Pininfarina has reached a major milestone in its journey with the arrival of the fully electric hypercar, the Pininfarina Battista, in the Middle East for the first time, in Saudi Arabia.
Customers and enthusiasts of rare, exclusive vehicles have been offered a unique opportunity to experience driving the production-ready Pininfarina Battista—the most powerful Italian road-legal car ever built—on local roads for the first time. The hypercar delivers unparalleled all-electric performance, boasting up to 1,900 horsepower and 2,340 Newton meters of torque. It accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in under two seconds and reaches a top speed of 350 km/h. Despite these extraordinary figures, the Battista offers five distinct driving modes with zero carbon emissions. With a combined WLTP range of 476 kilometers, this electric marvel is handcrafted in Italy and currently available to customers starting at 2.2 million euros.
Pininfarina’s expansion into Saudi Arabia aligns with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals of building a more sustainable future. The advanced, fully electric Battista GT embodies the nation’s ambitions by accelerating the shift toward clean energy and environmental sustainability.
No vehicle better represents sustainable luxury than the Battista. Each model is custom-designed and hand-built in Pininfarina’s factory in Cambiano, Italy, in close collaboration with the owner. Clients are invited to a dedicated design studio to personalize their vehicle under the guidance of Davide Amanti, Head of Design, as part of Pininfarina’s bespoke design and manufacturing program. Custom options include a wide selection of interior colors and aluminum trim finishes, along with the option to add the dazzling ‘Exterior Jewellery Pack.’ Inside, customers can choose from 128 combinations of colors and surface finishes.
The Battista also features a unique audio system called SUONO PURO, engineered to enhance the auditory experience of its full-electric powertrain, creating an emotional connection between driver and machine.
The Battista stands out with its distinctive chassis design. Thanks to advanced torque vectoring technology, this hypercar precisely and rapidly distributes torque to each wheel individually—up to 100 times per second—under all conditions, including acceleration, deceleration, and regenerative braking. Combined with its five driving modes—Pura, Calma, Energica, Carattere, and Furiosa—the Battista delivers a dynamic driving experience ranging from precise, interactive handling to relaxed, long-distance comfort. The driving pleasure is further elevated by the luxurious cabin, global internet connectivity, and breathtaking design.
