From the end of the month, visitors to the Museo Ferrari in Maranello will be able to walk around an exhibition dedicated to the work of Sergio Pininfarina. The showcase, dubbed 'Le grandi Ferrari di Sergio Pininfarina' - 'Sergio Pininfarina's great Ferraris', is spread across three halls at Ferrari's famous museum.
Each hall provides an insight into Pininfarina's impact on the company's motorsport heritage; with the first hall concentrating on the races. Here can be found two famous 250 models - the last Le Mans winner and a Touring Trophy winner driven by Sir Stirling Moss - an experimental Formula 1 Sigma from the 1960s and the latest Ferrari F1 car.
Hall number two displays purely concept cars, designed and developed at the Turin studio under Pininfarina's watchful eye. Models here include the Modulo and the four-door Pinin. Hall three showcases 11 GT road cars. These are divided up displaying the front-engined Berlinettas first, followed by the mid-rear engined models and finishing with today's offerings.
To ensure no cars go unmissed, the museum has dedicated a wall displaying every car created by Ferrari and Pininfarina from 1952 to date; showing previously unseen material from Pininfarina's personal collection.
As well as static models, a previously unreleased video interview of Sergio Pininfarina will be displayed; speaking of Pininfarina's relationship with Enzo Ferrari and Luca di Montezemolo.
The exhibition opens on Saturday 27th October 2012 and runs until Monday 7th January 2013. Doors open between 9:30am and 6pm, with guided tours and private functions available on request.
