Carrozzeria Pininfarina is an automobile coachbuilder and specialty vehicle maker in Turin, Italy. Founded by famed designer, Battista Pininfarina, the company is today run by his son, Sergio, and long-time CEO, Renzo Carli. Many other designers have worked with the company, which has become the most famous design and concept car constructor of the present time.

Pininfarina has been employed by many major car makers, especially Ferrari, Maserati Cadillac, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Volvo and Lancia. The recent Peugeot 406 coupé was also styled by Pininfarina.
