Pininfarina Battista Electric Hypercar to be Revealed at Geneva
The Pininfarina PF0 electric hypercar will be called Battista and will debut at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. It has been named after the founder of Carrozzeria Pininfarina – Battista Farina.
Recent teaser images of the Battista have given us a glimpse of its sleek exterior. The car will be powered by a Rimac-sourced all-electric powertrain with a peak output of 1900 hp and a massive 2300 Nm of torque. The company claims that the car will accelerate from 0-62 mph in under 2 seconds. That’s faster than a Formula 1 car! Top speed of the Battista will be in excess of 250 mph.
In terms of battery range, Pininfarina has said that it will do 300 miles on a single charge. Not bad for a car that is expected to give hypercars like the Bugatti Chiron and Koenigsegg Regera a run of their money.
Only 150 examples of the Pininfarina Battista will be built under the watchful eye of Paulo Pininfarina – the grandson of the founder and the chairman of the design house. Europe, US and the Middle-East will be allocated 50 cars each. The new electric hypercar will be available from late 2020 at an estimated price tag of $2-2.5 million.
