Pininfarina has dropped a series of new images
showcasing the revised design of the Battista electric hypercar. These images showcase a silver
Pininfarina Battista prototype driving along mountain roads laden with a number
of blue-tinted carbon fiber parts. In addition, we are offered a look at the
car’s interior which is particularly eye-catching because the driver’s seat is
finished in black leather while the passenger seat features tan-colored
leather.
The Italian car manufacturer unveiled its tweaked
design for the Battista in late June, just four months after the car celebrated
its global debut. We’re told the changes were made to improve aerodynamics.
Alterations include the fitment of new wing mirrors and some subtle new
elements within the vehicle’s front bumper.
In the lead-up to this year’s Monterey Car Week
where the Battista will be displayed, Pininfarina recently announced that it
plans to build all-electric sedan and SUV models. Pininfarina is looking at
possible partners in the automotive industry to team up with to develop a
platform that will underpin both models. If everything goes well, the duo could
be launched in as little as three years.
Underpinning the Pininfarina Battista is the same
powertrain as the Rimac C_Two. This means the car features a 120 kWh battery
pack and four electric motors to pump out a combined 1873 hp and 2300 Nm of torque. The hypercar should accelerate to 100 km/h in
less than two seconds and continue through to a top speed exceeding 350 km/h. As equally impressive as these performance figures is Pininfarina’s
claim the Battista will have a range of up to 450 km.
