The quesion is, with Pininfarina being just a styling house, who has commisioned them.
Looking at the shape of the car and some of the lines, i reckon this could be BMW.

I personally despise asymetrical cars. And the 2 + 1 door design just makes me think of the Hyundai Veloster. But each to their own. The rear end does look quite BMW-esque.

Looking at the shape of the car and some of the lines, i reckon this could be BMW. A previous article said it was an in house affair, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the company's Styling Centre, and the 10th anniversary of its Engineering Centre. I don't know who else is working on a micro gas turbine/electric car - that might give some clues as to backers. As for the 3 door/asymmetric layout - that might easily go if it was built (can't imagine the costs that would incur for a limited production model). I do like the overall shape.

Reminds me of a sixties/seventies US muscle car for some reason.
Er, didn't Pininfarina go bust a few weeks back? Or did they just close a factory or two? some of the styling cues resemble the chevy camaro. I thought that about pininfarina too.
