AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY STAGED IN GENEVA
We met him to talk about this new adventure on four wheels at the presentation of Pirelli Connesso and of the Pirelli coloured tyre range at the Motor Show.
Emerson, your motorsport expertise is sure to add to the road driving experience of whoever chooses the EF7. What drove you to this partnership with Pininfarina?
“My love for racing and motorsports. Cars are my life: I will be with dealing with cars until the day I die”.
Pirelli launched a range of coloured tyres. What do you think about customising cars?
“Car lovers love customising their cars, it is a must. The new EF7 offers owners the opportunity to create their own unique experience, putting their own heart and soul in their car”.
What do you think about the Pirelli Connesso system?
“Pirelli is the history of tyres, of cars and of motorsports. It has always been linked to performance, cars and races. All this has always been the Pirelli world”.
