Automobili Pininfarina, the luxury electric car manufacturer, has reached a new milestone in its growth by crafting the first Battista pure-electric hyper GT for a Canadian client. The exclusive vehicle was presented at an event in Toronto by retail partner Grand Touring Automobiles, marking a significant moment for the company.
The CEO of Automobili Pininfarina, Paolo Dellachà, was present at the event to showcase the stunning Verde Piemonte Battista in the Toronto retail space. Grand Touring Automobiles is the exclusive representative of Automobili Pininfarina in Canada, with locations in Calgary, Toronto, Vaughan, and Oakville.
The first Battista in Canada is a bespoke example designed, developed, and handcrafted at the Battista Atelier in Cambiano, northern Italy. The vehicle’s striking exterior is finished in vibrant Verde Piemonte with a unique green and black exterior theme, featuring the Furiosa Pack in Exposed Signature Carbon tinted in Black and a fine pinstripe finished in Verde Piemonte. Black exterior elements extend to the mirror caps, Goccia roof, detailing screws, and Battista signature under the rear wing.
The interior of the vehicle is finished in luxury black leather with bespoke contrast stitching complementing the Verde Piemonte exterior, extending to the Triangolo quilting on the center console and door inserts. The GT seats are designed for maximum comfort for both the driver and passengers, while the Prezioso wheels are finished in ceramic polished gloss, providing a striking contrast, with brake calipers finished in black.
Every Battista pure-electric hyper GT is handcrafted at Automobili Pininfarina’s Atelier in Cambiano, Italy. Prospective owners are invited to the dedicated commissioning lounge to design their vehicle, with a near-infinite combination of enhancements possible. This unique customer journey makes the Battista a proposition unlike any other.
The Battista pure-electric hyper GT is powered by four independent electric motors, a powerful 120 kWh lithium-ion battery delivering up to 1,900 hp and 2,340 Nm of torque, with zero-emissions range of up to 476 km.
The Battista has confirmed its world record breaking performance credentials in a number of dramatic demonstrations in India and the United Arab Emirates. In February 2023, at Indore’s Natrax facility in India, the Battista achieved two new world records: ¼ mile sprint in 8.55s and ½ mile sprint in 13.38s.
In November 2022, the Battista showcased its unrivalled performance prowess at the Dubai Autodrome, celebrating a series of world records achieved in its final round of homologation, including 0-60mph in 1.79s, 0-100km/h in 1.86s, 0-120mph in 4.49s, 0-200km/h in 4.75s, 100-0km/h in 31 metres, and a range of 300 miles (combined EPA).
The Battista’s Brembo CCMR carbon-ceramic brakes provide unrivalled braking performance in combination with brake regeneration technology and the car’s aero brake. With its advanced technology, exquisite design, and unparalleled performance, the Battista is a true masterpiece and an extraordinary achievement for Automobili Pininfarina.
