Automobili Pininfarina has released new details
about the PF0 ahead of its debut at Monterey Car Week. Unfortunately for fans, the
showings will be private and reserved for people who have shown “significant
interest” in the car. That’s a bit disappointing, but the company has confirmed
its guests will be shown a full-scale model that previews the PF0’s styling and
technology.
Speaking of the design, the PF0 will draw
inspiration from some of Pininfarina’s most iconic model. These include the
1947 Cisitalia 202, the 1970 512S Modulo and the 2008 Sintesi concept.
Besides unveiling the car’s exterior design,
Pininfarina will provide additional information about the interior. The company
recently released a handful of teaser images which showed the model will have a
compact steering wheel and a small digital instrument cluster. Both will be
flanked by digital displays which show everything from vehicle information to
navigation data. Drivers will also find a head-up display which replaces a
number of conventional dials.
Pininfarina says the electric hypercar will have will
accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than two seconds and be able to
hit a top speed in excess of 300 km/h. The PF0 will also use
lightweight carbon fiber body panels which will help enable the model to have a
range of up to 500 km.
The PF0 will be hand-built in Italy and the first
model is scheduled to be complete in 2020. The company eventually has plans to
build a total of 150 units.
