01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Karma GT designed by Pininfarina respects the Revero’s recognizable proportions, but its exterior is drastically different. Most notably, this is a two-door coupe, which required Pininfarina to design and build new body sides from the ground up. The car expresses its unique personality through choice modifications made by Pininfarina. Surface language is simplified, with relaxed shoulders and a softer feature line, and the Karma GT designed by Pininfarina has flush door handles in order to keep body volumes as pure as possible. A tasteful contrasting black roof complements bone gray paint, and trim work is finished in either piano black or smoked gun metal gray. The Karma GT designed by Pininfarina’s front end is more aggressive, with a symmetrically slatted grille and squinty LED headlights. The outside corners of the front fascia kick upward to match the dramatically styled, cross-cutting rocker panels that ground the GT. A pair of boomerang-shaped LED taillights frame an elegant, powerful rear end. The Karma GT designed by Pininfarina’s seductive, sucked-in waistline looks best in plan view, but its proud stance is better appreciated from a crouch. White and off-white leathers blanket the bright, inviting interior, and elegant burgundy piping underlines the main shapes of the cabin and contrasts nicely with the creamy leather. The seats feature a new quilting scheme to emphasize the sensation of comfort. Bits of soft, velvet-like nubuck hide and satin aluminum trim create a modern atmosphere with a hint of old-world sophistication. Multi-tone stitching adds to the atmosphere of the carefully elevated interior, and a small, embossed Italian flag on the seat backrests is a playful reminder of the Karma GT designed by Pininfarina ‘s providence. The Karma GT by Pininfarina was exhibited at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Salon and was also nominated for the 2020 Compasso d’Oro prize.
