Latest On The Pininfarina Sintesi Concept

It seems quite clear that one of the focal points of the upcoming Pininfarina Sintesi concept car has to do with a society where vehicles talk to each other to potentially eliminate traffic and accidents. This information is insinuated in the latest edition of the Sintesi Magazine, released on the Pininfarina concept's website.

This new issue, also subtitled "Transparent Mobility", places the Sintesi as a vehicle that "communicates and interacts continually with other elements." In doing so, the apparently adjustable auto-pilot tells the vehicle to speed up and slow down, pending road conditions and vehicle movement. In one illustrated scenario, the Sintesi is approaching an intersection at the same time as several other cars. But with no stoplights, it takes the Sintesi's artificial intelligence to determine the speed and trajectory to navigate through the crossroads as efficiently as possible.

Should the Sintesi have a viable system, called ClanCast, traffic lights and road signs would become obsolete. Signals would be sent to the driver and displayed in the car on the completely decentralized data network.

Automobile Auto-Pilot is not a new idea, and frequently pops up in science fiction (I, Robot, anyone?). It will be very interesting to see a fresh perspective on this idea. The Pininfarina Sintesi will debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

Final Pininfarina Sintesi Teaser

As promised, Pininfarina have been trickling information through regarding its new Sintesi concept car as the weeks go by in the lead up to next week's Geneva Motor Show 2008.

Pininfarina have long had a history of producing some of the most beautiful production cars and also some of the most outlandish concept cars. Sintesi means synthesis in Italian. Pininfarina describes the Sintesi as a "synthesis of beauty, sportiness and functionality,". The Sintesi is the latest concept car from Pininfarina since the oddly named Birdcage 75th which was presented some 3 years ago also in Geneva.

Previously the chairman, Andrea Pininfarina, gave an indication of what Pininfarina want to get out of this concept; “Three years ago we unveiled Birdcage 75th, our last prototype. Together with our new concept Sintesi we would like to anticipate new car design trends. In Sintesi, we put all our goodwill in looking at the future, first and foremost in resorting to the excellence of our design.”



Powered by an advanced fuel cell powerplant, the Sintesi is said to have around 700hp at its disposal and can seat four people in comfort. This design is sure to be a crowd puller at this years Geneva show.

Pininfarina Sintesi Concept first sketch revealed

Pininfarina has released the first sketch of the new Sintesi, its first concept car since the Birdcage 75th, presented in the 2005 edition of the Geneva Motor Show. Due to be first shown to the public in March, also at the Geneva event, the Sintesi has been given a website of its own, www.sintesi.pininfarina.com , only to tease visitors about what the Italian “azienda” has prepared this time. Most of the images in the photo album have been taken from it.

The Sintesi, as its name states, intends to be a synthesis of the sportiness that has always emerged from Pininfarina’s projects and the functionality another of its famous concept cars, the Nido, has demonstrated so well. These ideas would perfectly fit the new electric car Pininfarina will release in 2010, in a partnership with the French company Bollore. Most people would think the logical choice would be the Nido, since the own company relates the new product to its city cars. The current conception of what an electric car should be also points to small vehicles, but the Nido is a two-seater and Pininfarina has already informed the electric car will be a four-seater, just like the Sintesi will be…

The low-volume production, only 15,000 cars a year, also points out that Pininfarina’s electric vehicle will be more willing to face the Fisker Karma than a smart fortwo.

Sintesi is also the first concept created under the direction of Lowie Vermeersch. Check out what he says about the car: “This concept car is the synthesis of our values, of the love for our work and our passion for innovation, of beauty driven by functionality, of sportiness and elegance. However, Sintesi isn’t only the expression of Pininfarina design; it also embraces innovative technologies that allow us to explore new typologies of mobility, active safety and packaging solutions.” Any doubts it is a serious candidate to become a production electric car?

The chairman Andrea Pininfarina endorses this idea. “Three years ago we unveiled Birdcage 75th, our last prototype. Together with our new concept Sintesi we would like to anticipate new car design trends. In Sintesi, we put all our goodwill in looking at the future, first and foremost in resorting to the excellence of our design.” Let’s way and see!
