Life Senator Sergio Pininfarina, Honorary Chairman of the Pininfarina Group, passed away last night, the 2nd of July at his home in Turin.
Pininfarina was responsible for many of the wall posters that decorated homes for many a decade. His works included several exotics including the 2002 Ferrari Enzo, the 1984 Ferrari Testarossa, the 2003 Maserati Quattroporte and even cheaper automobiles like the 1996 Peugeot 406 Coupe and Alfa Romeo Spider.
Sergio Pininfarina was born in Turin on September 8, 1926. He graduated in mechanical engineering from the Polytechnic of Torino in 1950 and began his career in the family firm, Carrozzeria Pinin Farina. In 2005 he was appointed Life Senator for honouring the Country for a lifetime of achievements.
Pininfarina lived a full-live……in automotive speak. God Speed!
