For the occasion
of the Concours d’Elegance Villa d’Este 2005, which will
take place during the weekend of the 22nd to 24th April,
Pininfarina will celebrate its 75th anniversary in style by
means of a retrospective presentation of some of the more
significant cars in its long history.
In particular, on Sunday the 24th April, at Villa Erba,
Cernobbio, a special presentation will gather thirty
historical cars, including both low and high volume full
production series vehicles, significant styling models, and
research prototypes.
Queen of this mouthwatering collection will be the Birdcage
75th, which was realised specifically in order to celebrate
the 75th anniversary of the company.
Recently introduced for the first time as a world-wide
preview at the Geneva Motor show, where the “Best Concept”
prize was awarded under the “Editor’s Choice Awards”, the
Birdcage 75th is based on Maserati tradition, with advanced
mechanics, and has been developed in collaboration with
Motorola: a dream car that synthesises exclusive design,
sport DNA, and technological innovation.

Between other
Pininfarina historical milestones on exposition at Villa
Erba , a 1947 Cisitalia 202 will be on display, which was
the first car in the world to be exposed at the Museum of
Modert Art (MOMA) of New York. A 1955 Alfa Romeo Giulietta
Spider will also be present, the car that marked the
evolution of the company from coachbuilder to manufacturer.
A 1966 Peugeot 406 Coupé will pose as an example of
Pininfarina’s ability to offer automotive manufactures a
full range of services (design, engineering and production).
The Ferrari Rossa concept, which received the “Concept Car
of the Year” reward at Paris in 2000, will be one of the
more modern cars on display. The 2003 Maserati Quattoporte
luxury sedan will symbolise the return of Maserati and
Pininfarina after 50 years. Pininfarina’s continuous quest
in automotive research and development will be represented
by the 2004 Pininfarina Nido concept, an innovative
prototype which focused particularly on the development of
automotive safety.
