The Pininfarina Wikipedia Page

I do a fair amount of editing Ferrari-related articles on wikipedia. I haven't worked on the Pininfarina article but I just reviewed the lists you mention. The first list is "A sortable list of complete cars or car bodies manufactured in one of the five Pininfarina factories". You mention the Mondial doesn't appear on this list. My understanding is that the Mondial was manufactured by Scaglietti, therefore it shouldn't appear on this list. The Mondial does appear under the list, "Production cars designed by Pininfarina", which also seems correct. So the distinction driving the difference in inclusion between these two lists is design vs production; the Mondial was designed by Pininfarina but was not built by them.

 

we have a F430 spider it was designed or styled by Pininfarina or was it the brilliant Frank Stephenson ? can't find the specifics ! Anyone know of source ?
thx ! Jan

 

Yes!, an interesting side note.

The 456 has the Pinifarnian badging (with the "F" logo) because they built the body along with the design.

After the refresh, 456M, the badge was changed to Design by Pininfarina since the production was moved to Ferrari.

 

I believe both. Mr. Stephenson was employed by Pininfarina and was tasked to refresh the 360.
Here is a great video of him talking about it.
