By CARSIFU | 5 August 2021


TORINO: Automobili Pininfarina is taking the most significant step yet in delivering its pioneering pure-electric Battista hyper GT, with the first production-spec example making its debut on Californian roads as part of a series of exciting experiences organised for its clients during the Aug 12-15 Monterey Car Week.

The finished Battista features distinctive black exposed signature carbon fibre bodywork and black gloss precision polished Impulso rims.

Inside, the first production-spec model to emerge from the Cambiano atelier facility in Italy, features black sustainable luxury leather with Iconica Blu contrast stitching and quilted Pilota seats in Iconica Blu Alcantara. The seats feature Pilota Carbon Components finished in black exposed signature carbon coordinating with the striking exterior.

The 1,900hp electric hyper GT is the fastest and most powerful Italian sports car ever made.

Bespoke chassis settings will ensure the Battista hyper GT delivers a unique dynamic experience that can be tailored to suit every journey and the pure-electric model will accelerate from 0-100kph in sub-two seconds – faster than a current Formula 1 car.

No more than 150 Battista hyper GTs will be created for clients worldwide. North America and Europe will account for the majority of sales, followed by the Middle East and Asia.

The exclusive hyper GT is priced from US$2.2m and is available to order through a global network of specialist retailers. The Battista battery is available with up to 10 years of manufacturer warranty.

Monterey Car Week will also see the US premiere of the exclusive , itself a tribute to the life and work of design icon Battista "Pinin" Farina. Limited to just five vehicles worldwide, it represents the pinnacle of Automobili Pininfarina’s Pura design philosophy, with aerodynamic enhancements and tailored detailing providing a uniquely dynamic personality.

As part of an extensive programme prepared for Automobili Pininfarina’s clients in North America, the exclusive hyper GT will be joined at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance by a fleet of iconic Pininfarina-designed vehicles to celebrate more than 90 years of design excellence.

“The premiere of the first production-specification Battista in the US marks the beginning of another significant chapter in the Automobili Pininfarina story. We look forward to our clients in the US experiencing the immense dynamic performance and personalised luxury of Battista for the first time,” said Automobili Pininfarina CEO Per Svantesson.
