Pininfarina has announced that its Battista electric sports car has entered series production at its atelier in the Piedmont region of Italy.
The uber-sleek vehicle, which costs £1.7 million, is being produced in a dedicated 7,546-square-foot space located at the company’s Cambiano headquarters. A team of 10 craftspeople will build each Battista, with each EV taking around 1,250 hours to complete.
The Battista is set to boast an all-electric powertrain that can pump out 1,900 hp, with Pininfarina calling it the “world’s first pure-electric hyper GT.”
“The Battista hyper GT is the realisation of a dream, which began with design icon Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina’s ambition to create a beautiful car bearing only the Pininfarina name,” commented Pininfarina CEO Per Svantesson.
“We are proud to have achieved that goal and in doing so, we lead a movement into an exciting new luxury era, where design purity and a focus on sustainable innovations will shape a series of incredible new vehicles from Automobili Pininfarina.”
