Aehra, Filippo Perini: “Passione elettrica e design anni ’70”
È stata presentata ufficialmente a Milano la prima vettura della startup tutta italiana Aehra, che si lancia sul mercato premium con un modello totalmente elettrico nato per offrire un cambiamento radicale nella produzione di veicoli alla spina di alta gamma. Un concentrato di leggerezza e aerodinamica, innovazione e design, tecnologia e sostenibilità, bellezza e funzionalità. Ne abbiamo parlato con Filippo Perini, Chief Design Officer di Aehra.
"Nella mia carriera sono stato molto fortunato – racconta Filippo Perini – perché ho avuto la possibilità di lavorare per marche prestigiose potendo soddisfare anche i sogni del bambino che ero quando disegnavo auto. Sempre auto. Recentemente ho avuto l'opportunità di lavorare per Aehra, una start up. Il team è talmente piccolo che si può dire che siamo l'azienda. Ed è una sfida, perchè partiamo per la prima volta dal foglio bianco e possiamo vestire un oggetto che speriamo sarà iconico, riconoscibile e che sfrutti la modernità che è possibile ottenere da queste nuove motorizzazione elettriche".

Battista Farina is, without a doubt, one of Italy’s prized designers. After giving birth to the legendary Carrozzeria Pininfarina coachbuilding company in , he and his colleagues went on to create new, postwar platforms that would catapult them into prominence. In , he would be contracted by Ferrari to pen some of their most iconic designs, including the , the Dino Berlinetta Speciale, and, perhaps his greatest work, the Testarossa. After completing his last design for Alfa Romeo (the Duetto, which appeared at the Geneva Motor Show in ), he passed away less than a month later. Despite his departure, Pininfarina remains one of the most prestigious coachbuilding firms around — likely due to Farina’s exceptional principles.
Marcello Gandini is another of Italy’s revered designers, known primarily for his work with the iconic automotive design firm, Gruppo Bertone. He was credited with the creation of two of Lamborghini’s most sought-after vehicles, the early Miura, and the legendary Countach supercars — both of which would catapult him into the limelight as one of the premier designers of his era. Throughout his career, he would pen designs for a menagerie of notable

The creator of the Aventador talks Italian design, engineering, dreams and what it means to be a Lambo employee
by Josh Rubin and Evan Orensten
Italian auto manufacturer Lamborghini has been producing cutting-edge luxury sports cars for 50 years. Through financial tumult and the hands of many owners, Lamborghini has managed to sustain a reputation for top-tier design. Purchased by Audi in (itself a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group), the brand has attained the stability and resources to produce some of the most striking automobiles in the world.
Lamborghini cemented their iconic status premiering the Venovo concept car celebrating the brand&#;s 50th anniversary at Monterey Car Week this year. The concept was certainly a statement piece. As fans of the Aventador, we jumped on the opportunity to chat with Filippo Perini, Lamborghini&#;s head of design, when we learned he would be at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering show.
The Aventador, a speedster that first debuted in , put Perini on the map. Featuring a hexagonal design language the personality of the car changes radically with a simple paint j
Filippo Perini on Genesis and the Globalization of Automotive Expertise
From Italy to Seoul.
Change is inevitable, and the proof is incontrovertible. Several of Europe’s top car designers have been recruited by a marque that is not European in the least—or perhaps, through its people, has over time become more influenced by European expertise than many realize.
Genesis was established four years ago as a luxury arm of South Korea-based Hyundai Motor Group. And its most recent European talent acquisition is none other than Filippo Perini, whose influence has been infused in such iconic designs as the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, Lamborghini Aventador, and Lamborghini Urus. He joined Genesis in September , enticed by the opportunity to re-establish a working relationship with a former colleague: the famed Belgian designer who today is Hyundai Motor Group’s chief design officer, Luc Donckerwolke.
Perini’s upbringing, in Piacenza and the nearby town of Bobbio in the northwest of Italy’s Motor Valley, was steeped in European car culture. Ferrari, Pagani, Lamborghini, and Maserati are among the famed marques with origins here, and Perini vividly recalls how cars from these brand
