The Pininfarina Aerodynamic and Aeroacoustic Research Center includes   the following main facilities:

Wind Tunnel

An automotive Wind Tunnel for aerodynamic and aeroacoustic tests on full-scale vehicles.

Ground Effect Simulation System

Simulation of ground motion under a car and the wheels rotation.

Turbulence Generation System

The 5 Turbulence Generators (TGS) are designed to produce a flow of controlled turbulence.

Acoustic Wind Tunnel

It was built in 1996 with the aim of carrying out tests on materials and components in a condition of low background noise.

Computer Center

post-processing of complex experimental measurements.

Image Processing Laboratory

In order to guarantee wind tunnel users the highest level of confidentiality for their tests.

Workshop

Provides assistance to wind tunnel users

Reserved Areas

three independent and separated boxes in order to guarantee wind tunnel users
