As deliveries of the pure-electric Battista** hyper GT continue, Automobili Pininfarina Salt Lake City is led by Dealer Principal Tom Buckley. “He and his team will provide a highly personalized client experience to prospective and current owners,” Pininfarini said in a release.

The pure-electric Battista hyper GT – the most powerful Italian car ever made – has a total of 128 million interior combinations, so the new hyper GT has complex levels of customization. Retailers will assist clients as they personalize the Battista to suit individual tastes. Price, oh, about ~$2.8 million.

During summer of 2021, the Battista Anniversario made its physical world premiere appearance during Monterey Car Week. All five models were sold during the event for the “world’s first pure-electric luxury car company,” as Automobili Pininfarina bills itself.

The addition of Automobili Pininfarina Salt Lake City to the list of global retail partners follows the carmaker’s introduction to the Middle East in 2022, where the Battista made a dynamic debut at the Dubai Autodrome in the United Arab Emirates – demonstrating its record-breaking official acceleration and braking figures for the first time:

  • 0-60mph in 1.79s – A world record for a production car
  • 0-100km/h in 1.86s – A world record for a production car
  • 0-120mph in 4.49s – A world record for a production car
  • 0-200km/h in 4.75s – A world record for a production car
  • 100-0km/h in 31 meters – A world record for an electric car
  • Range of 300 miles (combined EPA) – A world record for an electric hypercar

*Automobili Pininfarina is based in operational headquarters in Munich, Germany, with a team of experienced executives from luxury and premium car brands. Designed, engineered and produced by hand in Italy, the Battista hyper GT and all future models will be sold in all major global markets under the brand name Pininfarina. The new company aims to be the most desired, sustainable luxury car brand in the world.

The company is a 100% Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd investment and has been named Automobili Pininfarina following the signing of a trademark license agreement between Pininfarina S.p.A. and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. Pininfarina S.p.A. is an influential role in supporting design and production capacities based on their 90-year experience of producing many of the world’s most, well, iconic or exotic cars.
