Richard Bartrop Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Pininfarina doing it's bit to make electric cars sexy. Apparently the plan is to produce it under their own name.
unclescott58 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Very nice. But nothing really makes it stand from other cars of the type. Good. But not great.
Belugawrx Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 I was just about to post that pic... I love the lines and shape?

Nothing to stand out? Electric powertrain. Nearly 1900 HP. "Expect a sub-two-second zero-to-60-mph time, zero to 186 mph in less than 12 seconds, and a top speed of around 217 mph. The company also says it is targeting a range of 280 miles". 150 will be made. Looks pretty good to me, if slightly skewed towards exotic $500k cars vs. $1m-3m hypercars. Sure looks better than the Tesla roadster coming out that looks pretty boring.

I expect more from Pininfarina in the looks department.
Matt Bacon Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Well, to be fair, everybody else copies what Pininfarina has done over the years. This is pure essence distilled from the mother lode. There’s some 288 GTO proportions and some P3 curves, a touch of McLaren at the front and especially P1 in the glasshouse, and the back end has a touch of the Zondas about it. Sure, it’s a bit generically hypercar, but curvaceously good looking, and not covered in supposedly “badass” aero touches that just make the whole thing incoherent. It’s remarkably svelte and elegant for something with power and performance in Chiron territory... best, M.
Richard Bartrop Posted March 5, 2019 Author Posted March 5, 2019 I thought it was classic Pininfarina. It doesn't necessarily shout "Hey, look at me!" but everything is in just the right place. We've already had way too much godawful styling that tries way too hard to be "distinctive". If we're getting a return to stylists who know what line and proportion is about, then you know what you can do with "distinctive" If every car on the road looked like this, I would be okay with it.

I think it looks sexy! I will pass though, as we have only maybe 0.5 seconds worth of straight road without a pothole.
Spex84 Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 I think it looks a lot like a McLaren P1, and that's a good thing! Love those flattened blade-like taillights. There are way too many cars running around these days that look pre-crushed, soI'm always glad to see a design that actually has well-resolved surfaces and lines that actually go somewhere.

martinfan5 Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 I have to say , I really like the styling, its smooth, sleek-ish if you will, not over the top.
