The design edition will make its dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it will be piloted up the famous hill by former F1 star and hillclimb record holder, Nick Heidfeld.
Following the success of the limited-edition Battista Anniversario, the latest model represents the fascinating story of F1 racing legend Nino Farina, the first ever F1 World Champion and nephew of design icon Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina.
Fittingly, it will make its dynamic debut just a few hundred metres from the Goodwood Circuit, where Nino drove to victory in the 1951 Goodwood Trophy (a non-championship F1 race).
With just five examples to be crafted for clients worldwide, bespoke features adorning the exterior and interior of the Battista Edizione Nino Farina pay tribute to the racing legend born in Torino.
Each car in the series celebrates one of five milestones in Nino Farina’s incredible racing career, ensuring each collector will own a one-of-a-kind Italian design masterpiece.
Paolo Dellachà, CEO for Automobili Pininfarina, said: “The Battista Edizione Nino Farina pays an evocative tribute to an undisputed legend of the Pininfarina family and its heritage. An untold story about the spirit and the courage of a man driven by a racing passion like no other."
Like the Battista and Battista Anniversario, the Edizione Nino Farina is powered by a powertrain that delivers record-breaking performance.
The world’s first pure-electric hyper GT utilises a high-capacity 120 kWh lithium-ion battery contained within a strong but lightweight carbon fibre housing.
Four independent high-performance electric motors – one driving each wheel – combine with Full Torque Vectoring, Electronic Stability Control and a software differential that allows drivers to tailor the power delivery and handling responses like never before, while its T-shaped liquid-cooled battery pack is mounted centrally behind the seats to ensure a low centre of gravity.
The Battista’s unique launch control technology contributes to Formula One car-beating acceleration, with 0-100km/h completed in 1.86s, and 0-200km/h covered in just 4.75 seconds.
A car as fast as Battista demands strong stopping power and official tests confirm Battista is the fastest braking EV in the world, completing 100-0 km/h in just 31m.
Battista performance data highlights:
1,900 hp (1,400 kW)
2,340 Nm of torque
0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 1.86 seconds and 350 km/h (217 mph) top speed
Up to 476 km driving range (296 miles, WLTP combined), US EPA: 300 miles
The Battista combines hypercar performance with the cruising range and luxurious cabin of a traditional GT, with all-wheel drive and a choice of five driving modes to tailor the driving dynamics: Calma, Pura, Energica, Furiosa and Carattere.
The Battista Edizione Nino Farina’s interior features a bespoke two-tone theme, with a driver’s seat upholstery trimmed in black sustainable luxury leather and passenger seat in contrasting beige and black Alcantara.
The Pilota seats feature a unique design between the driver and passenger, both with a bespoke quilting pattern and ‘Nino Farina’ on the backrest.
On the black driver’s seat, the bespoke headrest features an embroidered laurel wreath and ‘01’ graphic in gold, while the Pininfarina logo is finished in red on the beige passenger seat.
The backs of both seats are painted in Rosso Nino, matching the exterior bodywork.
Following the exterior theme, the upholstery is accentuated with Iconica Blu seatbelts, with a bespoke duotone contrast stitch in beige and red on the centre tunnel, dashboard and seats.
The steering wheel is finished in black Alcantara with Exposed Carbon, with a contrasting 12 o’clock ring in brushed aluminium anodised in red.
The attention to detail extends to the steering wheel plate, which is finished in brushed aluminium, anodised black, bearing the ‘Nino Farina’ signature.
Like the exterior, dark detailing extends to the interior with the Interior Jewellery Pack in brushed aluminium, anodised in black.
Beautiful detailing specific to the Edizione Nino Farina is found throughout the interior. The chassis plate is black anodised with bespoke ‘Nino Farina’ dedication, while the passenger door plate is unique to each vehicle.
