Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio

One innovation consists of floats and an aerodynamic headrest attached to the roll rather than the body of the seats, becoming almost elements of the exterior more than the interior. In addition to contributing to the lines, this solution also acts as a fairing of the heads in the rear. In front of the door panel, in a small recess of the channel, are housed the two helmets. Made on a specific design of Pininfarina in collaboration with Newmax, helmets of the Sergio are personalized with the color of the exterior car.
The Ferrari Sergio is loaded with a 4.5L V8 that puts out 562hp at 9,000rpm and 398lb-ft. of torque at 6,000rpm which gets it from 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds. You can own one of these bad boys for only $2.5 million dollars.
The Pininfarina Style Centre has transformed the original car, a Ferrari 458 Spider, into this roadster car with calculations and tests in the wind tunnel of Grugliasco to optimize aerodynamic performance. In particular, new bodywork has been realized, full carbon, with a weight savings of approximately 10% in relation to the bodywork original aluminum, all to the benefit of acceleration and recovery. Compared to the original car, then, have been included in light alloy wheel rims monodado by 21', with specific design, and a hub derived from Ferrari 458 Challenge. The aerodynamics have allowed us to achieve more interesting results, starting with the creation of a virtual windshield. The elimination of the windshield would, in fact, the arrival of a stream of air pressure increasing with the speed on the head of the driver and the passenger. The engineers and designers at Pininfarina have designed, built and tested an airfoil placed in a shape of the bonnet, which produces a double deflection of the flow of air entering the passenger compartment. The first deviation is made from the wing itself, the second from the air that accelerates the channel created between the airfoil and the corresponding shape of the molding in the trunk. The result is that, thanks to the virtual windshield, the air passes above the heads of the driver and the passenger, greatly increasing the comfort. This effect also contributes to increase the aerodynamic downforce on the front axle of the car. The virtual windscreen is already effective from 50 km/h.
