In addition to the one-off Targa version of the Battista supercar, Automobili Pininfarina also introduced its latest electric model at Monterey Car Week, and the main theme of this car is inspired by the small Italian town of Cambiano.
While some other Battistas have been painted in striking colors, the owner of this one has kept things simple and opted for a white finish for most of the panels. Many other details are painted black, including the pillars, roof, and part of the hood. There are also some carbon fiber details on the front splitter and panels.
The lower part of the rear wing is intricately crafted with intricate graphics, including an intricate hand-drawn map of the Cambiano region with a stylized diagram of Battista’s production line. The custom door panels also feature a similar graphic and are laser-engraved with the words “Where it all began” and “Fatto Con Amore in Italia,” meaning Made with Love in Italy.
The Battista’s interior is also quite special. The top of the seats features a black and white design similar to that on last year’s B95 Barchetta show car. The rest of the cabin is upholstered in black leather with contrasting white stitching.
“With its unique and intimate connection to Cambiano, this Battista holds a truly special place in the hearts of everyone at Automobili Pininfarina,” said Dave Amantea, design director at Automobili Pininfarina. “We have crafted a car that reflects the unparalleled sophistication and craftsmanship of our nearly 95-year design heritage. This unique livery celebrates the talent and dedication of our designers, engineers and artisans who work at Cambiano to pursue our brand vision: Dream Cars.”
Last week’s festivities in Monterey were not only special for Pininfarina because it was the debut of the Battista Targamerica, but also because the brand hosted its first-ever Battista Owners Parade. The special tour included 10 cars and allowed owners to take in the stunning California coastline.
