When a legendary Italian design house decides to throw itself a 95th birthday party, you can bet it’s going to be spectacular. Enter the Battista Novantacinque — Pininfarina’s one-off farewell kiss to their groundbreaking hyper GT program, and arguably the most fitting send-off imaginable for a car that’s already rewritten the rulebook on what Italian engineering can achieve.
The Final Curtain Call
We should be very clear that this is not just another limited edition cash grab. This is literally the final bespoke Battista rolling out of Pininfarina’s Cambiano atelier before the entire program shuts down at the end of 2025. With only 150 total Battistas ever planned for production, witnessing the conclusion of this chapter feels like watching the end of an era – one where Italian craftsmanship and electric innovation collided in the most beautiful way possible.
And the timing couldn’t be more poetic. Just as Pininfarina SpA celebrates nearly a century of penning automotive legends (think Ferrari 250 GT, Alfa Romeo Spider, countless Ferraris), their automotive arm delivers what might be their most technologically advanced creation yet. It’s a bridge between the analog artistry that built their reputation and the electric future that’ll define the next 95 years.
Carbon Fiber Poetry In Motion
That Exposed Signature Carbon Tinted Rosso Gloss paint job is something to behold. The deep red pays homage to Italian racing heritage while the exposed carbon fiber weave underneath showcases the technical mastery that makes this thing possible. Those PURA Vision Gold accents and Nero Torino gloss details create a livery that feels both contemporary and timeless, like something that could’ve graced the Monaco paddock in 1962 or 2025.
The gold pinstripe from the Furiosa Pack is a particularly nice touch, adding just enough flash without crossing into gaudy territory. And those Iconico wheels? Pure eye candy, especially with the precision-polished finish contrasting against the black channel detailing.
An Interior Worth The Hype
Step inside and you’re greeted by what feels like a jewelry box designed by racing engineers. The black leather and Alcantara combination is classic Italian luxury, but those newly designed aluminum machined rotary controls steal the show. It’s refreshing to see tactile, analog inputs in an era where everything’s moving toward touchscreens. It’s a simple reminder that sometimes the old ways really are the best ways.
That ’95’ logo embroidered in gold on the knee pads? Chef’s kiss. It’s exactly the kind of commemorative detail that’ll make this car even more special decades from now.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Let’s talk about what really matters: 1,900 horsepower and 2,340 Nm of torque delivered through four electric motors. This thing will embarrass current Formula 1 cars in a straight line sprint, hitting 100 km/h in under two seconds. The 120 kWh battery pack provides up to 476 km of range, proving you can have your cake and eat it too – assuming your cake costs several million euros and sounds like a sci-fi movie when it accelerates.
