The Pininfarina Battista has been in production since July and the first one arrived in the US this month.
The electric supercar has been delivered to a West Coast customer and features a combination of silver and bare carbon fiber for the exterior. The roof is finished in black and customers also choose the Exterior Jewelry Package, which adds some red brushed aluminum accents to the vehicle. Matching red brake calipers and red accents on the wheel locks complete the look.
For the interior, customers choose red leather with black contrast stitching. Customers also chose a triangular pattern for the tufted leather on the center console and door panels. The customer also requested a custom key with the same red brushed aluminum finish as the exterior accents.
The second Battista to come to the United States will be the first of five Battista Anniversarios. The special edition model was launched in 2020 to mark the 90th anniversary of Battista “Pinin” Farina’s Pininfarina design firm, and all five models are destined for customers in the United States. The first sample will be shipped at the end of October.
The Battista Anniversario benefits from a unique aerodynamic package and forged aluminum wheels with performance-oriented tyres, all of which enhance the car’s performance on the track compared to the regular model. These cars will also feature the same silver and blue theme that matches Pininfarina’s signature colors.
Pininfarina will produce a total of 150 Battistas, including five Anniversario models. Most of the cars will reach customers in the United States.
Per Svantesson, CEO of Pininfarina’s automotive division, said: “The appetite in the community for unrivaled design and the need for innovative luxury electric cars means the majority of them. The 150 custom Battistas that we hand-craft in Italy will be owned by US customers. statement.
