MUNICH: Automobili Pininfarina has revealed "Suono Puro" – the sound concept created for the Battista EV.
Aural sensations for the company's electric hyper GT have been created to align with the car's design, which it hopes would appeal to future owners.
The soundtracks came about after over 2,000 hours of composition, development and fine-tuning by vehicle and sound designers and engineers.
Pininfarina said Suono Puro comprised "well-being qualities" associated with the 432 Hz frequency. It likened the sounds to the positive emotional effect of Tibetan singing bowls and was used by classical music composers such as Mozart or Verdi.
At idle speed, the Battista's sound frequency is 54 Hz (down three octaves from 432 Hz). It claimed the effect of this frequency on the human body, which is on average made of 70 percent water, contributes to a sense of wellbeing.
"Our sound designers and engineers have crafted a unique, organic EV sound experience, something special and authentic for people experiencing the vehicle," said Pininfarina chief product and engineering officer Paolo Dellacha.
"It is a signature for Battista and the Automobili Pininfarina brand that is as recognisable, pure and individual as its design."
Customer deliveries of the car will start later this year.
