Pininfarina units document 0-60 time mph with Battista hypercar

Pininfarina has printed official efficiency figures for its Battista electrical hypercar, and it is fast, even by EV requirements.

In accordance with the corporate, the Battista wants simply 1.79 seconds to hit 60 mph, beating the 1.85 seconds the Rimac Nevera wants to realize the identical feat.

Just like the Nevera’s time, the Battista’s time was achieved with one foot of rollout. With out rollout, i.e. timing the acceleration from an entire standstill, the time could be barely slower.

The acceleration time of 1.99 seconds quoted by Tesla for the Mannequin S Plaid can be with rollout. The Nevera and Mannequin S Plaid instances had been additionally achieved on high-friction floor dragstrips to maximise traction, and it is doable the identical is true for the Pininfarina, although the corporate hasn’t confirmed that.

Pininfarina carried out acceleration checks for the Battista at Italy’s Nardo take a look at observe. Different claimed figures embrace 0-120 mph acceleration in 4.49 seconds and a prime velocity of 217 mph. The Battista can be claimed to cease from 62 mph in simply 101.7 ft.

Whereas the Battista is faster in acceleration than the Nevera, the Rimac nonetheless has the highest velocity benefit. It hit 256 mph throughout testing, which is a document for a manufacturing EV.

The Battista’s powertrain contains a 120-kwh T-shaped battery that feeds 4 electrical motors good for a mixed output of greater than 1,874 hp. The powertrain is definitely the identical as within the Nevera, though the Nevera has a 1,914-hp ranking.

In accordance with Paolo Dellacha, Pininfarina’s product and engineering chief, optimized weight distribution and a low heart of gravity are key to the Battista’s outcomes. The Battista additionally advantages from a bespoke chassis and suspension.

Pininfarina will construct simply 150 examples of the Battista and deliveries have already begun.
