Pininfarina Battista to make US debut at Monterey Car Week [new images and video]

Automobili Pininfarina leaves Italy for the Monterey Car Week hosting presentations and joining a parade to celebrate Pininfarina’s unprecedented past, providing prospects with an incredible vision of what is to come from the pure-electric luxury car brand.

With legendary Pininfarina-designed cars being driven alongside the latest Battista pure-electric hypercar on Thursday 15th August, and the enhanced Battista design being revealed in North America for the first time, the 2019 Monterey Car Week is set to be the biggest celebration yet of Pininfarina’s past, present and future.

The latest Battista design model will make its North American debut as part of a drive to the House of Automobili Pininfarina near Pebble Beach alongside a jaw-dropping line-up of classic Pininfarina-designed cars.

With a series of private presentations to Battista clients, future prospects and invited media, the essence of Pininfarina’s famous ‘form and function’ philosophy will also be presented in Borgogno’s vision for luxury cars built on an innovative EV platform. Automobili Pininfarina’s PURA Vision design model will be revealed alongside sketches and renders that define the company’s future design language. It will reflect Pininfarina’s classic design and engineering principles and takes direct inspiration from both the Battista and some of the carrozzeria’s greatest masterpieces.

Monterey Car Week will also be the first opportunity for US clients to see the Battista since design enhancements were made following wind tunnel tests. This design evolution is defined by aerodynamic performance that strengthens the car’s overall design and contributes to an increased range targeting over 300 miles (450 kilometres) on a single charge.

Automobili Pininfarina CEO Michael Perschke will be joined in Pebble Beach by Design Director Luca Borgogno to provide the strongest hints yet as to the brand’s future design direction and product portfolio.

Michael Perschke, Automobili Pininfarina CEO, said: “We are excited to be back in Pebble Beach at the House of Automobili Pininfarina. We will celebrate the breath-taking design heritage of Pininfarina whilst presenting our PURA Vision – a design model that shows how Automobili Pininfarina will channel historic inspiration into a vision of the future of automotive luxury.”

Borgogno said: “Defining Automobili Pininfarina’s future design vision has been by far my most exciting challenge as a car designer. With PURA Vision we aim to respect and reflect the elegance and purity that defines every Pininfarina design.

“Our guests may recognise hints of various iconic Pininfarina designs in some of the sketches and the PURA Vision model. We want the connoisseurs of our past to embrace our thrilling future as a brand that celebrates beautiful design above all else.”

Completing Automobili Pininfarina’s packed programme in Monterey, the Battista will join a parade of classic Pininfarina cars for a short drive to the House of Automobili Pininfarina. The drive will feature Pininfarina owners and their cars on a four-hour circular route on Thursday 15th August from 1pm.

From late 2020 just 50 Battistas are estimated to be available in Europe, 50 in North America and 50 in the Middle East and Asia markets, with the €2m hypercar available to order through a small network of specialist luxury car and hypercar retailers. Potential customers are invited to apply to own a Battista now using an online service within the company’s website.
