Pininfarina designed what?

Well, I was riding the T (subway) here in Boston today, and noticed something interesting -- the subway cars on the Green Line are, apparently, designed by Pininfarina. Sorry I don't have any pics, but I don't have a camera.

So -- does anyone else know of strange/non-automotive designs by some of the famous studios?

Lamborghini makes Tractors. Can't find pics of any of the new ones but damn they are fine looking tractors. All silver with nice looking mesh at the front and the Lamborghini text and everything. Very chic.

Pininfarina did the pendulum trains for Switzerland.

As a design house they pretty much have contracted to do everything over the yeras.

now with matra design as part I'm hoping to see some funky low-volume designs ( I can dream )

Anywa, check out

Giugiaro also desing sunglasses and other fancy things
