Designed in Italy, Engineered in China

"The soul of our designing is in Italy," said Silvio Petro Angori, CEO of Italian design house Pininfarina S.p.A. "We will do all styling in Italy – we will not do that in China."

Pininfarina has been working with Chinese automakers since 1996.

Land Rover unveils Discovery Vision Concept in New York
