Ethereal PURA Vision, In a striking revelation, Pininfarina has pulled the curtains off a mesmerizing and utterly unconventional electric crossover, flaunting a panoramic glass roof that adds an enchanting touch. Brace yourself, for the world is about to witness the grand debut of the PURA Vision concept during the upcoming Monterey Car Week, scheduled for the latter part of this month.
The distinguished Italian coachbuilder has astounded enthusiasts with its latest creation – a four-wheeled marvel christened none other than the “PURA Vision.” Imagine an electric Luxury Utility Vehicle (e-LUV) that encapsulates the aura of an SUV, and marries it with the sleek elegance of a low-slung sports car.
Drawing inspiration from Pininfarina’s celebrated PURA design philosophy, the PURA Vision reverberates the echoes of its lineage through classic proportions and meticulous detailing. Its form embodies sculptural elegance, boasting a gracefully low hood and proud, high fenders, an ode to the iconic 1947 Cisitalia 202 GT, which carved its name in history as the very first car to grace MoMA’s hallowed collection in 1972. Yet, this creation pays homage to its storied heritage while casting an alluring glance into the uncharted territories of future automotive design.
Draped in an understated yet captivating Bianco Sestriere Gloss finish, the car’s presence is amplified by the contrast of exposed carbon fiber bumpers and glossy black accents adorning the roof. In a symphony of design, hidden headlights, 23-inch alloy wheels crowned with tire stripes, and the prestigious PURA Vision emblem take their places, harmonizing with an anodized aluminum beltline and a dance of other exterior “jewelry.” It’s a symphony of style; even the traditional door mirrors have given way to innovative rear-facing cameras.
A panoramic glass roof crowns the car, infusing the cabin with an ethereal luminosity and creating an ambiance of boundless space. Tri-opening pillarless doors and single-piece side windows, defying gravity, imbue the experience with an awe-inspiring touch.
Peer into the inner sanctum, and you will discover an interior inspired by the grace of sailing yachts. The front seats, seemingly suspended like a foiling yacht above the sea, impart a sensation of weightlessness. The central console adds an artistic dimension to the design. While the seats shimmer in a pristine white, charcoal leather cascades over the dashboard and door summits, striking a perfect contrast. Much like the exterior, touches of carbon fiber and anodized aluminum adorn the cabin, embracing a harmonious fusion of opulence and innovation.
Embarking on the journey of innovation, the PURA Vision offers an array of technological marvels. A central touchscreen awaits your command, seamlessly blending utility and aesthetics. The head-up display, a canvas of personalization for the discerning driver, marries convenience with style. Individual headrest speakers allow every passenger to orchestrate their auditory haven, embracing an individual symphony of sound.
While Pininfarina maintains an enigmatic silence concerning the specifics of the electric powertrain, it’s a minor detail in the grand tapestry. The PURA Vision beckons you to experience its enchantment firsthand, gracing the stages of Monterey Car Week from August 17 to 20, sharing the limelight with the illustrious Battista hyper GT and an intriguing new production marvel at the Quail event on August 18.
