Pininfarina Battista: 1,900 hp… and mind-blowing performance!

Pininfarina took advantage of an event in Dubai to unveil the final performance figures of the Battista. And they are impressive.

To quickly establish a name in the automotive industry, Automobili Pininfarina aimed to make an impact with a super-powerful fully electric supercar. The Battista — that’s its name — has the mission to become one of the most performance-oriented cars on the market. And based on the figures just announced at an event in Dubai, it seems the goal has been achieved.

With a 0 to 100 km/h time of precisely 1.86 seconds, and a 0 to 200 km/h in 4.75 seconds, the Battista confirms the tremendous acceleration potential of electric cars. According to Pininfarina, it also brakes very strongly, needing only 31 meters to go from 100 to 0 km/h. This is a record for an electric vehicle.

These performance figures have been used for the car’s homologation. The Battista’s technical sheet should therefore remain unchanged.

This speed, Pininfarina owes to its four electric motors, which deliver a combined power of 1,900 hp and a torque of 2,340 Nm. But the importance of the Launch Control system should not be overlooked; without it, the car would have lost precious tenths during violent wheelspin at launch.

Since we’re talking numbers, also note that the Battista can reach a top speed of 350 km/h. Regarding range, Pininfarina promises 476 km in WLTP mixed cycle. A respectable value given its performance, achieved thanks to a massive 120 kWh battery.

Naturally, such a car is not intended for widespread distribution. Pininfarina has chosen to produce only 150 examples. Anyway, starting at a price of 2.2 million euros excluding tax, the Battista can truly only attract a handful of wealthy clients.
