The Pininfarina Battista Nino Farina Edition is more than just a limited edition of the electric hypercar. It is a homage to the man who founded the iconic design house and shaped some of the most beautiful cars in history.
Nino Farina was a visionary who started his career as a racing driver and became a master of automotive aesthetics. He established Pininfarina in 1930 and created timeless masterpieces for brands like Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Lancia. He also won the first Formula One World Championship in 1950, driving an Alfa Romeo 158.
Pininfarina has created a special version of the Battista, the company's first in-house production car to honor his legacy. The Pininfarina Battista Nino Farina Edition is limited to just five units, each featuring a unique exterior and interior design inspired by Farina's work.
A Stunning Exterior
The Pininfarina Battista Nino Farina Edition stands out with its Bianco Sestriere metallic paint, which is reminiscent of the color used on many Pininfarina-designed cars in the 1950s and 1960s. Black accents on the roof, rear wing, diffuser, and wheels contrast the paint. The car also sports a special badge on the front fender, depicting Farina's signature and his racing number 34.
The bodywork of the Battista Edizione Nino Farina is made of carbon fiber, which helps reduce weight and improve aerodynamics. The car also features an active rear wing that can adjust its angle depending on the speed and driving mode. The wing can also act as an air brake, enhancing the stopping power of the carbon-ceramic discs.
A Luxurious Interior
The interior of the Pininfarina Battista Nino Farina Edition is equally impressive, with a combination of leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber. The seats are upholstered in black leather with white stitching and piping, while the dashboard, door panels, and steering wheel are covered in black Alcantara with white accents. The center console and door sills are made of carbon fiber with a matte finish.
The cabin also features a digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment system that can display various information and functions. The driver can choose from four driving modes: Calma, Pura, Energica, and Furiosa. Each mode alters the power delivery, throttle response, suspension settings, and sound of the electric motors.
A Powerful Performance
The Pininfarina Battista Nino Farina Edition is not only beautiful but also incredibly fast. The car is powered by four electric motors, one for each wheel, that produce a combined output of 1900 horsepower and 1696 lb-ft of torque. The electric car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds, from 0 to 186 mph in less than 12 seconds, and reach a top speed of over 217 mph.
The electric car is also equipped with a 120 kWh battery pack that can provide a range of up to 310 miles on a single charge. The battery can be recharged using a fast-charging system that can restore 80% of the capacity in less than 25 minutes.
A Rare Opportunity
The Pininfarina Battista Nino Farina Edition is a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history. The car is priced at $3.4 million (2.9 million EUR), which is $400,000 more than the standard Battista. The car will be delivered to its lucky owners in late 2022 or early 2023.
The Pininfarina Battista Nino Farina Edition is more than just a car. It is a tribute to the legendary designer who shaped some of the most beautiful cars in history. It is also a testament to Pininfarina's vision of creating an electric hypercar that combines performance, elegance, and sustainability.
