Automobili Pininfarina is collaborating with global icon Magnus Walker to fuse automotive heritage, precision craftsmanship, and bespoke design.
Both Automobili Pininfarina and Magnus Walker share an underlying belief that cars are dynamic works of art that are meant to be driven and will explore this passion together.
To launch this collaboration, Automobili Pininfarina’s Chief Design Officer, Dave Amantea, will join Magnus for an exclusive fireside chat on Saturday 29 March at his iconic Los Angeles garage. Together, they will discuss the intersection of art, engineering, and storytelling, moderated by veteran automotive personality, Jonny Lieberman. This recorded gathering will be held in front a select group of hypercar and design enthusiasts, as a venue to exchange ideas and share inspirations.
Automobili Pininfarina’s ethos is ‘Dream Cars. Made Real’ and this concept will be visualised in a short film as Magnus puts his own design on a one-off Battista hyper GT.
Magnus Walker, said: “Ever since I was a young boy it has been a dream of mine to design cars, so it was a real honor and pleasure to work with Dave and the team at Pininfarina to develop this car. It was the perfect blank canvas to express my artistic creativity and personality at this moment in time: I took inspiration from the ’70s and ’80s to create this color blocking and strobe effect and turn it into something signature, bespoke and unique that I believe will be distinctive and alluring for decades to come.”
Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, said:
“Magnus believes ‘You should build a car you love, not one others think you should’ and this perfectly aligns with Automobili Pininfarina’s own philosophy. We have unrivalled heritage as an Italian coachbuilder, creating bespoke, handcrafted pieces of automotive art that push at the boundaries of performance and design. Cars are more than just possessions but are living embodiments of their owner’s individuality and passion. Our collaboration with Magnus Walker is an exciting opportunity to show the world what this looks like through the eyes of a design icon.”
Following their fireside chat, Magnus and Dave will lift the covers on their work.
