First 1,900-Horsepower Pininfarina Battista Hyper GT Design is Inspired by New York City

The first Pininfarina Battista Hyper GT delivered to a client features design inspired by New York City. Automobili Pininfarina revealed the unique model and plans to allow clients to customize their hypercar today.

Pininfarina’s designers have featured a red, white and blue motif on the vehicle that is reminiscent of the colors of the American flag. Additionally, there is explosed carbon bodywork and the world’s first automotive industry application of Iconica Blu thread.

The all-electric car also wears performance stripes and a pinstripe that are finished in Bianco Sestriere metallic. Stripes are applied by hand due to the nature of the Battista’s body panel shapes.

A red Exterior Jewelry Pack, brushed aluminum headlight engraving, Dark Matte Grey wheels with a brushed aluminum center-lock ring anodized in black, and black Goccia roof, rear wing, and diffuser finish the exterior look, which took hundreds of hours to complete.

The interior is home to black leather upholstered Pilota seats that feature Iconica Blu Alcantara with navy color inserts. Stitching matches the exterior paint and striping colors. Interior metal finishes match the exterior’s as well.

The fresh look is courtesy of the company’s personalization program. Clients who wish to have their model specified will be invited to the company’s newly refurbished Cambiano, Italy facility to create their vision with the help of Pininfarina’s design team. A new Atelier space alongside the Battista production line will open later this year.

“The Pininfarina name has a storied heritage of individual cars, and the Battista continues this legacy as every vehicle will be truly bespoke by design,” said Sara Campagnolo, the head of color and materials design at Automobili Pininfarina.
