Following an exclusive unveiling of the Pininfarina
PF0 Concept to prospective clients at Pebble Beach, the Italian design house
has released a single image of the vehicle’s rear. As previous teasers indicated,
the PF0 hypercar adopts a unique shape and certainly looks bold enough to
compete with the current and future crop of hypercars.
Undeniably the most intriguing aspect of the PF0’s
rear are the taillights. They can be seen affixed to what look like floating
wings which stretch back from the rear wheel arches right to the very edge of
the car’s decklid. Not only does this create a unique look but it also probably
serves an important aerodynamic function to minimize drag.
Elsewhere, the image appears to show off the
hypercar’s lack of traditional wing mirrors, a bold diffuser, spacious glass
canopy, and potentially, some active aero flaps just forward of the taillights.
In a statement, Pininfarina said it received
overwhelmingly positive responses to the vehicle’s design during the private
event at Pebble Beach. It remains to be seen what changes will be made to the hypercar’s
design before production commences. What we do know is that the finished car
will be presented at next year’s Geneva Motor Show.
Pininfarina is promising insane levels of
performance for the vehicle. Thanks to the all-electric powertrain, it will
reach 100 km/h in less than two seconds, exceed 402 km/h,
and have a range exceeding 482 km.
