Automobili Pininfarina put all its ingenuity at the disposal of the Battista model, a high-performance sports hypercar that managed to demonstrate that speed, strength and elegance do not go hand in hand only with combustion engines, since its mechanical section is 100% assembled. Electric to provide great benefits.

1,900 horsepower and a grotesque maximum torque of 2,300 Nm are part of the main power configuration displayed by the Pininfarina Battista, and this was revealed on the streets of California after the Italian brand revealed a video where this creation appears touring the north american highway

The manufacturer itself describes it as the world’s first 100% electrified hyper GT, and this may be true given its aggressive mechanical characteristics that combine with the aerodynamic configuration to perform at its best. Its chassis is assembled in carbon fiber to obtain the greatest possible lightness without losing reliability, flexibility and resistance at any time.

The Pininfarina Battista has a staggered design on its hood with the aim of cutting off the airflow and directing it strongly towards the rear where it will be channeled through the rear wing, a piece in charge of providing stability, strength and adhesion to the asphalt when the electric car develop high speeds.

Precisely, the Italian brand claims that the vehicle can reach 300 kilometers per hour in just 12 seconds with a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour supported by a battery that provides 120 kWh. Returning to the aerodynamic theme, the front made up of grilles and the pronounced line at the beginning of the hood provides elegance and segments the air to the sides and bottom.

This Automobili Pininfarina creation was seen on Californian soil in 2021 during the Pebble Beach Elegance Concours, where one of its particularities was the revelation of all the modifications that customers can make, since since the signing they confirmed that there are 13.9 quintillion of different combinations for the exterior of the vehicle, while for the internal part there are 128 million, reaching a milestone in terms of customization and design.

Finally, as it is a totally exclusive 100% electric vehicle (150 units will be manufactured), the Battista model is valued at 2.2 million dollars, a figure that could be higher if the interested client has modified or requested additional features.
