[Auto] Pininfarina launches a special edition of the Battista that pays homage to F1

There will be only five units, all different, and that maintain the beastly powertrain of almost 1,900 Hp of power.

Pininfarina's history is long and fruitful in the world of automotive design, but as an independent manufacturer, it is barely 7 years old, since its intention to launch an electric sports model was announced in 2018 by Rimac.

It is worth saying that at that time, the money for this incursion came from India after Mahindra acquired the property of Automobili Pininfarina, and validated the Battista project, the first model that appeared in 2019, and whose deliveries began in 2022, when the model was completely ready.

But since the big business of these manufacturers is special editions (let Pagani say so with the Zonda), Pininfarina presents an exclusive edition that pays tribute to the history of Pininfarina and Formula 1: the Battista Edizione Nino Farina. It is worth saying that Nino Farina was in 1950 the first official champion of Formula One at the hands of Alfa Romeo. And he was also the nephew of Battista Farina, founder of Pininfarina and the person after whom the electric supercar is named.

Using the same spectacular original Battista, the brand paints it with a cape of Rosso Niro (red) contrasted with details in Bianco Sestriere (white) and Iconia Blu (blue).

 

 

Black is present on the roof and the upper part of the doors, while there are visible carbon fiber elements, such as the side mirrors, floor details and a large number of decorations. The wheels are gold and it has side graphics that complete a unique aesthetic.

The interior is leather with contrasting colors. The driver's seat is black and the passenger's seat is cream, with Nino Farina embroidery on the headrests. There are other contrasts in the interior with blue and red colors, as well as carbon fiber and aluminum.

The electric powertrain of the Edizione Nino Farina is the one already known in the Battista that is provided by Rimac: four motors, one per wheel, generating 1,873 Hp and 2,340 Nm, powered by a 120 kWh battery.

The Battista holds the acceleration record with a 0 to 100 km/h in 1.86 seconds and a 0 to 200 km/h in 4.79 seconds, being able to reach a maximum speed of 375 km/h, and offer almost 500 km of autonomy.

Automobili Pininfarina doesn't mention the price of the Edizione Nino Farina, which will officially debut at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, but if the standard Battista costs $2.2 million, we can get an idea.
