How do you follow the launch of a 1,900bhp all-electric hypercar? For Pininfarina the answer was simple design a train, of course. Now, this may seem a little out of the blue, but the Italian design house does actually have quite a bit of history in the railway industry. Pininfarina has been responsible for crafting high-speed trains in both Italy and Spain, as well as standard trains for the Swiss, Danish and Norwegian railways. Stay with us here, because they"ve also designed the light rail system in Lille, and a number of trams that are still used in various cities in Italy, Greece, Sweden and Turkey. Blimey. And how about an even better train fact for you? Pininfarina actually designed the Eurostar trains when they were refreshed in 2014. You can use that one when you"re next down the pub. Or maybe don"t.
