Pininfarina has presented the Sintesi Concept. The exterior is a mix of a coupé and a shooting-brake and adopts a classical formal language combined with modern design elements.
Three years after the Birdcage 75th, Pininfarina returns with the Sintesi, a new concept car that explores ideas and solutions for the car of the future.
"The Sintesi is not only a testament to the creativeness of our design team," declared Andrea Pininfarina, Chairman and CEO of the Group, "but it reiterates our historical ability to anticipate stylistic and technological solutions that we will see in the cars of the future."
The Pininfarina Sintesi is a sports car with four doors and four seats, developed by a highly innovative approach: it does not consider the car as a shape that covers the mechanicals, but one that gives a shape to the mechanicals around the passengers, starting from the latter. This approach, which is known as "Liquid" Packaging, has overturned traditional volumetric balances, improving weight distribution and lowering the centre of gravity, which are important elements for driving dynamics.
This was made possible by close collaboration with Nuvera, which developed the Quadrivium Fuel Cells system, the various components of which were distributed around the car, with four fuel cells positioned near to the wheels. The result is that the space for passengers is much more generous - in proportion to the total volume of the car - without detracting from the sporty line with its relaxed, elegant profile which is sleek, tapered and aerodynamic (Cd = 0.27). The modular nature of the fuel cells, combined with the batteries and a sophisticated overall electronic architecture (developed with PI Shurlok), allows for modular use of the available power depending on driving conditions.
"Our source of inspiration," said Lowie Vermeersch, Pininfarina Design Director, "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. But at the same time, we did not want everything to be limited to a flight of fancy, we wanted our approach to be very concrete. Which is why we combined and tested our ideas with the innovative technologies provided by our partners in this project."
The Pininfarina Sintesi was imagined in a setting of Transparent Mobility which, thanks to Clancast®, the radio technology developed by Reicom after years of research, envisages that all cars act as nerve cells, creating a dynamic communications network managed by a disseminated intelligence. A real "living connective tissue" on which data and information about traffic and security, audio and video, Internet and cross-media content can travel. A concept of wireless connectivity that establishes a continuous, transparent dialogue between the town, the road and the vehicles that we will drive in the future, without limiting the motorist’s autonomy, but increasing his sense of freedom.
This futuristic scenario, based on concrete, existing technology, opens the door to advanced active safety solutions which in turn have made it possible to design the car with volumes that are not conditioned by today’s bulky passive safety systems.
The important role played by electronics in the Pininfarina Sintesi project is also evident in the design of the interior and the lights. Inside, the facia symbolises the flow of information in which the car moves. Created as a single semi-transparent piece by Materialise, using the additive technology of personalised manufacturing, its shape disseminates the information around the passenger compartment thanks to the intuitive use of colour and light.
The lights become focal points through which the car dialogues with its environment. In addition to the innovative LED system supplied by Osram, which made it possible to create a simple, strong shape that underlines the car’s central axis, the "headlights" also incorporate the telecameras and the proximity radar system.
Больше четырех недель кузовное ателье Pininfarina держало своих фанатов и поклонников в ожидании, порционно выдавая информацию о своем новом концепте Sintesi. Но момент, когда подробная информация должна стать достоянием общественности настал - 4 марта в Женеве открылся ежегодный автосалон. Одним из экспонатов его и стал долгожданный концепт от итальянских кутюрье.
Как и предполагалось ранее, Sintesi несет не только новаторство в дизайне, он также имеет инновационную начинку в виде электромоторов, которых у него четыре. По одному на каждом из колес. Их суммарная мощность составляет 80 кВт. Этого может показаться немного, но не для этой машины, у которой коэффициент лобового сопротивления составляет 0,27. Подтверждают это и динамические характеристики: в обычном режиме скорость машины 222 км/ч, в режиме оverboost – 248 км/ч. Каждое колесо имеет крутящий момент 750 Нм, что соответствуем показателям суперкаров. Однако не стоит забывать, что Pininfarina Sintesi должен все-таки демонстрировать изящные черты, а не быть спортивным монстром в благородной упаковке, поэтому сногсшибательными цифрами разгона он хвалиться не будет. Стандарт «0-100» он проделывает за 9,1 сек в обычном режиме, в спортивном - за 7,5 сек. Несмотря на то, что концепт совмещает в себе самые последние достижения и как никто другой ориентирован на удобство для своих обитателей, ожидать его серийного воплощения не стоит. А вот некоторые из применяемых в нем идей, возможно, скоро появятся на серийных моделях каких-нибудь компаний.
