Pininfarina presented his Battista all-electric hypercar at Geneva's motor sport – a 1900-horsepower (!!) animal ranging from 0 to 100 km / h in less than two seconds. Will this compete with Tesla's upcoming elite electric hyperlink status roadster?
"The most powerful vehicle that has never been designed and built in Italy," has the carbon fiber body Battista with an insanely 2300 Nm of torque. The electric shelf will have a range of up to 450 km with a 120 kWh battery pack from Rimac Automobili.
Pininfarina claims that Battista can beat 186 mph in less than 12 seconds. Its top speed will be limited to 217 mph. Automobili Pininfarina says Battista's "extreme performance" is "an achievement that would only be impossible to achieve with combustion technology."
Electric Hypercar Limited Run
The company will produce a maximum of 1[ads1]50 Battistas – Automobili Pininfarina says The car will be distributed equally between North America, Europe and the Middle East / Asia. Battista will reach customers by 2020, and Automobili Pininfarina already takes programs to own one of these hyper vehicles. It should cost around $ 2.2 million.
If we only compare 0-60 times, Pininfarina costs about 10 times the Tesla's new Roadster for about the same performance. Tesla says the Roadster comes out over 250mph and seat 2 + 2. Also compare the 280 mile range of Pininfarina to the Roadster's 620 (!!) miles.

Electrek's Take:
The battista of our understanding is mostly a Rimac fuel and a lovely Pininfarina design shell and that will probably do very well in the elite car market.
But it is difficult to Imagine spending $ 2.2 million on this thing when a Tesla Roadster with more than double-range miles and significantly higher peak speeds is likely to be on the market for a couple of years, in fact, for the supposed $ 200-250K price tag, it's
Nevertheless, those who have a taste for Pininfarina aesthetics and deep wallets will love this car and its whistle-inducing horsepower and torque.
