Pininfarina Battista electric hypercar sets acceleration and braking records
Italian luxury carmaker Pininfarina has finally revealed the performance figures of its Battista electric hypercar. The four-wheeler sprints from 0-97km/h in just 1.79 seconds, and reaches 193km/h in 4.49 seconds. It also decelerates from 100-0km/h in 31 meters and promises a range of 483km, both of which are world records for electric hypercars. Deliveries of the vehicle are now underway.
Why does this story matter?
Pininfarina has introduced the Battista in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The company has revealed the car's record-breaking performance figures achieved at the Dubai Autodrome. The handcrafted Battista is now the world's fastest-accelerating road-legal vehicle as well as the fastest-braking EV. In the hypercar market, these factors should make it stand out from the rest.
The car has dihedral doors and rear wings
The Pininfarina Battista flaunts a sloping roofline, a sculpted hood, a front splitter, a charging port, and sleek headlamps connected by an LED strip. On the sides, the hypercar is flanked by dihedral doors, body-colored ORVMs, and 21-inch alloy wheels. Sleek LED taillights, an active diffuser, and large rear wings are available on the rear end of the vehicle.
It attains a top speed of 349.2km/h
The Pininfarina Battista packs four electric motors linked to a T-shaped 120kWh battery pack. The setup delivers a combined output of 1,900hp/2,300Nm and allows the vehicle to hit a top speed of 349.2km/h.
The vehicle gets 2 seats and 360-degree-view camera
The Pininfarina Battista has a luxurious tech-forward two-seater cabin with premium upholstery, auto climate control, and a flat-bottom multifunctional steering wheel. It houses a small digital speedometer, a digital driver's display, and an infotainment console. All three of them are angled toward the driver. Multiple airbags, ABS, a 360-degree-view camera, and EBD ensure the safety of the passengers.
