  • Salon Privé hosts the debut of the super exclusive Automobili Pininfarina Battista Anniversario

    2021-Automobili-Pininfarina-Battista-Anniversario-910Salon Privé Week is an event that plays as a host for numerous debuts of new vehicles, from the world’s leading companies to some more obscure companies. At this year’s event, one of the most notable machines that were unveiled is the new Automobili Pininfarina Battista Anniversario.

    The all-electric Battista is by far the most powerful Italian street-legal car with its massive 1873bhp and acceleration rate of 12 seconds to reach 186mph.

    There are only 150 units produced and all of them come with a large range of exterior and interior specification options, so we will rarely see two vehicles that look the same. However, the worldwide production of the Anniversario models has been limited to merely five vehicles, all of which are already preordered.

    The Anniversario machines come in three signature colors – Bianco Sestriere, Iconica Blue, and Grigio Antonelliano, as well as Furiosa aerodynamic package with carbon fiber front splitter, side blades, and a rear diffuser for extra downforce and improved high-speed stability.

    Battista1

    A bespoke wall box designed by Pininfarina SpA and a new public-charging partnership will ensure owners of the Battista pure-electric hypercar are able to enjoy effortless charging at home and on the move.

    The exclusive Residenza home charger – designed with luxury sustainability in mind – will be available to Battista customers and brings an added element of personalisation to the ownership experience. The wall box design is inspired by the pure lines of the Battista, and features a painted cover finished in the same colour the owner has selected for their pure electric, Italian luxury hyper GT.

    Working with renowned electric vehicle infrastructure pioneer Green Motion, the Automobili Pininfarina badged 22kW AC wall box (up to 7.2kW in North America) is constructed using recycled and organic materials.

    The Residenza will be capable of fully charging the Battista’s 120 kWh Li-ion battery pack in six hours, making it perfect for overnight top-ups and providing the 500 km (310 miles) WLTP expected range, ensuring it is the ultimate everyday hyper GT for all occasions.

    For charging on the move, Automobili Pininfarina has announced a partnership with one of the world’s largest electric vehicle charging networks, ChargePoint. The collaboration will provide Battista customers with five years of unlimited public charging at no extra cost to ensure they are fully supported.

    Battista owners will have access to most of ChargePoint’s network of approximately 115,000 places to charge across North America and Europe as well as more than 133,000 charging spots through roaming integrations with other charging network providers. Using a 180kW DC-charging system, owners will be able to charge their Battista from 20% to 80% in just 25 minutes.

    Automobili Pininfarina Chief Product and Engineering Officer Paolo Dellacha said: “Our clients will love the thrill of Battista’s extreme electrified performance, yet they also need to enjoy living with this advanced technology. For that reason we have ensured there are a comprehensive number of public charging points available to them, made possible through our collaboration with ChargePoint.

    “At the same time, a large proportion of the Battista’s charging will be done at home and our exclusive wall box design provides owners with a bespoke solution, finished to their exact taste.”

    The Residenza wall box may be activated through a dedicated app, which allows owners to remotely schedule the charging of their Battista and monitor its charging status. The app also enables owners to view the charging history and is integrated with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for enhanced convenience.

    Access to remote charge points will be just as effortless, with drivers using the Battista keyfob or app to link to chargers in the ChargePoint network. The advanced fob will contain all of the necessary account information using a secure RFID chip, with no additional charging cards required.

    For customers in North America, the Residenza wall box features a tethered Type 1 cable (Mode 3) which includes an integrated cable management system which automatically gathers and rolls the lead into the box for added convenience. Owners in Europe will be supplied with a tethered Type 2 cable (coiled cable).

  • Automobili Pininfarina reveals a super-exclusive lineup of hypercars!

    2020 Automobili Pininfarina Battista AnniverarioAutomobili Pininfarina has unveiled its latest and most advanced vehicle, the pure-electric hyper GT, Battista Anniversario. Not only the vehicle is the first electric sportscar in the brand’s portfolio, but also it celebrates 90 years since Battista “Pinin” Farina created the famous Pininfarina coachbuilder and design house, and is the most powerful sports car ever.

    The vehicle is hand-crafted n Cambano, Turin, where Pninfarina has established its design center and headquarters. There will be only five units produced, making the lineup one of the most exclusive in the world.

    As expected, the vehicle delivers an added level of dynamic ability and a bespoke heritage-inspired anniversary livery. Each of the five vehicles is finished in a blend of three signature colors: Bianco Sestriere, the never-seen-before Grigio Antonelliano, and Automobilli Pininfarina’s signature Iconica Blu. Also, Battista Anniversario is equipped with the “Furiosa” package, comprised of a carbon-fiber front splitter, side blades and a rear diffuser. Exclusively on this particular lineup, the parts are finished in a two-tone blend of exposed signature carbon and carbon tinted in Iconica Blu with pinstripes in Bianco Sestriere.

    Anniversio’s dynamic performance rates were achieved thanks to the dramatic weight reduction, adding a set of forged aluminum wheels, and, as expected, a revised drivetrain system. This setup allows the vehicle to chase a top speed of 350km/h. Neat! The Anniversario shares some of the technical features with other Battista models. For example, there’s a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis and body that provide the strong foundation and backbone of the hyper GT, with its four electric motors that generate a total of 1,900hp and 2,300Nm of torque. This whooping power output results in pretty short sprints – the vehicle is capable of accelerating from 0 to 300km/h in less than 12 seconds!

  • Automobili Pininfarina reveals the name of the first electric hypercar!

    Automobili Pininfarina BattistaAutomobili Pininfarina announced details and most importantly, name of its first luxurious electric vehicle – Battista.

    Named after Battista “Pinin” Farina, the founder of Carrozzeria Pininfarina coachbuilding company, who founded the company back in 1930, the new hypercar is a hand-crafter and limited lineup of super-exclusive machines that are produced under the watchful eye of Paolo Pininfarina, Battista’s grandson and current Pininfarina SpA Chairman.

    Paolo Pininfarina, along with company’s CEO, Michael Perschke and Mahindra & Mahindra Group Chairman, Anand Mahindra, have decided that the limited-edition hypercar would bear founder’s name and would be the current most advanced and prominent vehicle in the whole lineup in the company, and it will also be the most powerful automobile that was ever designed and produced in Italy. Neat!

In fact, it will be faster than a F1 car and it is expected to break the 250mph barrier – all with zero emissions and a range of over 300 miles.

    Also, what we know so far, is that there will be no more than 150 Battistas available from late 2020 with a total price estimated between $2m and $2.5mUSD. At the moment, there are 50 machines allocated to the USA, 50 to the Middle East and Asia regions.
