Luxury Italian carmaker Automobili Pininfarina has confirmed the Battista hyper

GT's performance credentials by revealing its record-breaking official

acceleration and braking figures for the first time.

The pure-electric Battista's unique launch control technology contributes to

Formula 1 car-beating acceleration, with 0-60mph achieved in 1.79s, 0-100km/h

completed in 1.86s, 0-120mph executed in 4.49s and 0-200 km/h obliterated in

just 4.79 seconds. A car as fast as Battista demands strong stopping power and

official tests confirm Battista is the fastest braking EV in the world,

completing 100-0 km/h in just 31 metres.

The confirmed figures have been revealed as the Battista makes its dynamic

debut in the Middle East, showcasing its unrivalled dynamic capabilities on

track at the Dubai Autodrome in the United Arab Emirates. An exciting short

film showcasing Battista's unparalleled performance from 0-200km/h can be

Its dynamic debut in the UAE follows the Battista's introduction to Saudi

Arabia, with local retail partners in each country involved as part of the

regional activities.

Paolo Dellacha, Automobili Pininfarina Chief Product and Engineering Officer

said: "I am proud that our new electric hyper GT delivers on the promises we

made when we set out or development plan. In Battista, we have achieved

performance beyond our original, extreme targets.

"Perfectly optimized weight distribution and low centre of gravity are at the

heart of this result.  The combination of bespoke chassis and suspension

tuning, tyres proven over many thousands of test miles and four-motor torque

vectoring delivering unprecedented power enables Battista to be the fastest

accelerating road-legal car in the world.

"Battista's incredible technical package includes a carbon ceramic brake

system, helping the Italian hyper GT become the fastest braking electric car in

the world. Our discerning clients here in the UAE have been overwhelmed by the

Battista driving experience, which is as breathtaking as its award-winning

design."

The pure-electric Battista is the most powerful Italian car ever made with

1,900 hp and 2,340 Nm of torque. The hyper GT has a top speed of 350 km/h, a

WLTP range of up to 476 km and is priced from €2.2 million plus local taxes.

Battista's performance credentials were recorded and verified at Nardò, in

Italy, as part of its global test and development programme earlier this year.

Each Battista is the result of more than 1,250 hours of skilled craftsmanship

in Cambiano, Italy, where no more than 150 examples will be produced. With a

total of 128 million possible interior combinations alone, the new hyper GT

promises new levels of bespoke tailoring. Clients can choose from

near-unlimited levels of interior colour schemes and finishes, in addition to

the exterior colour combinations with bespoke detailing and exclusive aluminium

Exterior Jewellery and alloy wheel designs.

The Battista also features a unique soundscape, SUONO PURO, that complements

the driving experience, that can be personalised via one of five driving modes

– Pura, Calma, Energica, Furiosa and Carattere. These distinct modes give the

Battista unique character, altering the experience depending on the driver's

preference.

EDITOR'S NOTES

THE AUTOMOBILI PININFARINA BATTISTA

( https://automobili-pininfarina.com/media-hub/press-kits#media-hub-nav )

The Battista will be the most powerful car ever designed and built in Italy and

it will deliver a level of performance that is unachievable today in any

road-legal sports car featuring internal combustion engine technology. Faster

than a current Formula 1 race car in its 0 -100 km/h sub-two second sprint, and

with 1,900 hp and 2,340 Nm torque on tap, the Battista will combine extreme

engineering and technology in a zero emissions package. The Battista's 120 kWh

battery provides power to four electric motors – one at each wheel – with a

combined WLTP range of up to 476 km (U.S. combined EPA: 300 miles) on a single

charge. No more than 150 examples of Battista will be individually hand-crafted

at the Battista Atelier in Cambiano, Italy.
