The Cisitalia 202 is so beautiful, it makes the Museo Guggenheim look about as aesthetically pleasing as the old Friarsgate car park in Winchester. To this day, Pininfarina cites the Cisitalia as the definitive point in the company’s history, with a design that would influence Italian cars for years to come.
Draw up a list of top 10 Pininfarina designs and it would be all too easy to fill it with Ferraris. Selecting the best would be a tough challenge, but few could argue with the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso. From the clean side profile so free of decoration, to the short stubby tail, the 250 GTL is automotive perfection. Company founder Battista P...
Looking at the Berlina Aerodinamica – or BMC Pininfarina – it’s hard to believe it was based on Morris 1800 ‘Landcrab’. Designed for the British Motor Company (BMC) in 1967, the Aerodinamica looked quite unlike the three-box saloons of the era and would influence car design for many years to come. The Citroen GS, Alfasud, Lancia Beta, Citroen CX an...
Is this the most European Corvette ever built? That’s a somewhat rhetorical question, because although the Rondine of 1963 was based on the C2 Corvette, only one was built, with the Pininfarina design thought too effeminate for American tastes. Today, 55 years on, the Rondine has aged gracefully and is, perhaps, a case of what might have been.
In an age when mid-engined sporting GTs were in fashion, the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 retained a traditional front-engine/rear-wheel-drive layout. But if that sounds conservative, the styling was anything but. Dubbed the Daytona following Ferrari’s 1-2-3 finish at the 1967 24-hour race, the 365 GTB/4 could boast Hollywood glamour that was years ahead of i...
The space-age Modulo is perhaps one of the most famous concept cars of all time. It’s also one of the most outlandish, with its two overlapping body shells, rectilinear waistline, near-horizontal windscreen and… well, just look at it. Based on the Ferrari 512S, and for decades a static concept car, the Modulo was purchased by James Glickenhaus, who...
The Ferrari 512 BB was added to Gran Turismo Sport in January 2018. It’s a beautiful car to ‘drive’, but it’s far nicer to race against one, because it gives you the opportunity to pull up behind to admire that glorious rear end. The 512 BB is visually similar to the 365 GT4 BB, but the two- instead of three-element rear lights are somehow cleaner ...
The Ferrari GTO (or 288 GTO) is a proper ‘bite the back of your hand’ car. From the light groups within the front spoiler to the wide and sculpted rear haunches, the GTO is somehow as lean as a long-distance runner and as muscular as a sprinter. It was designed and built for homologation purposes, but when Group B racing was banned, the GTO seemed ...
It has had its detractors, but to some people, the Testarossa is the archetypal Ferrari of the 1980s. Launched in 1984, the same year as the GTO, the Testarossa held little regard for Ferrari’s past, introducing rear lights covered by a horizontal grille and a much ‘softer’ front end. The ‘Red Head’ graced tens of thousands of bedroom walls through...
That accolade belongs to the Ferrari F40. Designed and built to commemorate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary, the F40 represented the peak of Maranello’s talent and expertise, wrapped in one of the most iconic bodies ever created. As ever, a small caption below an image isn’t enough to honour one of the great automotive landmarks of the 20th century. We’...
