Hace un par de semanas, al despertarme con la radio, me pareció escuchar que había fallecido Pinifarina.

Lamentablemente no era una efeméride. El pasado 7 de agosto falleció Andrea Pininfarina en un accidente

Finally the mostly expected Pininfarina Sintesi concept has been unveiled at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show and it has a truly sexy design. It looks extremely aggressive and not only, as it really is with it’s 700hp little hydrogen reactors. Take a look at our gallery to see how this concept has evolved and how it became one of the most beautiful super cars.
Design Director Lowie Vermeersch said to us: "We like cars that are long and low". And the Sintesi is just that. At 4800mm long, it is slightly shorter than a Mercedes-Benz E-class, but at 1280mm it is slightly lower than a Porsche 911. The reason for this is not simply that the Pininfarina design team love long low cars, but because the design is based on 'liquid packaging' - which essentially means that the core technical elements may be separated and positioned all over the car.The Sintesi has a central fuel cell spine whose shape helps create a long diffuser under most of the car, and an electric motor powering each wheel. This technical configuration allows passengers to sprawl out over the long cabin which is Chief Designer Fuiseppe Randazzo's take on modern luxury.The core design in

Fabrik today added to its drive options today with a 250GB version of its SimpleDrive mobile drive. Sharing the same Pininfarina-designed shell as the original, the USB 2.0 external disk is useful for carrying as much as 19 hours of HD video or 63,000 songs, by the company’s estimates. It ships with StorageSync for quicker incremental backups and access to a 2GB MyFabrik online account for extra backups and sharing files with others.
The upgraded drive ships this month for $199 in a charcoal gray color and should work with any Mac or PC that supports the current USB standard. The drive is also supported by existing drives that range from a $99 80GB sapphire model to 160GB in an automotive-inspired red.
The countdown has begun for the model that restored Maserati's name to glory; according to Quattroruote, the Italian firm will give us a sneak peek of the all-new Coupe next Tuesday, prior to its official debut at the Geneva Show in March. Apart from the name change, perhaps the most significant news is the fact that Maserati has ditched Giugiaro for Pininfarina. If the translation I made from Quattroruote is correct, what we're seeing here are early-stage sketches obtained from Pininfarina. We'll have more on the Coupe's successor later on the weekend.

The Times of London reports that Indian automaker (and Jaguar and Land Rover's new Daddy) Tata Motors will develop an Indian design and manufacturing center in Pune with iconic Italian design house Pininfarina. Tata will also "participate" in Pinin's $100m capital increase (a.k.a. bailout) this summer. The Times notes that Pininfarina's controlling family could be about to unload as much as 55 percent of the Italian firm's stock, opening the possibility of a complete Tata takeover. With ties already close between Tata and Fiat, a joint ownership scenario is also possible. In case you haven't guessed where all this is headed, Tata has set aside $1b for the development of new Jaguar models. Tata and Pinin are already hashing-out the next gen Jags, with an F
