The well-known design company, founded in 1930 by Andrea Pininfarina's grandfather, is best known for its highly acclaimed designs on behalf of Ferrari and Alfa Romeo, but has also often worked for Fiat. But other companies were also supplied by the Italian company. This is how the Ford Focus Coupe-Cabrio is produced by Pininfarina.
Pininfarina lived for the family business. He completed his engineering studies in 1981 at the age of 24, worked for a year in the USA and then returned. The CEO was a leader in the employers' association Confindustria. (dpa)
