Pininfarina Battista: Pininfarina has some big plans coming to fruition. Their company first beginning with their official launch back in 2018. Rumors about their exotic “uber-car” – the Battista – have been circulating around the news networks.
The Battista is supposed to be a direct EV powered competitor to the Bugatti Chiron. Apparently it will be limited to 150 units. It is expected to make 1,877 horsepower and 1696 lb-ft of torque. Evidently, with it’s 120 kWh battery-pack taking it a distance of 280 miles. That is, if you’re not driving it like a 1,877 horsepower hypercar.
If those numbers aren’t enough for your jaw to drop, keep in mind that this car will have a 2 second 0-60 mph and will take you up to 186 miles per hour in a grand total of 12 seconds. Wild.
Also, The company recently put out a video of this monster machine hitting the track for some long-awaited testing in the real world. Evidently, the video linked below documents it’s cinematic marriage to the racetrack. Also, for a concept car to make it to test track is a big step. Especially for official testing. So this should give EV enthusiasts some substantial evidence to saw over. So this car is actually coming to production very shortly. Moreover, I’m sure all 150 potential customers are patiently waiting.
Apparently, this recent test happened at Italy’s Nardo high-speed oval. Moreover, Georgios Syropoulos tested this vehicle. Apparently he is Pininfarina’s official test driver.
The driver said “The phenomenal performance potential of the Battista is clear. Also, Our clients will never have experienced acceleration like this before.”
Evidently, the post Pininfarina Battista’s Frist Look into Development and Testing appeared first on Supercars.net.
