When we think about legendary cars, we usually think about the brand.
Ferrari. Lamborghini. Alfa Romeo.
But many of the most beautiful cars in history were actually designed by independent design houses.
Studios like Pininfarina, Bertone, Zagato and Italdesign helped shape the look of countless sports cars.
In the early days of the car industry, manufacturers focused mainly on engineering and production.
Styling was often outsourced to these specialized studios. This led to some of the most iconic designs ever created. From elegant Ferrari grand tourers to radical Lamborghini concepts.
Today most manufacturers design cars in-house, but the influence of these design houses is still visible in automotive design.
They helped turn cars from machines into objects of art.
Question for you:
Which car do you think has the most beautiful design ever made?
And do you know which design house designed it? 🚗
