Why it matters

A one-off four-door show car by Pininfarina, shown at the 1980 Turin Motor Show to mark the company's fiftieth anniversary. It is notable as the first Ferrari with a flat-12 engine placed in front of the driver and for its four doors.

History

Introduced at the 1980 Turin Motor Show, the Pinin was a four-door design with a flat-12 that was not in working order. Enzo Ferrari invited Pininfarina to discuss a limited run, but this came to nothing and the Pinin was retired as a one-off after touring the major motor shows.
