That\u2019s because this ridiculously fast Italian-builtperformance car runs on electricity, just like your humble Nissan Leaf or golfcart.The most powerful car to be designed and made in ItalyTo set the tone for this engineeringachievement, let\u2019s go over a few numbers. Firstly, this electric hypercarproduces around 1,900 hp. That\u2019s 1,100 more horsepower than you would find inthe McLaren Senna, 937 more than a LaFerrari and 421 more than the BugattiChiron.As you would expect with that kind of power, the acceleration of the Battista is pretty quick. Pininfarina are claiming a 0-62 mph sprint time of under 2 seconds, but will not give a specific time so it\u2019s probably somewhere around 1.90-1.99 seconds. That\u2019s about as fast as today\u2019s current Formula 1 cars. The difference being that F1 cars weigh about as much as your holiday suitcase and the Battista weighs somewhere around 2 tonnes, which is very heavy for a hypercar.Prepare for London\u2019s low emission zone with a \u00a31.7 million hypercarThe first deliveries of this astoundingItalian machine will commence towards the end of 2020, just months beforeLondon\u2019s ultra-low emission zone (ULEZ) will extend to the whole of GreaterLondon in 2021. It\u2019s not just fast, it\u2019s luxurious andcomfortable (but probably not in the sense of soft suspension). The Battistahas a claimed range of around 300 miles on a single charge and the 120 kWhbattery can charge up to 80% in 40 minutes with the appropriate charger. Only 150 will be produced and over half arealready spoken for, with Nico Rosberg being one of those existing orders. 0-182 mph in less than 12 seconds. Electrifying! Thanks to the two powerful 450 kW rear motors and the 250 kW front motors, this 4WD electric supercar can reach 182 mph faster than a Toyota Aygo can reach 60mph. The top speed of the Battista is a respectable 217 mph. Pininfarina hope to make EVs coolMichael Perschke, CEO of Pininfarina, had thisto say: \u201cThe Battista is a truly beautiful, guilt-free hypercar \u2013 the first EVto really fall in love with \u2013 because electricity enables us to develop it withzero emissions and as the most powerful car that will have ever been designedand built in Italy.\u201d\u201cAs London joins many cities in moving towards a more sustainable future, we hope that the Battista also inspires a generation to consider electric cars, not just through the benefits of zero emissions, but also through the beauty and the performance that electrification offers.\u201dPininfarina hopes to have their car on thebedroom walls of young car enthusiasts and to inspire future generations tohave a passion for electric cars. A noble cause indeed. What do you think of \u201cthe most powerful car that will have ever been designed and built in Italy\u201d?
