Pininfarina Sintesi was a concept car designed by Pininfarina and unveiled in 2008 at Geneva Motor Show. The name 'Sintesi' means 'synthesis' in the Italian language. ==Context== The Pininfarina Sintesi was a 4-door 4-seat coupe. The design did not consider the car as a shape that covers the mechanicals, but one that gives a shape to the mechanicals around the passengers. The concept was born from the manufacturer’s need to communicate his way of interpreting the car of the future. With the Sintesi, Pininfarina introduced concepts including "Liquid Packaging" and "Transparent Mobility":〔("Pininfarina Sintesi" ). Hydrogen Fuel Cars Now. Retrieved 2012-03-19.〕 * "Liquid Packaging" refers to the concept of putting fuel cells and motors in each wheel. 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 tapered and aerodynamic (Cd = 0.27) profile . According to Pininfarina head of design Lowie Vermeersch the size of the engine and transmission to a major extent determines the shape of the vehicle and conventional powertrains are still too bulky. That’s why for the Sintesi, designers have developed a new fuel cell powertrain that can be spread out into different locations in the car.〔Vijayenthiran, Viknesh (2008-03-03). ("Update: Pininfarina Sintesi official details" ). Motor Authority. Retrieved 2012-03-19.〕 * "Transparent Mobility" refers to the communication system where a vehicle can exchange information with other vehicles and traffic technology, through wireless technology. “Our source of inspiration,” said Vermeersch, “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.”〔(2008 "Pininfarina Sintesi Concept" ). Supercars.net.
