Pininfarina protagonist at CES 2022

Visionary concept cars and futuristic experiences, but also cars ready for series production: at CES 2022, Pininfarina offers a comprehensive look at the mobility of tomorrow.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which opens today in Las Vegas, is the world’s leading trade show for consumer electronics. Pininfarina has the opportunity to present its strong commitment to exterior, interior and UX design applied to sustainable mobility through strategic partnerships such as TOGG and Vinfast.

The Smart Concept by TOGG

The Smart Concept, designed under the direction of the TOGG Design Team led by Murat Günak in collaboration with Pininfarina as a strategic partner, is a dynamic and innovative fastback that maintains the stylistic characteristics of TOGG’s DNA. The stylistic concept is based on the upcoming C-SUV 2023 model, unveiled in preview in Turkey on December 27, 2019. The illuminated TOGG logo on the hood, an exclusive design feature of this model, symbolizes the union between East and West. For the interior design, great attention was paid to the user experience. To reveal its innovative approach to mobility, what TOGG is presenting is not just a vehicle but a whole set of products and services, a single mobility ecosystem, called USECASE Mobility®, which integrates a wide range of solutions.

The interior, developed with a design approach typical of SUVs, shows a sporty and elegant steering wheel and four individual seats – the front ones in light color leather, the rear ones in dark leather – with integrated turquoise seat belts to emàphasize not only the electrification but also the brand’s DNA. The doors have a °book opening° system without a B pillar. The car is metallic gray with purple and indigo accents.

The VinFast VF e35 and VF e36

VinFast will present its complete range of electric vehicles consisting of five models with which it enters the A-B-C-D-E segments, including the two new models VF e35 and VF e36, designed by Pininfarina and recently unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The VinFast design team and renowned Pininfarina design studio use a modern design language that combines smooth curves, crisp lines and bold finishes, harmonized in an eye-catching style. These seductive combinations create a style called “Dynamic Balance”, which gives the design power and forward motion. In addition, the interiors are created with an eye on comfort, luxury and the driving experience.

Battista Reversario

Automobili Pininfarina has reached new heights of automotive craftsmanship with the introduction of the Battista Reversario, a bespoke creation inspired by the Battista Anniversario and the concept of balance. Representing the epitome of ‘Dream Cars. Made Real’, this latest offering underscores Automobili Pininfarina’s commitment to crafting truly unique vehicles in collaboration with its clients.

Each vehicle produced at Automobili Pininfarina’s Cambiano atelier is a testament to individuality, reflecting the distinct personality of its owner. The Battista Reversario stands as a prime example of this ethos, showcasing the level of personalization available to discerning clients.

Collaborating closely with Automobili Pininfarina designers, the client has conceived a one-of-a-kind vehicle that embodies their vision and preferences. Already a collector of automotive rarities, the client’s acquisition of the fifth and final Battista Anniversario model laid the groundwork for the creation of the Battista Reversario.

A standout feature of the Battista Reversario is its unique color scheme, meticulously crafted to be the inverse of the iconic Pininfarina heritage-inspired design theme that characterized the Anniversario. The lower body gleams in Bianco Sestriere gloss, contrasting elegantly with the upper body finished in Grigio Antonelliano gloss.

Continuing the theme, the pinstripes echo the upper stripe in the signature Iconica Blu hue. Custom inscriptions, including the vehicle’s distinctive ‘Reversario’ nameplate, adorn the carbon side wings and the underside of the active rear wing, both forward-facing and in reflection.

Inside the cabin, Pilota seats feature white-on-white Alcantara quilting against a perforated background in Iconica Blu. While the overall ambiance is predominantly black, accent details such as the cupholder retainer, headliner center bezel, and seatbelts are highlighted in Iconica Blu, lending a harmonious contrast.

Completing the ensemble is an exclusive three-piece luggage set tailored to the client’s lifestyle. Crafted from luxurious black leather with Iconica Blu accents and off-white Alcantara quilting, the set exemplifies the ultimate in bespoke craftsmanship.

Speaking on the creation of the Reversario, the client remarked, “Anniversario and Reversario were destined to be created by the Automobili Pininfarina team. I simply challenged them to understand what could be created if you follow your heart and passion. All credit goes to them.”

Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, emphasized the significance of the Reversario as the ultimate expression of the company’s design philosophy. “Reversario was the ultimate commission. Taking inspiration from the original Anniversario, it is a reflection in every aspect, using a timeless combination of colors to create an opposite that works alone and together,” he stated.

Both the Battista Anniversario and Reversario stand as milestones in automotive history, representing the pinnacle of Italian engineering prowess. Powered by a cutting-edge electric powertrain, these hyper GTs offer unparalleled performance while embodying the luxury and elegance synonymous with the Pininfarina name.

With its blend of hypercar capabilities and GT comfort, the Battista series sets a new standard for automotive excellence, promising an exhilarating driving experience like no other. As the automotive world celebrates the harmony achieved through the creation of the Battista twins, Automobili Pininfarina reaffirms its commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive innovation.
