This is the Pininfarina Battista Novantacinque, and it’s the last Battista ever.
Not only that, it is also a birthday present to Pininfarina… from Pininfarina.
This one-off marks the end of production of the Battista.
And it also celebrates 95 years of Pininfarina.

Battista Farina was born in a small town in Piedmont, Italy, and he was the tenth of eleven children, which is why everyone in the family called him ‘Pinin‘, which is Piedmontese dialect for ‘youngest/smallest’.
Farina founded the company as Pininfarina and then legally changed his name to Pininfarina in 1961.
The company was originally founded as a coachbuilder, but it has become much more than that.
In 2022, Pininfarina unveiled the Battista, an electric hypercar built on the underpinnings of the Rimac Nevera.
It even uses the same electric unit and the same battery pack.
This one-off Battista, the last ever, is named Novantacinque, which is Italian for ’95’, because Pininfarina was founded in 1930.
It’s a nice touch.
It’s a nice car, too.
The exterior features a striking Exposed Signature Carbon Tinted Rosso Gloss (yep, that’s what Pininfarina calls this particular tone) body with gold accents and a gold pinstripe.
There are several nods to the number 95 throughout the car, from the gold-stitched embroidery to the ‘Novantacinque’ script across the rear wing.
The engine in the Pininfarina Battista Novantacinque is a Rimac-sourced electric unit with 1,900 horsepower and 2,340 Nm of torque.
It does 0-60mph in under two seconds and has a range of 300 miles (476 kilometers).
The Novantacinque marks the end of the Battista production run of 150 units (including one for Michael Jordan and the one-off designed by Magnus Walker), but it’s not for sale.
At least for now.
