2022 proved to be a huge year.
Elon Musk found himself in hot water with the Tesla stock disaster and messy Twitter takeover, but somehow still found the time to deliver one of Tesla’s most anticipated vehicles.
In addition to that, not one but two supercar makers introduced off-road supercars.
From the Will Smith-Chris Rock slapping incident to the new hypercars unveiled this year, how much do you know about 2022’s defining moments?
Time to put your knowledge to the test with our 2022 quiz.
#1. Who is the 2022 Pininfarina Battista hypercar named after?
The Battista is named after the company’s founder: Giovanni Battista Farina.
Some may not know that the name of the company is also a tribute to the founder.
It combines his nickname ‘Pinin’ (Italian slang for ‘younger’) and his last name ‘Farina’.
#2. Which of these Tesla models was delayed again in 2022?
Yup, all three have been delayed.
Production of the Cybertruck and the Roadster was postponed again in 2022.

But we haven’t heard anything about it since.
#3. Which of these statements about Tesla (in 2022) is TRUE?
It is true that Tesla finally delivered the first SEMI trucks to customers in 2022.

#4. What is the new off-road-friendly Porsche 911 called?

‘Cielo’ is Italian for ‘sky’, or ‘heaven’.

Saudi Arabia pulled off a stunning upset as they beat Argentina 2-1 in the opening game of Group C.

But that rumor turned out to be just that; a rumor, with the coach dispelling it a short time later.
#8. Which of these iconic 2022 moments was turned into an NFT?
