Pininfarina Sintesi

With the Sintesi, Pininfarina introduced concepts including "Liquid Packaging" and "Transparent Mobility":[2] Lowie Vermeersch, Pininfarina's head of design at that time said in his statement, “Our source of inspiration, was man’s freedom over technology, a car in which technology gives creative freedom back to the designer and allows us to explore new forms and future scenarios.

Which is why we combined and tested our ideas with the innovative technologies provided by our partners in this project.”[4] The Pininfarina Sintesi won the Red Dot Award for 2008, among more than 1900 competitors from 48 countries.

Scissor doors were used at the front and rear which allowed easy entry and exit of the occupants.

The centre tunnel integrates a bio-fuel tank and a reformer capable of producing hydrogen.
