The Automobili Pininfarina Battista is the first car built under the Pininfarina name rather than merely styled by the famed Italian design house, and it arrives as a pure-electric hyper GT limited to 150 units. Built in Cambiano, Italy on a carbon-fiber monocoque with an EV architecture shared with the Rimac Nevera, the Battista uses four electric motors, one per wheel, fed by a 120 kWh T-shaped battery. Combined output is 1,900 PS (about 1,877 horsepower) and 2,340 Nm (1,726 lb-ft) of torque, delivered through true torque vectoring at all four wheels. The result is 0-60 mph in 1.79 seconds, 0-186 mph in under 12 seconds, and a top speed of 217 mph, with up to 476 km (around 300 miles) of WLTP range. The design is classic Pininfarina: a low, sculpted body with a full-width rear light blade and butterfly doors, honoring company founder Battista 'Pinin' Farina. Inside, a driver-focused cockpit pairs two angled displays flanking the steering wheel with sustainable leather and aluminum detailing, and each car is individually specified through the Automobili Pininfarina atelier. Pricing starts around $2.2 million before personalization. Special versions include the Anniversario and the US-focused Targamerica. The Battista competes directly with the Rimac Nevera and Lotus Evija at the summit of the electric hypercar segment.

The Battista is the car that finally lets Pininfarina prove it can build, not just style. Sharing its carbon monocoque and quad-motor EV architecture with the Rimac Nevera, it delivers a claimed 1,877 horsepower, a 1.79-second 0-60 mph run, and a 217 mph top speed, numbers that put it at the absolute summit of the electric hypercar class alongside the Nevera and Lotus Evija. What separates the Battista from its Croatian sibling is intent: Pininfarina has tuned the character toward grand-touring elegance rather than outright track ferocity, wrapping the mechanicals in a low, sculpted body with butterfly doors and a full-width light blade that reads as unmistakably Italian. Torque vectoring across all four wheels tames what should be an unmanageable amount of power, and roughly 300 miles of WLTP range makes it more usable day-to-day than most hypercars twice its age. The cockpit, with sustainable leather and dual angled displays, feels genuinely bespoke rather than gimmicky. At $2.2 million and limited to 150 units, this is a car for collectors chasing the intersection of design pedigree and EV performance supremacy, not daily transportation, and on those terms it delivers convincingly.
