The Pininfarina Battista is quick, however now we all know precisely how briskly. The electrical hypercar is presently the fastest-accelerating road-legal car on the earth. And with regards to stopping, Pininfarina says the Battista can also be a record-setter.
Let’s bounce proper into it. The Battista goes from 0-60 mph in 1.79 seconds. It reaches 120 in 4.49 seconds, about the identical time it takes a Chevrolet Camaro SS to hit 60. And when it is time to cease, the Battista goes from 60-0 mph in 101 ft. Based on Pininfarina, these stats are official and characterize new data for manufacturing autos. The highest pace is 217 mph, which is not a document however nonetheless, it is uncommon air for any automotive, by no means thoughts an EV.

“Completely optimized weight distribution and low heart of gravity are on the coronary heart of this end result,” stated Automobili Pininfarina Chief Manufacturing and Engineering Officer Paolo Dellacha. “The mix of bespoke chassis and suspension tuning, tires confirmed over many hundreds of take a look at miles, and four-motor torque vectoring delivering unprecedented energy allows Battista to be the quickest accelerating road-legal automotive on the earth.”
To refresh your reminiscence, the Battista makes use of 4 electrical motors that produce a mixed 1,900 horsepower (1,417 kilowatts) and 1,696 pound-feet (2,300 Newton-meters) of torque. Rimac provides the 120-kilowatt-hour battery pack, formed in a T and mounted low for higher weight administration. Every automotive is handbuilt in Italy, taking roughly 1,250 complete hours to finish. 150 vehicles are deliberate for manufacturing, with costs beginning at €2.2 million. In US foreign money, that is presently $2.25 million.
Manufacturing started in July, and deliveries to prospects are actually underway. Pininfarina selected the Battista’s debut for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to disclose its record-setting efficiency, achieved on the Dubai Autodrome.
It has been an extended street for the EV hypercar. We first noticed it means again in 2018 throughout Monterey Automotive Week in California. Now that deliveries are taking place all over the world, it is unclear how lengthy the manufacturing run can be for all 150 fashions.
