CAMBIANO, Italy, Aug. 1, 2024
/CNW/ -- The world premiere of an exquisite coach-built client
masterpiece will mark the return of Automobili Pininfarina to
Monterey Car Week later this month.
A unique sculptural statement, the all-new 'one-of-one' vehicle
is the ultimate future collectable combining design and engineering
integrity with bespoke artisanal craftsmanship. The clearest
illustration yet of Automobili Pininfarina's guiding philosophy and
brand promise, 'Dream Cars, Made Real', it is a vision realised
without compromise.
Developed through an intimate collaboration between Automobili
Pininfarina's design team and the client, before being hand-crafted
by its skilled artisans in Cambiano, Italy, it is a celebration of purity and
timeless design.
Once displayed, this design masterpiece will be transported to
its owner in North America. Full
details of the car will be revealed in due course, though a subtle
hint of its ultra-luxury design and highly personal specification
has been revealed through a single image released today.
Paolo Dellachà, Chief Executive Officer at Automobili
Pininfarina, said: "Delivering our first coach-built
creation to a client is an exceptionally exciting milestone for the
brand. With it, we are delivering on the promise we made in
Monterey exactly 12 months ago as
we unveiled the B95 Hyper Barchetta – that we have the design,
engineering and artisan production skills in Cambiano, Italy to create bespoke, coach-built
'one-of-one' masterpieces for our clients. One year later, this
amazing car gives us another chance to celebrate our ability to
make their dreams come true."
Automobili Pininfarina will also be staging a Battista Owners'
Parade for the first time as part of Monterey Car Week. With up to
10 vehicles scheduled to take part, the event illustrates how the
client ownership experience is constantly evolving.
This year marks the fifth time that Automobili Pininfarina has
exhibited at Monterey Car Week, testament to the venue's prestige
and quality as a showcase for the brand's exceptional vehicles.
Last year saw the debut of the B95 Hyper Barchetta, and the PURA
Vision design concept, which previews the future design language of
the marque.
For 2024, Automobili Pininfarina's design team worked with the
client – a renowned collector of priceless vehicles, and existing
Battista owner – to inspire and create an entirely new vehicle to
ensure their car stands out as a design and technical
statement.
This is the latest example of the highly specialised
coach-building that has been part of the brand's proud heritage
since 1930, and continues to be so, creating exquisite and
priceless automotive works of art for discerning clients – the next
Pininfarina icons of the future.

ABOUT AUTOMOBILI PININFARINA BATTISTA (LINK TO PRESS
KIT)
Battista is the most powerful car ever designed and built in
Italy and it delivers a level of
performance that is unachievable today in any road-legal sports car
featuring internal combustion engine technology. Faster than a
current Formula 1 race car in its 0 -100 km/h sub-two second
sprint, and with 1,900 hp and 2,340 Nm torque on tap, the Battista
combines extreme engineering and technology in a zero emissions
package. Battista's 120 kWh battery provides power to four electric
motors – one at each wheel – with a combined WLTP range of up to
476 km (U.S. combined EPA: 300 miles) on a single charge. No more
than 150 examples of Battista will be individually hand-crafted at
the atelier in Cambiano, Italy.
