Morre Andrea Pininfarina, ícone indústria mundial

Chefe do estúdio de design que leva seu sobrenome, Andrea Pininfarina faleceu na manhã desta quinta-feira (7) em um acidente de trânsito em Turim, Itália. Segundo a imprensa local, o renomado designer se dirigia ao trabalho a bordo da sua scooter quando foi atingido por um automóvel vindo em direção contrária. O condutor do Ford Fiesta, um senhor de 78 anos, saiu ileso do acidente, diferentemente de Pininfarina que perdeu a vida. A falta de visibilidade provocada por uma obra na pista teria sido a causa do ocorrido, segundo a polícia.

Andrea Pininfaria ocupava os cargos de presidente e diretor-executivo da empresa, fundada pelo seu avô em 1930 e faleceu aos 51 anos deixando três filhos. Nascido em Turim, Itália, no dia 26 de julho de 1957, era considerado ícone da indústria automobilística mundial, criando modelos famosos como Ferrari Enzo, Maserati Quattroporte, e Ford Focus. Ingressou no negócio da família em 1983, que vinha passando por dificuldades financeiras há pouco tempo. Com a notícia da morte de Pininfarina, surgiram boatos sobre a venda das ações do estúdio para potenciais compradores, como o herdeiro da Ferrari e o CEO indiano Ratan Tata.
