Pininfarina unveils the Battista Anniversario

Automobili Pininfarina has unveiled the ultimate expression of the world's first luxury pure electric hyper GT, the Battista Anniversario.

The Anniversario shares its technical underpinnings with the Battista. Its carbon fibre monocoque chassis and body provide the strong foundation and backbone of the hyper grand tourer, with its four electric motors generating 1,877bhp and 2,300Nm of torque, apportioned to each wheel by an advanced torque vectoring system. 

This delivers a level of performance that is unachievable today in any road-legal sports car with an internal combustion engine. The Battista will accelerate from zero to 300 km/h in less than 12 seconds.

These levels of performance are delivered alongside a zero-emissions range of over 500km, thanks to the car's 120kWh battery pack, mounted within a strong T-shaped carbon frame low down in the chassis.

The Battista Anniversario celebrates 90 years since Battista 'Pinin' Farina created the legendary Pininfarina coach builder and design house and is the most powerful sports car ever to be designed and built in Italy.

The Battista Anniversario cars will be hand-crafted in Cambiano, Turin, where Pininfarina has established its design centre and headquarters. Just five will be created, each priced from $4.03 million, making the Battista Anniversario one of the world's most exclusive automobiles.

The Battista Anniversario delivers an added level of dynamic ability and a bespoke heritage-inspired anniversary livery. Each of the five Anniversario cars is finished in a combination of three signature colours: Bianco Sestriere, the never-before-seen Grigio Antonelliano, and Automobili Pininfarina's signature Iconica Blu.

Skilled artisans in Cambiano take several weeks to paint each car, building up the finish layer-by-layer and colour-by-colour, all by hand. The body is disassembled and reassembled three times so pinstripes in the three separate colours can be hand-painted directly onto the body.

The Battista Anniversario is also equipped with the 'Furiosa' package, now available to specify with any Battista, comprising of a revised carbon fibre front splitter, side blades and rear diffuser.

Exclusively on the Anniversario, these parts are finished in a two-tone combination of exposed signature carbon and carbon tinted in Iconica Blu with pin stripes in Bianco Sestriere. Besides the exclusive livery, a bespoke rear wing, rear aero fins and other bespoke details are unique to the Battista Anniversario.

The aerodynamic enhancements enabled by the Furiosa exterior changes deliver increased downforce and greater stability at higher cornering speeds and a more dynamic balance to the car.

The Anniversario's handling dynamism has been further sharpened by a reduction in unsprung weight of almost 10kg, thanks to a new wheel design which features centre-lock forged aluminium wheels. The rear wheels have also grown from 20-inches to 21-inches. Together with performance-oriented tyres, the new rims enable the car to achieve a top speed of 350km/h. The optional 'Impulso' wheels complement the options programme available for Battista.

The Anniversario's seats are finished in sustainably-crafted black leather and black Alcantara. The car also features an engraved chassis plate, headlight engraving, an 'Anniversario' script on the side wings, black anodised dedication door and signature 'Pininfarina 90' logos.
