Pininfarina is most famous for its association with Ferrari, but its back catalogue is far more diverse than that. From coach-built Cadillacs in the 1930s, to radical concept cars of its own, the Italian design consultancy has shaped more beautiful cars that any of its rivals and hasn"t lost its touch as the decades have ticked by.Somehow, somebody has boiled down a portfolio of over 800 cars to just 11 in the company"s on-site museum at its Turin HQ. The cynical among you will claim that"s all it had space for. And you"d be right. But this handful of cars tells a mesmerising story. As luck would have it, we had Fabio Filippini, Pininfarina"s Chief Creative Officer, on hand to tell that story.
