Geneva 2008: more images of the Pininfarina Sintesi

Pininfarina. Just the name evokes thoughts of sheet-metal rendered into curvaceous works of art. And at Geneva this year, Pininfarina did not disappoint, unveiling one of the most achingly beautiful four-door concepts we've seen to date. In fact, we were so taken with it, we had to bring you more after our own Jonathon Ramsey brought you the first live pics yesterday.
The Sintesi, whose slow reveal we brought you incrementally as the studio released details week by week in the wind-up to this year's Geneva Motor Show, takes the notion of a four-door coupe, crumples it up and ever so elegantly throws it in the face of just about every passenger vehicle that has come before it, including Pininfarina's own Maserati Quattroporte. Come to think of it, the QP is due for a replacement, and if the Sintesi previews the next Trident sedan in any way, we just might have to mortgage our homes.

Looks like another left over from the old days of the Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild competition.

Im really diggin them headlamps, and so sick of 2 foot square lamps casings to hold a couple of projector beams, or lamps that protrude from the body (accord) they seem very fragile and one parking mishap its cracked !

The more photos I see of this concept, the more I see the '67 Lamborghini Marzal...

...and, to a lesser extent, the subsequent production Espada.

Gorgeous stuff!

I don't get what people see in this car. To me, it looks like some 1980's concept car. Pininfarina and Italdesign-Giugiaro really disappointed this year.

The interior is a BIG disappointment.

well, it only goes to show how subjective taste is. though i appreciate some of what was done with this concept i prefer the giugiaro by far, which was panned in the post covering that concept. funny.
