Andrea Pininfarina killed
It seems his father is still there at the helm of the company.
Any children of the dynasty to carry on the work?

The company will carry on and the true designers will be staff. But we all know their style.

Andrea Pininfarina, head of a world-famous Italian car design group, has been killed in a road accident.
Mr Pininfarina was riding a scooter which was hit by a car on the outskirts of Turin early on Thursday. He was 51.
He was chief executive officer of the family firm Pininfarina, which has designed sports cars for Ferrari, Maserati, Volvo and Fiat.
He was the grandson of Battista Pininfarina, who founded the firm in Turin in 1930.
Andrea's father Sergio Pininfarina, 81, is the company's honorary chairman.
The family currently controls 55% of Pininfarina's shares, but under a restructuring plan it aims to cut its stake to about 30%.
The firm recorded a net loss of 114.9m euros (£91m; $178m) last year.
