The Battista is entering the homestretch as Automobili Pininfarina has revealed the electric hypercar is nearing its final phase of development, ahead of customer deliveries early next year.

With production inching closer, Pininfarina’s test driver Nick Heidfeld recently subjected a production-intent model to a barrage of tests both on and off the track.

The former Formula One and Formula E driver stated, “The effect under acceleration is completely mindbending – drivers will never bore of the experience, no matter how many times they feel it.” He went on to say, “The handling on open roads – even on unpredictable surfaces – proved Battista to be beautifully balanced” and “just how a hyper GT should feel.” Heidfeld added, “The ride quality and damping both feel excellent, and the steering feels natural and the perfect fit for what we want to achieve in Battista.”

We’ll have to take the company’s word for it, but there’s no denying the Battista is one impressive piece of machinery. It features a Rimac-sourced 120 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which powers four independent electric motors that allow for all-wheel torque vectoring.

This setup results in some truly staggering numbers as the hypercar has a combined maximum output of 1,874 hp (1,397 kW / 1,900 PS) and 1,741 lb-ft (2,360 Nm) of torque. This enables the EV to rocket from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in less than two seconds and 0-186 mph (0-300 km/h) in less than 12 seconds. Given enough room, the model will eventually top out at 217 mph (350 km/h).

The carbon fiber clad Battista is slated to offer a range of up to 311 miles (500 km), but it will be a rarity as production is limited to 150 units and pricing starts at €1.98 ($2.24 / £1.69) million before taxes.
