Automobili Pininfarina has completed a high-speed test programme with the all-electric Battista hypercar at the Nardo Technical Centre in Italy.
According to the car manufacturer, test driver and vehicle dynamics manager Georgios Syropoulos completed a series of dynamic tests at Nardo’s 12.6 km ring and laps of the 6.2 km handling track at the same facility. While the company hasn’t elaborated on what kind of speeds the car reached, it is keen to point out that the prototype used was not a stripped-out development mule and included a full production-spec interior.

“The phenomenal performance potential of the Battista is clear,” Syropoulos said. “Our clients will never have experienced acceleration like this before, yet giving them the opportunity to tailor their experience using a range of drive modes means this hypercar offers much more than just speed thrills. With a zero-emissions range of 500kms and sophisticated all-wheel drive technology, every drive in Battista will be a pleasure.”
With tests at Nardo complete, Automobili Pininfarina will roll out nine prototypes for on-road testing and development at a number of other private test facilities as it looks to perfect the chassis settings, advanced torque vectoring system, and the unique sound experience.
“This test is an exciting moment for our clients and the team at Automobili Pininfarina as we complete another phase In the development of the most powerful Italian sports car ever made,” added Automobili Pininfarina chief product and engineering officer Paulo Dellacha. “We have undertaken extensive development using advanced simulation technology, and we can now fine-tune the calibration of Battista’s bespoke chassis and pioneering four-motor torque vectoring system on road and track.”
The Pininfarina Battista features four electric motors that combine to produce 1,873 hp and 1,696 lb-ft (2,300 Nm) of torque.
