In a celebration of both Pininfarina’s rich history and the iconic world of Formula 1, the renowned automaker has introduced the exclusive Battista Edizione Nino Farina. This special edition hypercar pays homage to the legendary Nino Farina, the first-ever Formula One world champion. With only five units to be produced, this limited-edition masterpiece merges automotive excellence with a tribute to one of motorsport’s most significant figures.

The electric hypercar can hit 0-60 mph in less than two seconds

The Battista Edizione Nino Farina showcases a captivating exterior appearance. Adorned in a striking Rosso Niro hue, the hypercar features accents of Bianco Sestriere white and Iconia Blu blue, representing Farina’s racing legacy. The roof and upper sections of the doors are finished in sleek black, while touches of visible carbon fiber on the side mirrors and ground effects exude elegance. Bespoke gold wheels and 01 side graphics further enhance its design.

Stepping inside the Battista Edizione Nino Farina, one is greeted by a lavish interior bathed in leather. The front seats are intentionally mismatched, with the driver’s seat in black and the passenger’s seat in tan, both adorned with special Nino Farina branding. The cabin boasts contrasting blue and red elements, complemented by elegant carbon fiber and aluminum accents. Each car will feature a distinctive door plate commemorating a specific milestone in Farina’s extraordinary life, ensuring that no two models are alike. At that moment, you can already tell you’re going home with a significantly lighter wallet.

While the powertrain remains unchanged in the Edizione Nino Farina, its performance remains a highlight. Generating a staggering 1,877 horsepower, the hypercar accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in under two seconds, courtesy of its individual motor for each wheel, powered by a 120 kWh battery pack. With a top speed of 217 mph, the Battista holds its place among the world’s fastest production vehicles. Impressively, the car can travel approximately 300 miles on a full charge, making it both exhilarating and practical for daily use.

As for pricing, Automobili Pininfarina has yet to release specific details for the Edizione Nino Farina. However, with the standard Battista priced at $2.2 million, it can be assumed that this limited edition will command a premium price. Car enthusiasts will have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of this remarkable hypercar at the upcoming 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it will make a public appearance and tackle the legendary hill climb.

Peugeot has an impressive track record of some pretty iconic cars that were matched with durability and endurance. The French carmaker has revealed its newest hybrid hypercar that packs some innovative designs. The company will debut the new hypercar at the Le Mans 24 hours race and the World Endurance Championships in 2022.

The new hypercar packs some power and beauty into its design. It is a beauty to behold and seems to be a speed racer capable of endurance races. However, it looks Peugeot is revamping its aerodynamics design with a wicked wing glass and lacking in the traditional rear wing commons in prototype racing models. The rear wing serves the vital purpose of providing aerodynamic balance and downforce, making the car highly competitive and fast.

Peugeot will join several traditional automakers like Toyota in the Le Mans Hypercar races as the field continues to swell with carmakers of different hues. Ferrari is also primed to join the 2023 Le Mans, as it continues work on its first prototype-class racing car in more than 50 years.

The Peugeot 9X8 hypercar has a 680 HP V6 engine, a 2000KW electric motor powered by a 900V battery developed by the French automaker in collaboration with Saft, another French company. It is yet unclear how Peugeot will balance the massive combined power available for the hypercar to fit championship regulations of a maximum of 680HP. Possibly Peugeot would have conceptualized a mechanism for the hypercar’s powertrain to dynamically balance the power output of the two power sources to meet race requirements.

The Le Mans Hypercar class series affords flexibility in the rules that encourage innovation, like Peugeot’s wingless design. Indeed the greater flexibility allowed by the sport’s new technical rules relating to aerodynamics, according to Peugeot Sport, has permitted radical new thinking that is driving the emergence and development of innovative cars. There are still some details not yet revealed about Peugeot’s concept car, especially what its top speed would be. We await Le Man’s 2022 and the World Endurance Championships series to see the Peugeot 9X8 in action.
