Automobili Pininfarina Unveils Battista Targamerica Electric Hypercar

California, US- Automobili Pininfarina GmbH is a luxury electric vehicle manufacturer has removed the covers – and the roof – from a unique one-off car, Battista Targamerica, the world's first coach-built electric hypercar delivered to a client.

The Automobili Pininfarina Battista Targamerica boasts a silver Argento Liquido Gloss exterior with Iconica Blu accents and hand-painted pinstripes on the rear wing. It features unique ceramic-polished five-spoke alloy rims and bespoke brushed aluminium details. Inside, the tan leather upholstery contrasts with a black leather steering wheel and dashboard, while custom headrests and a tailored luggage set further emphasize its personalisation and luxury.

Battista Targamerica shares the crown as Italy's fastest road-legal car with the Automobili Pininfarina Battista. This electrified masterpiece delivers an unparalleled open-top driving experience, with its four independent electric motors combined with 120kWh lithium-ion battery delivering 1,900hp of power and 2,340Nm of torque. As a result, Battista Targamerica can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than two seconds, and has a top speed of more than 300km/h.

Mr. Paolo Dellacha, Chief Executive Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, said, "This is a seminal moment, delivering our first coach-built one-off vehicle to a client. Battista Targamerica, like no other vehicle before, demonstrates the infinite possibilities our highly skilled team can design and engineer. Our world-class artisans have delivered something truly special – the first electric open top hypercar designed specifically to a very exacting client's own specification."

The Battista Targamerica, inspired by the iconic 1986 Ferrari Testarossa Spider, pays homage to its predecessor with a striking silver exterior adorned with subtle blue and black detailing. This one-off creation, commissioned during the 2023 Monterey Car Week, mirrors the Testarossa Spider’s elegance and simplicity, including its distinctive rear luggage feature lines. Developed in just one year by Cambiano's skilled artisans, the Battista Targamerica incorporates personal touches that reflect the client's life and achievements.

Mr. Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, said, "The Battista Targamerica is at the frontier of design. An exceptional vehicle that stands at the vanguard of performance and luxury. The gauntlet was thrown down for us to create something that uniquely represents the personality of this vehicle's owner. This is the service we provide to clients, and the team has more than delivered. The result is our first coach-built one-off vehicle, a Targa that bears the badge of Automobili Pininfarina. Battista Targamerica will forever stand as a one-of-its-kind vehicle and will never be repeated."

Mr.Andrea Crespi, Chief Technical Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, said, "Battista Targamerica is the result of unparalleled collaboration between our in-house design and engineering teams, as well as the client. This vehicle brings together superior on-road performance and stability, and a unique design. This commission forced us to challenge ourselves to deliver Battista levels of performance without the tensile support of a hard-body roof, pushing the team to deliver a creative, one-of-kind solution to meet our client's needs."
