Automobili Pininfarina has marked another milestone in its journey as the Battista pure-electric hyper GT takes to Middle East roads for the first time in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The arrival of the Battista in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, coincides with a strengthened presence in the region following the appointment of luxury mobility specialists, Nine Motors, as Automobili Pininfarina’s newest retail partner. Nine Motors is responsible for the sale and service of the award-winning hyper GT in key locations across Saudi Arabia and takes the total of world-class retail partners to 27 globally.
Discerning clients and collectors in the region had the exclusive opportunity to experience the production Battista – the most powerful road-legal Italian car ever built – on local roads for the first time. The hyper GT delivers a unique pure-electric performance package featuring 1,900 hp, 2,340 Nm of torque, 0-100 km/h acceleration in under two seconds, and a top speed of 350 km/h. The Battista achieves this – as well as a choice of five driving modes – while producing zero CO2 emissions and an electric driving combined WLTP range of 476 km. With prices starting from €2.2 million, the luxury Battista is now available to clients and is hand-crafted in Italy.
Automobili Pininfarina’s entry into Saudi Arabia is a testament to the ever-growing Saudi Arabian market and complements the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 strategy which aims to build a more sustainable future. The hyper GT’s advanced pure-electric powertrain links to the national vision and ambition to accelerate the energy transition and achieve sustainability goals.
