That's because it was one of Leonardo Fioravanti's.
A lot of these designs were completed under Sergio's control of the company, but weren't actually his. The Dino, for example, was by Aldo Bravarone, Paolo Martin did the Fiat 130 Coupe among others, and Leonardo Fioravanti shaped most Ferraris from the Daytona to the 288 GTO, and penned the Alfa Romeo 164 before he left to set up shop on his own.
That doesn't detract from Pininfarina's own work for one minute - and he had the final say-so over all these designs - but a lot of those designs weren't just his idea.
Ah, OK. Thanks for the clarity. A lot of these designs were completed under Sergio's control of the company, but weren't actually his.
