Automobili Pininfarina has delivered the first two examples of the all-electric Battista hypercar to owners in North America.
The first U.S.-bound example of the Pininfarina Battista was tailored and designed by its owner, a private collector on the West Coast, in partnership with Automobili Pininfarina chief design officer Dave Amantea.
Adorning the exterior of the car is a shade of silver dubbed Argento Liquido complete with the Carbon Accent Pack that adds carbon fiber wing mirrors. Elsewhere, the hypercar’s roof has been painted in Nero and the Exterior Jewellery Pack has been optioned, adding red brushed aluminum accents and complemented by red brake calipers and gloss black center-locking wheels.

The cabin of the Battista is adorned in chrome-free leather that has been sustainably tanned by a local supplier using the leaves from regional olive tree harvesting. Immediately catching the eye is the red leather across the seats, complete with black contrast stitching and quilting. A special key with a red brushed aluminum stripe was also crafted for the owner.
Pininfarina spent more than 1,250 hours building and assembling the first U.S.-bound Pininfarina.
The second example built is the first of five planned Battista Anniversario models which required an extended 18-week schedule and 1,340 hours to complete.
“The team and I are very proud of Automobili Pininfarina’s expansion in the U.S. and the delivery of the first Battista cars stateside,” Automobili Pininfarina chief executive Per Svantesson said. “This symbolizes our creation of a new luxury electric car segment both in the U.S. and globally. With a passionate collector receiving the first Battista in North America, we see tremendous confidence in this masterpiece of design and technology in this influential community. North America is a very special region for Automobili Pininfarina. The appetite in the community for peerless design and the demand for innovative electric luxury cars means that the majority of the 150 bespoke Battista we handcraft in Italy will be owned by U.S. clients.”
