During Monterey Car Week, Automobili Pininfarina introduced the Battista Targamerica, a one-off vehicle representing the world's first coach-built electric hypercar delivered to a customer.
Inspired by Pininfarina's best-known one-off car, the 1986 Ferrari Testarossa Spider, this bespoke creation is a testament to the brand's deep-rooted commitment to merging luxurious design with cutting-edge technology.
The Battista Targamerica was commissioned by a collector and existing Battista owner. It is the result of close collaboration between the design team and the customer.
