Giuliano Silli: Carrozzeria Allemano Torino

The most exhaustive text regarding a little known Turin coachbuilder: Serafino Allemano.
After more than two years of research, between archives and – unfortunately – very few testimonies, Giuliano Silli with this book, has been able in showing a story of a man, whose life was silently marked by his working times: activities that allowed him to gain space between the big names in the history of Motoring. The story of Allemano in the first fifteen / twenty years  immediately after the Second World War, when the most established names of the moment, such as Pininfarina or Bertone, were the spearhead of Italian Carrozzeria. Thanks to the collaboration with Giovanni Michelotti and an executive quality of other times, Carrozzeria Allemano managed to secure a leading position in the history of Italian Style; prestigious atelier from which cars such as the Coupé FIAT 1100 TV, the Maserati 5000 GT, all the Abarth touring cars of the early Sixties were released.

They are just some of the many examples of the great esteem obtained by the most prestigious national and international car manufacturers, one of which, the Japanese Prince, allowed Allemano to achieve a record: having opened new opportunities for Italian creativity in the land of the Rising Sun.

Turin, January 6, 2025 – At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Aptera Motors has revealed its “production-intent” solar electric vehicle, developed in collaboration with Pininfarina’s expertise in aerodynamics. This groundbreaking partnership promises to redefine the future of sustainable mobility, harnessing solar energy to virtually eliminate the need for traditional recharging.

The vehicle represents a major leap forward in energy-efficient transportation. Equipped with 700 watts of integrated solar cells, it allows most users to meet their daily driving needs without ever plugging in, offering up to 40 miles of solar-powered driving per day and an impressive 400-mile range on a single charge.

Cutting-Edge Design Driven by Pininfarina Collaboration

To optimize aerodynamics and maximize efficiency, Aptera partnered with Pininfarina, a global leader in automotive design and aerodynamics. Leveraging the renowned Pininfarina Wind Tunnel in Grugliasco (Turin), the project achieved one of the lowest drag coefficients ever recorded for a production passenger vehicle.

“Aptera has truly pushed the boundaries of what is possible in vehicle design and efficiency,” said Giuseppe Bonollo, SVP Business Unit Mobility at Pininfarina. “Aerodynamics have always been a cornerstone of our design philosophy, and it’s been thrilling to contribute to such an innovative project.”

Alessandro Aquili, Head of Pininfarina’s Wind Tunnel, echoed this sentiment: “Aptera’s commitment to innovation mirrors our own. The future of mobility lies in sustainable solutions, and we’re excited to support their journey toward production.”

A Vehicle Redefining the Future of Mobility

The unveiling at CES 2025 marks the public debut of Aptera’s production-ready vehicle, offering attendees a unique opportunity to experience this revolutionary technology firsthand. Located at booth CP-517 in the Central Plaza of the Las Vegas Convention Center, Aptera will showcase a vehicle poised to transform personal transportation.

Developed to meet the needs of an increasingly sustainability-focused world, Aptera’s innovative design combines advanced aerodynamics, lightweight engineering, and self-powering capabilities. The company has positioned itself as a pioneer in a transportation industry that is shifting towards solar-powered solutions.

“Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to deliver transportation powered directly by the sun,” said a spokesperson for Aptera. “With the support of Pininfarina, we’re able to offer a product that not only protects the environment but also redefines efficiency and design in modern mobility.”

A Sustainable Future Powered by the Sun

The collaboration between Aptera and Pininfarina is a testament to how technological expertise and design innovation can produce groundbreaking mobility solutions. At CES 2025, this partnership demonstrates that a solar-powered future is not just possible but already within reach.
