Faster than its electric sister model
Anyone who has ever driven an electric car is undoubtedly aware of the direct power delivery of electric motors. The electric motors react quickly to input from the right pedal, often resulting in short acceleration times. Its electric powertrain earns the extraordinarily strong Pininfarina Battista the title of ‘fastest accelerating production car in the world’.
Hold on, the Rimac Nevera was the fastest sprinting car in the world, right? Indeed: wax. The technically related to that Croatian super-EV Pininfarina Battista is now taking that title. The Rimac Nevera hums with its 1,941 hp and 2,360 Nm strong powertrain in 1.85 counts to a speed of 97 km/h (60 mph). The Pininfarina Battista has reached the same speed in just 1.79 seconds and is therefore slightly faster. In 1.86 Automobili Pininfarina’s Battista pounds to 100 km/h and those whose vertebrae can handle this acceleration can reach 200 km/h from standstill in just 4.75 seconds. The Rimac Nevera can still call itself the electric car with the highest top speed in the world.
The Pininfarina Battista can claim another title in addition to the title of ‘fastest sprinting production car in the world’. The Battista is also the electric car with the shortest braking distance in the world. The extreme EV is able to come to a stop within just 31 meters from a speed of 100 km/h. Why is the Battista faster? This undoubtedly has to do with things like streamline and things like weight and the adjustment of the electric motors.
Under the skin, the Pininfarina Battista shares technology with its electric rival from Croatia. In fact, the two cars are on the same platform. Just like the Nevera, the Battista has a 120 kWh battery pack and two very strong electric motors. Not one, not two and not three, but the four electric motors are responsible for an output of 1,927 hp and 2,340 Nm.
