Ferrari 275GTB
Designed by Francesco Salamone
In 1922, Battista “Pinin” Farina beat Enzo Ferrari in a hill-climb. Decades later, the old rivals began one of the auto industry’s most fruitful collaborations. Pininfarina–after 1961 the legal name of both the man and his carrozzeria–ended up contributing striking coachwork to many of Ferrari’s road cars. The Ferrari 275GTB, designed by Pininfarina’s Francesco Salamone, was panned by critics as dull and dreary when it debuted at the 1964 Paris show, but time has proven them wrong. The last Ferrari grand tourer to be blessed by Pinin’s touch is now revered as one of the sexiest car sculptures ever created.
