    Pininfarina Launches New Website To Strengthen Its Online Presence

    Mahindra-owned Pininfarina has announced the launch of its new website detailing out its complete product and service that are on offer. The Italian marque says that the new website will further aid to strengthen the company’s digital presence and showcase how broad and structured its service offer is. For this project, Pininfarina has roped in the creative agency Vangogh from Milan, which has designed and developed the new website.

    Talking about the company’s new website, Giuseppe Bonollo, Director Sales and Marketing, Design, Pininfarina S.p.A. said, “We are a company made up of people with a multitude of skills, from car design to engineering, from industrial design to architecture, from digital design to the ability to build prototypes and cars in small series. A wealth of skills that allows us to have a unique and comprehensive approach to projects, always consistent with our mission from the beginning: the creation of products and services that transform and innovate the experience for the end user. The new site is, therefore, the global showcase of the plurality of our skills and services”.

    In addition to the company’s several design projects, the website also offers details about its all-new fully-electric hypercar the Battista, which was revealed early this year in Cambiano, Turin. Furthermore, the website also talks about Mahindra’s recently launched intermediate commercial vehicle, the Mahindra Furio.

    Max Galli, President of vangogh said, “We are excited to collaborate with Pininfarina, another Italian excellence that entrusts to our agency the objective of enhancing the Made in Italy talent oriented to the global export of quality. Creativity, innovation and effectiveness are the levers that will guide us in this precious “collaboration”, in which the values of Pininfarina reflect those of our agency”.

  • Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo To Go Into Series Production

    Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo To Go Into Series Production

    It was at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, that Porsche first unveiled the Mission E Cross Turismo concept. Back then, we’d told you that the car looked great and did not have that concept feel to it. It’s very close to something you’d see on actual roads and it was as production ready as it gets. However, Porsche still called it a concept as the Supervisory board of the company had not given the green light for the project. But now the company has said that the Supervisory Board of Porsche AG gave the green light for series production of the concept study Mission E Cross Turismo. The sports car manufacturer will create 300 additional jobs at its headquarters in Zuffenhausen for production of the vehicle, which was presented at the Geneva Motor Show next year.

    The Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo is a derivative of the Taycan

    The Porsche Cross Turismo includes an emotional design with striking off-road elements as well as an innovative display and operating concept with touchscreen and eye-tracking control. It measures in just under 5 metres and has all-wheel drive and can also be charged by induction, at a charging station or using the Porsche home energy storage system.

    The four-door Cross Turismo has an 800-volt architecture and is prepared for connection to the fast charging network. It has a system output of 600 horses and a range of 500 km (NEDC). This enables the Mission E Cross Turismo to accelerate to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and to reach a speed of 200 km/h in under 12 seconds. The vehicle is a derivative of the Taycan which is the first purely electric Porsche that will be launched in the market in 2019. Porsche plans to invest more than six billion euros in electromobility by 2022.
