Design house Pininfarina will showcase a design concept of its upcoming electric hypercar at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, which will be held between 22-26 August in California. Codenamed the PF0, the full-scale concept will be shown exclusively to prospective customers.



The design is said to be in its final stages and inspiration is claimed to have been taken from older Pininfarina cars like the Cisitalia, Modulo and the Sintesi. The body will be built using carbon fibre. The car is expected to have a claimed 0-100 km/h time of less than 2 seconds and a top speed greater than 400 km/h. Pininfarina is looking to provide a range of more than 480 km on a single charge.



The production version of the PF0 will make its debut at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, with production scheduled to begin in 2020. Only 150 units will be built and each model will be hand-crafted in Cambiano, Italy.

Pininfarina to showcase hypercar concept at Pebble Beach - Post moved to a new thread.

Pininfarina’s 1,900bhp electric hypercar is called 'Battista'

First ever Pininfarina badged hypercar will take the name of its founder.

Quite the conundrum. What on earth do you name a 1,900bhp, fully electric hypercar backed by a design house with nearly 90 years of history? Something flashy and futuristic? A letter and number designation (it was codenamed PF0)? Heck, just a symbol?

No, you make it simple. Name it after the founder. Welcome then, to the ‘Battista’. You can’t see it just yet because it’s not ready, and only a few people in the world have indeed seen it. No, the Battista will be fully unveiled next year at the Geneva Motor Show in March, but you no doubt know all about the car formerly known as PF0.

It’s the first offering from Automobili Pininfarina, a company formed to fulfil Pininfarina founder Battista’s long-held dream of offering standalone production road cars. Though both he and son Sergio designed for numerous brands over their lifetimes, building up Pininfarina SpA into the entity you know today, neither oversaw their own car.

That now falls to Battista’s grandson Paolo. And it’ll be quite something. “This hypercar will boast world-beating performance, technological innovation and of course, elegant styling,” explained Paolo. “For me, we simply had to call it Battista. His dream becomes reality today as we link our glorious past with the future of motoring.”
