Italian design house Pininfarina has confirmed that it will reveal a new car at the Geneva Motor Show this March. The iconic firm has released a single teaser image revealing what appears to be the new car’s nose.

Pininfarina has refrained from providing any specific details but in an official release, it describes the car as an “innovative stylistic and technological jewel”.

Looking at the aerodynamic design of the nose, it seems likely that it’ll be a performance model, and recent history suggests it could also be a special one-off model commissioned by a private buyer.

Pininfarina’s recent work includes the curvaceous Ferarri 458-based Sergio Pininfarina, and the V12-engined BMW Grand Lusso Coupe concept.

India’s Mahindra Group, which bought a controlling stake in Pininfarina last year, has announced it intends to reduce the Italian firm’s 52 million euro (Rs 397 crore) debt, and this new model will be the first under the new ownership.

Pininfarina will pull the covers off its new design at the Geneva Motor Show on March 1.
