Pininfarina Battista

[bsclywilly]

Sharing the track with a Rimac, I mean, a Pinifarina Battista today at Laguna Seca. It’s crazy to actually see what 1800hp is when they’re passing you… and the 3 GT3s in front of you. Mind boggling.

The specs are ludicrous - 3/4 the weight, 3x the power of a Taycan, 0-60 in 1.8

Lap time in the 1.20s?

I didn’t ask about lap times, unfortunately. I was more interested in their mobile charging setup. Using a 100kW Herc rental diesel generator and this 44kW 900V mobile charger. Curious if there could be a market for renting a setup like this for a small group of evs.
The specs for the Battista are really staggering but I suspect the weight is actually closer, if not the same, as the Rimac at 5100lbs since they have the same battery capacity. Not the 4400lbs C&D quoted.

Looks like they do an 88 kW version @ 450 V - would still fall within the DC charging speed envelope of a Taycan equipped with the 150 kW DC-DC converter.

@bsclywilly it doesn’t look like a test mule. Was this a factory test, or it this already made its way to a dealer or private owner?

Thanks for sharing, very cool.

Private owner. They delivered 4 of them to the US at Monterey car week. Owner is awesome, first thing he does is take it to the track!
