Abandoned Pininfarina factory with beautiful Italian beauties inside.

Fábrica da Pininfarina abandonada com beldades italianas dentro

Forgotten, abandoned, and vandalized, the former Pininfarina factory in the San Giorgio region of Italy is a desolate image of the complex where the Ferrari Testarossa was once built.

Inaugurated in 1986 with General Motors for the production of the Allanté car bodies, the stylish roadster that arrived in the North American market from Italy on three Boeing 747 planes exclusively adapted for the transport of these vehicles, this Pininfarina factory also produced the Peugeot 406 Coupé and, more recently, the Alfa Romeo Brera and Spider. 

In 2011, the assembly lines were permanently closed, and the facilities were abandoned with some cars and equipment still inside. Pininfarina did not survive the financial crisis that hit the global economy in 2008, making the production of limited series cars a more difficult business, while the acquisition of the Italian company by Mahindra in 2015 does not seem to have helped change the course that was destined.

In a video published on Youtube, it is still possible to see several abandoned test units of the Alfa Romeo Brera. Some still had the camouflage used during the development phase. Despite being abandoned for 12 years, the factory still retains almost intact assembly lines and various robots, as well as diagrams showing how the Brera was assembled.

However, the offices have been vandalized, and all the copper from the buildings seems to have disappeared. And the test track is partially covered by vegetation.
