The torch for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy was designed by Pininfarina, the same people who design many Ferraris. The form of the torch, which was also used in that year's torch relay, is a sleek modern design that combines the shape of a ski and a mountain peak. Unfortunately, weighing in at five pounds, the torch was heavily criticized for being far too heavy.
