In 1960, the newly rebranded Pininfarina called on a professor from Turin Polytechnic, asking him to apply his knowledge from other aero-intensive fields to an aerodynamically efficient car. He came up with the one-off Pininfarina X. I think it's darling with those cute little fins.
Shown at Turin in 1960 and Brussels in 1961, it resided in the company’s museum until 2007 and is in largely original condition with sound paint and interior. For just $595,000 it could be yours!
