AUTOMOBILI PININFARINA GARNERS THREE INTERNATIONAL ACCOLADES

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 6 (Bernama) -- Automobili Pininfarina has kicked off 2024, winning three awards, as it continues to build on the success of a record-breaking previous year.

In a statement, the German-based company said LUXlife Magazine has named Automobili Pininfarina ‘Luxury Electric Performance Car Manufacturer of the Year 2024’, within the ‘Leaders in Luxury’ category, at its annual awards.

Celebrating the unparalleled achievements and exceptional creativity in the realm of luxury, LUXlife awards honour the leaders and pioneers who redefine excellence within the industry, setting higher standards of sophistication and elegance.

This was followed by another win for the PURA Vision design concept, which was awarded Silver in Conceptual Products / Automotive & Transport Product Design at the 2024 International Design Awards.

PURA Vision represents the beginning of what promises to be a groundbreaking era for electric luxury vehicles  (e-LUVs), and was penned by its Chief Design Officer, Dave Amantea, in which it was unveiled at 2023 Monterey Car Week.

The principles of the PURA philosophy, established by Automobili Pininfarina, transform the DNA of iconic models from Pininfarina SpA's past to define the future, balancing inspiration from iconic classic cars with futuristic elements.

Inspired by classic proportions and exquisite detailing, PURA Vision presents an elegant silhouette with bold cab-rear proportions that combine timeless beauty with exquisite detailing to create a dynamic identity with unmistakable presence, with show-stopping features including its narrow glasshouse and tri-opening pillarless doors.

Most recently, the Automobili Pininfarina Battista Edizione Nino Farina was named Best Electric Hypercar at Robb Report Monaco & Côte d’Azur Car of the Year 2024. Introduced at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, it is a tribute to racing legend Nino Farina – nephew of company founder Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina and the first Formula One World Champion.

Finished in a bespoke Rosso Nino paint complemented by a special livery on the lower body, as well as in Bianco Sestriere and Iconica Blu, the exterior design is completed by the Satin Gold 10-spoke forged aluminium Glorioso alloy wheels.
