Introducing the Future of Electric SUVs: The PURA Vision by Pininfarina

New EV - In the realm of electric vehicles, the consensus is clear: sleek, futuristic design is paramount. Embodying this sentiment is the PURA Vision car design concept by Automobili Pininfarina, a name synonymous with automotive elegance and innovation.

A striking element that immediately captures attention is the vehicle's 23-inch white-rimmed wheels. Complementing this are the distinctive door hinges—a forward-hinged front door and a reverse-hinged rear door, colloquially known as "suicide doors." A truly novel touch is the roof's gullwing-style opening mechanism, infusing a sense of avant-garde charm.

Thanks to the absence of a central B-pillar, a partition typically between front and rear doors, passengers in the back can disembark seamlessly, unencumbered by any impediments. Exiting the vehicle becomes a hassle-free experience, void of concerns about colliding with open doors.

The genesis of this concept traces back to the Pininfarina Battista, a peerless supercar crafted by Automobili Pininfarina. Boasting an awe-inspiring 1,877 horsepower, this supercar serves as the foundation for the PURA Vision's evolution. Envision a scenario in which the e-LUV inherits such prowess—a prospect that could render it not only capable of towing the Boston Whaler but also a formidable companion for water-based vacations and spirited outdoor endeavors.

In summary, the PURA Vision encapsulates Pininfarina's quest to redefine the electric SUV landscape. With its bold design, ingenious features, and potential powerhouse performance, this concept car teases an electrifying future that amalgamates elegance with sustainable driving. As we eagerly await more detailed revelations, one thing is certain: the e-LUV has cast a spell on both the automotive world and our imaginations alike. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOMOBILI-PININFARINA | CARANDDRIVER | TOPGEAR | CARSCOOPS | NETCARSHOW ]
