Embracing the ethos of the Design District, Pininfarina's exhibition space is a hub of comprehensive design solutions, affirming the brand's prowess in seamlessly integrating a complete spectrum of services to support the automotive industry.
Beyond showcasing physical and virtual designs, Pininfarina introduces something unique in the Design District – its Design Center. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in an experiential space where they can test first hand Pininfarina’s state-of-the-art design tools and holistic skills in style, aerodynamics, and User Interaction. A way to experience how design is developed in an advanced style center today: highlights include the ergonomic buck Cellula, a tool for the various phases of a new vehicle development, and an immersive Virtual Reality experience, which shows how Pininfarina works on exteriors including aerodynamic requirements.
“Pininfarina's participation in GIMS 2024 - states CEO Silvio Angori – reflects our belief in the automotive industry, our tradition of presenting visionary concepts, and our commitment to supporting the industry's evolution. As always, Geneva is a moment that enables us to articulate our vision optimally, synthesizing all our stylistic and functional skills. This includes fundamental technical aspects from our history, such as aerodynamics and the integration of the most suitable propulsion systems, combined with the lightness of our style."
At GIMS 2024 Pininfarina unveils the Enigma GT, providing a glimpse into the company's forward-thinking mission. It’s a fully virtual Design Study exploring the intersection of beauty and technology, symbolizing the initiation of a thought process that will be further developed by Pininfarina, in view of its 95th anniversary in 2025.
"The Enigma GT – says Felix Kilbertus, Chief Creative Officer Pininfarina - is a beginning of sorts, something still a little mysterious, a first step in solving a tricky problem. We set out to offer a fresh perspective on what everyday driving pleasure might mean for a new generation. We decided to start by exploring one of the best automotive canvasses around: a contemporary GT, a 2+2 with desirable, exotic looks, done the Italian way – the Pininfarina way – exuding purity of design, elegance, and Italian flair. It is an ongoing study, an optimistic work in progress that speaks of our confidence in the future and the charm of the automobile. It is an open invitation to re-invent the future together”.
The Pininfarina Enigma GT is conceived as a bold statement at the Geneva International Motor Show 2024. In its approach to a visionary Design Study, Pininfarina opted for a contemporary GT capable of blending unique characteristics:
a 2+2 seater configuration, coupled with a high performance mid-rear engine layout. The overall dimensions are inspired by the search for compactness, for the benefit of efficiency and coherently with the GT character, with a relatively long wheelbase enabling the 2+2 interior roominess.
a powertrain technology aimed at a very efficient combination of weight containment, driving fun, and sustainability. Pininfarina’s technology neutral approach led its designers and engineers to adopt a hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine driving the rear wheels, coupled with an electric motor at the front axle. This configures an AWD (All-Wheel Drive) setup, very consistent with a high performance GT car.
The mid-rear engine layout has allowed for the optimization of the aerodynamic study of the front part of the vehicle and the minimization of the frontal area. Along with the extensive use of active aerodynamic elements and a careful study of the underbody fairing of the vehicle, Pininfarina has achieved an extremely efficient aerodynamic configuration, combining minimal drag with significant downforce.
a desirable, exotic look – done the Italian way - the Pininfarina way - exuding purity of design, elegance, and Italian flair.
