Automobili Pininfarina unveils Battista Anniversario.
The Battista anniversario electric hypercar is a tribute to legendary designer Batista ‘Pinin’ farina. This hypercar also marks the ninety years of Pininfarina coachbuilding and design house.
This new electric hypercar is a classic combination of Pininfarina design and unparalleled power. The zero-emission pure electric powertrain provides modern lining to the timeless design.
Furthermore, coach-builder decides to produce only five cars. So, you can only imagine the exclusive nature of this hypercar. It is, undoubtedly, the most powerful road car ever built and designed in Italy. It will be handcrafted by Pininfarina in Cambiano, Turin.
In addition, the Battista anniversario honors ninety years of Pininfarina design. It is also destined to become the most exclusive automobiles in the world. The anniversario takes the clues from pure electric Batista hyper GT. On top of that, it also adds some new level of dynamic ability and bespoke heritage. The whole experience perfectly integrates into body design and it becomes the part of the design itself.
My grandfather had a vision of a stand-alone range of Pininfarina branded cars. Batista anniversario marks the glorious link between our past and the future of motoring.

Battista anniversario Design: Handcrafted Italian artistry
The finishing of each of the five cars will be in exclusive Pininfarina anniversary livery. It comprises of three signature colors. Bianco Sestriere, never seen before Grigio Antonelliano and signature Iconica Blu.
Furthermore, the artist will paint each car for three weeks by hand. They will paint layer by layer & color by color. After every coat, they will disassemble the body. So, pinstripes in three separate colors can be hand-painted directly onto the body. The assembly and disassembly of the body take place three times during the entire painting process.
This is arguably the most complex hand made paint finishes in the world. The result is more than just a visual work of art.
