Pininfarina Pininfarina Pura Vision BEV

Absolutely lovely, isn't it ? It's not yet clear who furnished the underpinnings. Apparently not Rivian or Rimac. Perhaps Benteler/Bosch ? We'll know a bit more by autumn, I reckon.

Yes, it is Benteler/Bosch. The story with Rivian is interesting. Apparently Perschke was a bit arrogant and didn't commit, then Rivian got the 500M and 700M from Amazon and Ford and just said: 'Screw off Pininfarina' Then they had to look for another partner and it has negatively influenced the SUV development.

Coin flipping time.
Vapourware or electric car that will deliver below customer expectations?

Errrr...

No.

But it's an Autocar artists impression, so I won't hold it against Pininfarina.

Different strokes...

I really like the flank sculpturing graphic, the interesting taillamps and short front overhang. I'm imagining these elements transferred to a more stretched, lower and somewhat longer hooded 4 door sedoupe. But as for the illustration, I think it's pretty sharp for an SUV/SAC.

...and it is anticipated that a concept will be presented to the public sometime later this summer.

High hopes for this

Wholeheartedly agree. The Battista BEV hypercar is simply so indescribably impressive. And on a far less elevated, far more pedestrian level, Pininfarinas' contribution to the design of Turkeys' TOGG BEV sedan (pictured below) is testimony to the companys' highest level of competence when it comes to automotive design.
