The Cisitalia 202, designed by Pininfarina, is considered a true milestone in automotive design. Introduced in 1947, it was the first automobile to be recognized as a “work of art” and displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Its revolutionary styling, with rounded, flowing lines, marked the transition toward modern automotive design. Although based on relatively simple mechanical components, its aesthetic influence was immense. To this day, it is remembered as one of the most beautiful cars ever built.
