If you have a stunningly beautiful car in front of you, then chances are good that you are looking at a Pininfarina product. The modern Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and the classic Ferrari 250 from the 50s share the style created in this design studio. This company has hundreds of outstanding developments on its account, and not only expensive sports cars are among them. For example, the Peugeot 1007 and Hyundai Matrix are also her brainchild.
Giovanni Battista Farina, the founder of the body building and design company, nicknamed Pinin, was awarded the French Legion of Honor, became a knight of the Order of Labor of the Italian Republic and a member of the Royal Society of Arts in London as an "Honorary Royal Industrial Designer."

The cover of The New Yorker magazine dated December 21, 1968, shows three magi sailing on a boat and holding gifts.
Usually the Magi are traditionally depicted riding camels, this cover shows them on a boat, as if they took a “water route” to Bethlehem.
You can imagine that they thought, “Why not try something new this year?”

Let's remember how it was just one photo. The staff of the Hoshinoya Tokyo Hotel demonstrate an invention that allows you to dine in a restaurant without a mask. This is a bamboo lantern made by a historical manufactory from Kyoto Kojima Shoten and covering each guest with a film from the interlocutor.

Colin Chapman's name is usually remembered in connection with the formula successes of his Lotus Team racing team. But the sporting achievements of his cars are only the tip of the iceberg, the visible part of his achievements.
He was among the first to realize that heavy frame structures of cars, leaf springs and much more are a dead—end branch of development. He was the first to make a car with a monocoque body type — this is a load-bearing body in which the outer shell is the main element that accepts loads (all Formula 1 cars have monococks to this day).
He was the first to come up with the idea of putting the same MacPherson struts on the rear suspension as in front, and was also the main ideologist of reducing the weight of the car for the sake of speed, as well as "jewelry" chassis settings.
Although Lotus has always produced cars in small editions, its influence in the automotive industry is very great to this day: many manufacturers turn to Lotus to conduct finishing tests of their sports cars.

We are used to judging cars from the point of view of technology or design, but often the history of the automotive industry is written not by engineers and designers, but by managers. Among the cohort of iconic managers who influenced the entire course of automotive history, the place of honor is occupied by the Lido Anthony Iacocca, nicknamed Lee
From 1946 to 1978, he worked at Ford, rising from a simple engineer to president of the corporation. After being fired (not without scandalous circumstances), Lee continued his career as the head of Chrysler, which was then on the verge of bankruptcy
It is difficult to overestimate the achievements of Mr. Iacocchi in both companies: it was during the years of his reign that the Ford Mustang appeared, and thanks to him, Chrysler got out of debt.
The managerial talents of this manager have made him one of the world's top celebrities in the business world. His autobiographical works have become the reference books of entrepreneurs and top managers all over the world.

If you have nothing to do this weekend, take a cue from Salvador Dali, who mastered the technique of flying with a moustache. You can probably do something similar if you do it responsibly.
