What happened between Ferrari and Pininfarina?
Back in 2013, Ferrari made the decision to split with longtime external design firm Pininfarina. The move was surprising, given the decades of collaboration and legendary products from the brands. In the years since, Ferrari has grown its own design center, Centro Stile, into a hub for the brand. However, this special relationship came to an end with the 2012-17 Ferrari F12berlinetta, the last model entirely penned by Pininfarina, while Centro Stile Ferrari has designed each car since 2013’s LaFerrari.While few people know what really goes on behind the scenes, the most straightforward explanation is that Ferrari stopped using Pininfarina because its own in-house design studio, Centro Stile Ferrari, rendered Pininfarina’s services surplus to requirement.
