Pininfarina, who’s name for the better part of the last century has been associated with cars like the Enzo and the 250 GTO, is now associated itself with an electric supercar shortly after being bought by Indian Auto Giant Mahindra. Called the PF0 (PF-Zero), it is expected to source power from a Rimac powertrain, with a cumulative output of 2000 hp, and is expected to be one of the most luxurios electric cars of our time.Now, in a surprise announcement, Automobili Pininfarina has put out one more teaser, of their electric hypercar,that includes a gorgeous silhouette shot that is bound to grab the attention wherever it goes. That’s not all though, interestingly enough Pininfarina has also announced a revitalization investment of $22 million into its parent company Pininfarina SpA such that they can age their startup spin-off in the design and development of the PF0 luxury electric hypercar and the future range of Automobili Pininfarina cars.”
Now, if you found that a bit odd, Automobili Pininfarina is technically a part of Pininfarina SpA. In fact, Pininfarina SpA that is responsible for the best-designed cars in History including, the Ferrari 250 GT and the Enzo. What is even more interesting is the fact that Mahindra owns the brand Pininfarina and both these companies, so it seems like the spin-off is working towards a revival of the Pininfarina brand overall, thereby, inclusive of its parent company. In the bargain, we get another look at what the PF0 could look like, and we aren’t complaining. While the PF0 was already showcased at a rather exclusive private showing, where those that attended raved for weeks about how incredible the car was to look at.
Unfortunately, this also means that it will be a considerable while before we actually get to see the production version of the PF0. Prima Facie it would seem that the PFO is on a fast track to Geneva next year, with sales starting in 2020. Needless to say, it will be a proud moment for India, as the world’s fastest and likely most luxurious electric Supercar will come from an Indian owned automotive brand.
