Exclusive, electric, fast, luxurious, masterpiece
We stand at the crossroads of change, where the past marries the future in an electrifying embrace, resulting in something extraordinary, audacious even. The Pininfarina Battista Anniversario is no mere machine; it's the embodiment of an idea, a dream brought to life with unflinching dedication to detail and an unyielding commitment to excellence.
This chariot is a distilled homage to nine decades of unparalleled design history, a living, breathing testament to the legacy of Battista “Pinin” Farina. Not just any tribute, mind you, but an extravagant homage crafted into a form so limited, so exclusive, that only five will exist among us. The Anniversario is a marvel that dances on the line between hyper-rarity and inaccessibility.
There's a poetry in its motion, a ballet of electrons as it bolts from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 1.86 seconds, the world blurring into a cascade of colors as you dare to nudge the top speed of 350 km/hr. Its battery, an impressive 120 kWh power pack, allows for a range of 476 km on a single charge. A beauty that possesses this level of fierce, mind-bending performance while leaving no trace of emissions in its wake is a paragon of our times.
Yet, there's more than just raw speed and electric thrill. The aesthetics matter, the intimate touches that transform a piece of machinery into an objet d'art. Each Battista Anniversario is meticulously hand-painted through a labor-intensive process of disassembling and reassembling until it finally dons the colours of the Piedmont environment: Bianco Setriere, Grigio Antonelliano, and Pininfarina's iconic, Iconica Blu.
The design language of the Battista Anniversario is profound, yet sophisticated, featuring upgrades like the Impulso forged aluminium wheels, which not only add a distinct character but also enhance performance with a weight reduction. The carbon fibre front splitter, side blades, and rear diffuser, all part of the Furiosa Package, bring a harmony between aesthetics and aerodynamics that's simply poetic.
Inside, the environment is designed around the driver, an intricate blend of innovative technology, sustainably-crafted black leather and black Alcantara, stitched together with the distinct Iconica Blu, a testament to the essence of PURA – absolute purity and beauty above all.
This beauty doesn’t simply rely on performance. Its array of five different driving modes allows for an unparalleled connection between driver and machine, adapting to the whims of the heart, from the racing thrill of a hypercar to the laid-back drive of a GT.
To understand the Pininfarina Battista Anniversario is to understand the blend of craft, history, and technology that has gone into its creation. This isn't just a car, but a dream maker, a record breaker, a statement of what we can accomplish when we dare to push the boundaries. It's a marvel that embraces the beautiful physics of our world, all while reshaping it with its exhilarating presence.
Pros:
- Pure Electric Powertrain: The 1900 HP, pure electric powertrain offers an exhilarating and environmentally friendly driving experience. It's a zero-emission vehicle with high performance that doesn't compromise the environment.
- Remarkable Performance: The hypercar's top speed of 350 km/hr and acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 1.86 seconds puts it on par with or surpasses many of the world's leading hypercars.
- Long Range: A full charge can give you a significant 476 km of range, which is outstanding for an electric vehicle, particularly one of this performance class.

- Exclusivity: The production of only five Battista Anniversario vehicles adds an unmatched level of exclusivity and prestige to owning one.
Cons:
- Price and Accessibility: The exclusivity and high-end features of the car imply a price tag that will likely put it out of reach for all but the wealthiest individuals.
- Practicality: While it excels as a performance hypercar, the Battista Anniversario might not be as practical or versatile as a daily driver, particularly in congested urban areas or on rough terrains.
- Charging Infrastructure: Depending on your location, the availability and accessibility of charging stations could be a concern, potentially limiting the convenience of long-distance travel.
- Maintenance: High-end hypercars tend to come with high-end maintenance costs. Given the car's rarity and sophistication, maintaining it could prove costly.
