UK public debut for Battista hypercar

Automobili Pininfarina is presenting its 1,900hp, zero-emissions Battista hypercar on general public display in the UK for the first time.

The pure electric stunner is on show in a bespoke enclosure in London at the British Library’s main Piazza from until June 9.

The event has been timed to coincide with the ‘Leonardo da Vinci: A Mind in Motion’ exhibition – a partnership between Automobili Pininfarina and the British Library, marking the 500th anniversary of the death of da Vinci.

A film has been produced celebrating the luxury electric car company’s ambitions for extreme performance, innovative engineering and beautiful style – principles of modern-day Italian automotive design that resonate back to Leonardo’s inspirational work.
