Paolo Pininfarina, Sergio Pininfarina's son and current chairman of Pininfarina, stated, "My father would also be proud of this concept model. This is because the model expresses the aesthetic values that were the origin of his ideas – clean lines, harmonious shapes, and balanced proportions. And he would also be happy that this is based on a Ferrari. Pininfarina's history is intertwined with Ferrari's, and together we have developed a definition of timeless beautiful cars. This 60-year history shows no signs of ending."
