The Pininfarina Battista may be defined as an electric hypercar—but it is far more than that. To begin with, it stands as a fitting tribute to the company’s founder, Battista “Pinin” Farina, whose nickname stemmed from being the tenth of eleven children in the Farina family. “Pinin” translates to “the little one” or “the youngest.”
Then there is the design—nothing short of a masterclass in automotive artistry, as one would expect from a legendary Italian design house. But beyond its breathtaking aesthetics lies the true heart of the machine: a powertrain developed by Croatia’s Rimac. Much like the Rimac Nevera (formerly C_Two), the Battista features four electric motors producing a combined 1,903 horsepower and 2,340 Nm of torque. Performance is staggering—0 to 100 km/h in just 2 seconds, and 0 to 300 km/h in 12 seconds.
With figures like these, achieving the claimed 450 km range is more theoretical than practical, and even the 349 km/h top speed invites real-world scrutiny.
Production is strictly limited to just 150 units, with prices starting at $2.2 million—placing the Battista firmly in the realm of ultra-exclusive, collector-grade hypercars.
