Battista

By Doug Clayton, EVGrok Staff Writer

The Pininfarina Battista represents the pinnacle of electric hypercar engineering, blending the rich design heritage of Pininfarina with state-of-the-art electric technology. Named after Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina, the founder of the legendary Italian design house, the Battista marks the first vehicle under Automobili Pininfarina's own badge. This hypercar is designed for performance enthusiasts who seek both extreme speed and a commitment to sustainability. With its stunning, aerodynamically optimized exterior and luxurious, driver-focused interior, the Battista delivers an unforgettable experience on both road and track.

The Battista is powered by a quad-motor setup, with one motor at each wheel, producing a mind-blowing 1,900 horsepower and 1,696 lb-ft of torque. This immense power allows the Battista to accelerate from 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds, making it one of the fastest production cars in existence. The vehicle’s top speed exceeds 217 mph, and despite its hypercar performance, the Battista offers a range of up to 300 miles on a single charge, thanks to its 120 kWh battery pack, sourced from Rimac. The Battista’s advanced torque vectoring system ensures precise handling, while its carbon fiber construction helps keep weight low, improving agility and overall performance.

Inside, the Battista is as luxurious as it is high-tech. The cabin is adorned with premium materials, including leather, carbon fiber, and aluminum, providing a bespoke driving environment. The dual touchscreen displays are angled toward the driver, offering control over the vehicle’s various driving modes and features. With its breathtaking performance, stunning design, and cutting-edge technology, the Pininfarina Battista is redefining what it means to drive a hypercar in the electric age, offering an experience that is both thrilling and sustainable.
