AW: How many design projects does Pininfarina have on its plate right now?

Okuyama: I actually counted them just yesterday. There are 53 automotive design projects in progress right now-and only three are for Ferrari.

AW: Is it true you designed the final version of the Enzo in 15 minutes during a lunch break?

Okuyama: Obviously, the job had been going on for about a year, but without a final design freeze. One day after debate and input, I sat down and drew up the one that was selected. That sketch took basically 15 minutes.

AW: Is the 2005 Geneva Maserati Birdcage concept a potential future product?

Okuyama: Many show cars or concept cars these days are so close to the production version. It's taking away a bit of the charm of the auto design industry. So this car is quite far from production state, but the design itself is very complete. It's like a 1970s dream car.
