CLASSIC CAR SIMULATORS BY PININFARINA
A Racing Experience in the Era of Classic Cars
The Project
Revive the golden era in automotive history
Relive the charm and elegance of the historic cars of the past thanks to the technologies of the future. This is the goal of “Sportiva” and “Leggenda”, the simulators of historic vehicles born from the collaboration between Pininfarina and TCCT, the exclusive provider of services for classic car collectors.
Two elegant and highly performing simulators, which allow enthusiasts to rediscover the emotions that only vintage vehicles of the past can convey. A faithful and immersive experience, created starting from the strong love and deep passion that TCCT and Pininfarina have for the classic automotive world.
This project has a special meaning for me as driving this simulator takes me back to when I was a child and I had the opportunity to see the passion and dedication that my grandfather and father had for cars. Having the opportunity to go back to that moment through technology and experience again the unique charm, elegance, and sensations of driving the most prestigious classic cars, is priceless
The Way
Driving simulators for the gentleman driver
The design of the simulators takes inspiration from the legendary Cisitalia 202, the first car in the world to be permanently on display in a Museum of Modern Art, the MoMA in New York. Starting from its elegant and timeless forms that have made it the title of “rolling sculpture”, Pininfarina created two new sculptures, this time “static” but capable of running and competing thanks to digital technology.
“Sportiva” and “Leggenda” were entirely designed and subsequently assembled at the Pininfarina plants in Cambiano. From “Sportiva” comes the idea of creating “Leggenda”, a limited series of 9 pieces created to celebrate Pininfarina’s 90th anniversary.
The Idea
A new dimension in classic car passion
In nine decades of history, Pininfarina has designed countless exclusive classic cars. Collaborating with TCCT, which for years has been dedicated to the preservation and care of this type of vehicles, is the natural result for two companies that share the same deep feeling for the history of motoring. The goal of collaborating is to create a reliable platform, created by collectors for collectors, enthusiasts and experts. A place where to meet and enter in contact.
With this project we wanted to talk about our history, about passion, elegance, competition. To do this, we started with the emotion that the timeless beauty of our most iconic vehicle, the Cisitalia, arouses, and then we enriched the project with elements capable of creating a unique immersive experience
