GENEVA MOTOR SHOW: Pininfarina Fittipaldi EF7 teased again
F1 legend’s limited-run supercar to get 440kW V8 and weigh less than 1000kgPininfarina has teased yet another image of the car it has created in partnership with the former Formula 1 champion and Indy 500 winner, Emerson Fittipaldi.
The Fittipaldi EF7 vision Gran Turismo has been designed for wealthy track day enthusiasts, say its creators, and is said to come with a naturally-aspirated V8 engine that will produce more than 440kW.
From the two pictures released, it’s clear the EF7 Vision will feature advanced aerodynamics that have been derived from motorsport.
According to the Italian design house, the new supercar will also weigh in at less than 1000kg.
It’s thought the weight-savings will come from basing the track-ready racer-for-the-road on a carbon-fibre monocoque.
Fittipaldi claims his EF7 will be far more cost-effective to drive hard on the track compared to other more mainstream supercars.
“Owner-drivers can expect reliability, lower maintenance cost and minimal mechanic and tech teams - which means more time and elation on the track”, said the two-time Indy winner.
Announcing that the EF7 will be produced as part of a small production run, it’s not known how much the track-ready supercar will cost.
What has been confirmed is the car will be added virtually to the PlayStation’s Gran Turismo video game.
More will be revealed following its official unveiling at the Geneva motor show in March 7.
