Pininfarina
has released more teaser shots of its Geneva bound
Sintesi concept car, this time as the design and
engineering concern explains the aerodynamic and styling
principles behind the design.
In the build
up to the 78th Geneva International motor show, where it
will present Sintesi to the media on 4th March,
Pininfarina has slowly been releasing information about
its latest automotive project, which it deems to be a
ground-breaking concept car, previously illustrating
with its innovative method of construction, design,
on-board communication systems and alternative
powertrains.
In its
latest information release, which as usual comes in the
form of a 'magazine', Pininfarina emphasises its rich
tradition of designing sporty four door cars and how
this influence has helped to shape the Sintesi project,
"we are used to looking at shapes from the past, not so
as to repeat them but simply to reaffirm the spirit that
has characterised the most successful expressions of our
design. The 'coda tronca' the best solution for cutting
off airflow."
Pininfarina
illustrates this point with three images of past concept
projects: the Citroën BL, Peugeot Nautilus and
Ferrari 'Pinin'. Meanwhile an attached image clearly
reveals that the Sintesi will feature recognisable 'coda
tronca' treatment to the rear end with a large glass
window section prominent and a distinct protrusion of
the rear bumper area.
"Everything
in Sintesi has been designed to minimise drag and make
aerodynamic performance as efficient as possible,"
explains Pininfarina, adding that: "Pininfarina line is
the result of the work of the Pininfarina design team, a
group of people concentrated on the adherence to
Pininfarina style which is based on constant innovation,
elegance and essentially targeting beauty. An
accumulation of elements that helps to create the motion
of Pininfarina products."
