Italian car design firm Pininfarina, whose 76.06 per cent stake was acquired by Mahindra Group, has joined hands with RM Sotheby’s to auction a unique NFT collection from May 24-26, 2022. These NFTs are inspired by actual design drawings of the Pininfarina Modulo, a bold looking car from the 1970s, whose concept was far ahead of its time.
According to the company, there will be five Modulo NFTs, each designed to amalgamate art with experience, and provide buyers with exclusive benefits. “The NFTs are called Modulo 70, 80, 90, 00, and 10, in respect with their corresponding decades,” reads Sotheby’s press release.
These NFTs will cover the five decades since the creation of the Modulo, and will contain a unique video animation of the car along with soundtracks that represent each era of the Modulo heritage.
Anand Mahindra, chairman of the Mahindra Group, took to Twitter to announce the NFT collection. “Through an online auction by Sotheby’s, 24-26 May @PininfarinaSpA will offer the 1st ever Pininfarina NFT Collection dedicated to the Modulo. The 2nd automotive NFT offering in the @MahindraRise group of companies. We like to stay ahead of the curve…” his Tweet read.
