Powered by a 120kWh battery pack supplied by Rimac, the Pininfarina Battista shares roughly 40-50% of the technical components found in the Rimac C Two. With four motors individually set on each wheel wrapped in Pirelli Corsa P Zero tires and an astonishing 1,877hp and 1,696lb-ft of torque available the car can put down the power with extreme efficiency allowing it to have a 0-60 time of less than 2 seconds and run to a top speed of 212mph. Those four motors delivery so much instantaneous torque that 4 of the five driving modes limit the amount of torque available to give the driver some time to cope with the F1-like speeds. In fact, the engineer's are aiming to be faster than an F1 car in a sprint to 60 (an official time has yet to be set). Putting this power output into perspective, that's over twice the power of an 812 Superfast, nearly four times the power of a GTR and 400hp more than a Regera. To stop the car Pininfarina fitted massic 390mm carbon ceramic brakes with aid from regenerative braking and an airbrake thanks to its sweeping active rear wing.

Pininfarina has big plans for the future. They just launched the car in the Middle East and confirmed production for the Battista will start late 2020 with the company's second model, codenamed PF1 to be revealed later this year. The launch coincides with the beginning of Automobili Pininfarina's search for strategic partners to help execute the company's future plans and to begin developing partnerships with various dealers around the world to sell their range of new vehicles. Included in their plans is a full range of luxury zero-emissions SUVs to broaden its reach into the automotive market.
