The combination of a 9kg hydrogen tank and a 10kWh battery gives the Enigma GT a hypothetical range of more than 435 miles.
The powertrain isn’t the only area designed with a focus on weight reduction: the chassis is a carbonfibre monocoque covered with carbon panels. In total, Pininfarina claims the Enigma GT weighs 1690kg.
Meanwhile, the slippery design has a focus on aerodynamics: the styling is dominated by the large ‘canopy’ bubble that encloses the passenger areas. To access it is lifted from the rear hinge, in what Pininfarina says is a nod to past concept cars it developed including the Ferrari 512S Berlinetta Speciale and the Abarth 2000 Coupe Pininfarina.
The Enigma GT also features air-sculpted front wings with active grill shutters, active front wheel deflectors, an active aero-tail and active base bleeding elements that work to minimise drag at all times. Pininfarina claims a drag coefficient of 0.24, claiming that, with the car’s small area, this is at the “cutting edge” of the segment.
As a result, Pininfarina quotes a 0-62mph time of less than four seconds and a limited top speed of 155mph.
The interior also showcases new design trends. Pininfarina says it is intended to offer “a grand touring experience akin to flying”, with an aeronautically inspired dashboard and the use of a host of sustainable materials. Both to save weight and showcase technology, elements of the hydrogen powertrain are visibile from within the car.
