In a stunning showcase of luxury and performance, Automobili Pininfarina has revealed the Battista Novantacinque, a bespoke hyper GT model crafted to honor the 95th anniversary of Pininfarina SpA. This extraordinary vehicle made its debut at the Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile (MAUTO) in Turin, Italy, from 22-24 May, where it captured the attention of automotive enthusiasts and collectors alike. The Battista Novantacinque is not just a car; it is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and historical significance that Pininfarina represents in the automotive world.
As the last bespoke Battista to be unveiled, the Novantacinque signifies the culmination of the Battista series, which is set to conclude production by the end of 2025. With its limited availability, this unique model is destined to become a cherished classic, sought after by collectors. Automobili Pininfarina's philosophy, encapsulated in the motto 'Dream Cars, Made Real', reflects its commitment to creating exquisite vehicles that blend craftsmanship with groundbreaking performance.
The Aesthetic Masterpiece
The Battista Novantacinque is more than just an engineering marvel; it is a visual masterpiece that pays homage to Pininfarina's rich heritage. The car is finished in Exposed Signature Carbon Tinted Rosso Gloss, a vibrant hue that embodies Italian culture's passion and speed. The bespoke livery features PURA Vision Gold Paint Gloss and Nero Torino Gloss accents, with a distinctive gold pinstripe inspired by the Furiosa Pack. The special 'Novantacinque' script adorns the rear wing, adding to its exclusivity.
Enhancing its striking exterior are Iconico wheels in Precision Polished Colourless, paired with Black Channel Matt detailing, which complement the car’s dynamic silhouette. Black brake calipers and brushed aluminium anodised accents further enrich the design.
Luxurious Interior Experience
Inside, the Battista Novantacinque offers a luxurious environment that oozes sophistication. The Pilota seats are clad in a mix of Black Leather and Black Alcantara and feature duotone stitching in Black and Gold, echoing the exterior’s luxurious design. Black Alcantara knee pads display a gold '95' logo, underscoring the vehicle's celebratory nature. The interior showcases Exposed Signature Carbon Satin and refined aluminium elements anodised in Gold and Black, creating an elegant and cohesive aesthetic.
Newly designed aluminium machined rotary controls provide an intuitive and visually stunning interface, specially crafted for this edition. Every aspect of the cabin—from the bespoke floor mats to the chassis and door plates—embodies an intricate vision of Italian craftsmanship and elegance.
Performance Beyond Compare
The Battista Novantacinque is a powerhouse of performance, featuring a high level of engineering that aligns with modern electric vehicle standards. With an impressive output of 1,900 horsepower and 2,340 Nm torque, it outpaces even the fastest Formula 1 cars in acceleration. The vehicle is equipped with a 120 kWh battery, powering four electric motors—one at each wheel—yielding an astonishing 0 to 100 km/h sprint in under two seconds. Moreover, it boasts a WLTP range of up to 476 kilometers (approximately 300 miles) on a single charge, showcasing the perfect blend of performance and sustainability.
