Dynamic testing programme begins for Pininfarina Battista

Automobili Pininfarina has made a fast start into 2020, the 90^th anniversary year of Pininfarina SpA, by commencing the testing and development phase for the ground-breaking Battista - the world's first fully electric luxury hypercar.

The Battista's technical development schedule is headed by Automobili Pininfarina Sportscar Director Rene Wollmann, formerly of Mercedes-AMG. In the driving seat of Battista prototype vehicles will be former Formula One and Formula E legend Nick Heidfeld, now a Development Driver and Ambassador for the Italian luxury car marque.

Automobili Pininfarina's teams of engineers will now undertake a rapid development programme of exhaustive testing, evaluation and development over the coming months, in the climates and environments that the Battista will be driven in. This will culminate with the first hand-crafted Battistas being handed over to clients at the end of 2020 in Cambiano, Italy.
