Is the Pininfarina Battista a little too affordable or a little too common for you? If your answer is yes, then the Italian car manufacturer has just the thing for you, the new Automobili Pininfarina B95. This € 4.4 million (US$ 4.8 million) creation has been unveiled as part of Monterey Car Week, is capped at just 10 units, and shares its powertrain with the Battista. The exclusive open-air two-seater has a gorgeous silhouette using Pininfarina’s current PURA design philosophy and looks comparatively simple compared to the body of the Battista. Dominating the front end is the protruding splitter and the thin LED headlights, situated on a low-slung fascia that gradually flows upward to the pronounced front fenders and a hood with vertical veins.
Making the B95 unique from most other
Speedster and Barchettas we’ve seen launched in recent years is the fact that
both the driver and passenger have unique, electronically adjustable aero
screens. They take inspiration from vintage fighter planes and are made from
clear polycarbonate with exposed aluminum supports and can be easily raised and
lowered to improve comfort. The example heading to Monterey is finished
primarily in a shade of grey known as Bronzo Superga that is contrasted by
Giallo Arneis yellow accents across the front and the driver’s side buttress.
The car also features numerous carbon fiber accents and is fitted with 20-inch
front and 21-inch rear forged aluminum wheels painted in matte black with
exposed aluminum outers. The brake calipers are finished in Giallo Arneis.
Pininfarina has ensured that the interior
of the B95 is just as special as the outside. A sculpted carbon fiber dashboard
with a floating wing design immediately catches the eye and has been trimmed in
Tan Sustainable Luxury Leather. The seats have the same leather finish while
the headrests are Pied de Poule Houndstooth Luxury Textile with black and white
elements. As you would expect for a vehicle costing this much, customers will
be offered virtually endless customization and personalization options when
ordering their B95.
Like the Battista, the Pininfarina B95 is
driven by a 120 kWh lithium-ion battery pack driving four electric motors to
deliver a combined 1,874 hp. It can hit 96 km/h in less than 2 seconds
and a top speed exceeding 300 km/h, more than fast enough for a car
without a windshield. The battery can be charged from 20-80% in just 25
minutes.
Production of the Pininfarina B95 will
start in 2025, the same year that the company will celebrate its 95th anniversary.
