Automobili Pininfarina has unveiled the latest bespoke Battista, commissioned as a tribute to the 1955 Lancia Florida and adorned with a white and blue paint scheme. Famed designer Battista Farina penned the Lancia Florida in the early 1950s and his personal car served as inspiration for this electric hypercar tribute. It’s dubbed the Cinquantacinque and is painted in Blu Savoia Gloss contrasted with a Bianco Sestriere Gloss white roof. The blue is slightly brighter than Farina’s Florida but suits the Battista perfectly.
Elsewhere, the small carmaker has fitted
the car with its Brushed Anodised jewellery pack while the interior is adorned
in heritage leather from Poltrona Frau. And the name? Cinquantacinque
translates to 55 in Italian, referencing the year the original Lancia Florida
was unveiled.
The company hasn’t said who the lucky
owner of this Battista is nor where it will live. What we do know is that it
will be presented at a special event in Tokyo, Japan, and shown to clients in
the region alongside the marque’s local retail partner.
Like all other Battistas, the
Cinquantacinque is powered by four electric motors combining to produce 1,877
hp and 2,430 Nm of torque. The hypercar can sprint to 100
km/h in a blistering 1.86 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 4.75 seconds, and
tops out at 350 km/h.
