Cambiano

Automobili Pininfarina's spiritual home is in Northern Italy. Our first hypercar, Battista, is hand-crafted in a dedicated assembly and crafting space at Pininfarina SpA in Cambiano, Italy. The company’s design, engineering and operational hub in Cambiano is the centre of all Automobili Pininfarina vehicle development programmes.

Cambiano, with its narrow, tree-lined side streets and ornate ecclesiastical architecture, is a quintessential northern Italian village. If you drive into Cambiano from Moncalieri and Trofarello in mid-summer, you will enjoy views of luxuriant green fields teeming with grape vines and Cuore di Bue, the Ox Heart tomatoes favoured by cooks across Italy and around the world. And if you take the time to enjoy the local cuisine, your senses will also be indulged by the most exquisite tastes and smells - of white truffles and ruby red Barolo wine from the local hillside vineyards. You will also sense the artisanal history of the region, for this is where some of the finest craftsmen in Italy's rich automotive industry plied their trade.

It was on the outskirts of Cambiano that Pininfarina S.p.A. established its Study Centre in 1982, which today has become home to our Automobili Pininfarina Battista Atelier space – the birthplace of dreams for our hyper-GT customers.

Munich

Munich is the corporate HQ for Automobili Pininfarina with Marketing & Sales, Communications, Retail and HR teams based in the Bavarian capital.

Electronics, SW, IT plus relevant members of the Supply Chain and Aftersales team are also based in Munich.
