Pininfarina Sergio Concept Car 2013

Presented at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the Sergio Concept is a tribute to the design studio long-time President Sergio Pininfarina.

From a technical point of view, performance standards are as follows: 0-62 in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 199 miles per hour, courtesy of Ferrari's 570-horsepower 4.5-liter V8 engine.
