European\u00a0hypercar manufacturer\u00a0Automobili Pininfarina<\/a> has made its official invasion into the United States. Sure, the boutique automaker already has retail partners in place on US soil and continues to expand that footprint, but it will soon deliver the very first two all-electric Battista hyper GTs to US customers. Better yet, one of them is the first of only five Battista Anniversario EVs being made.<\/p>\n

Automobili Pininfarina GmbH is a Munich-based subsidiary of Mahindra & Mahindra, who purchased the Italian\u00a0car design firm\u00a0Pininfarina SpA in 2015. The automaker\u2019s Italian roots come from the original Pininfarina, which was founded in 1930 by Battista \u201cPinin\u201d Farina.<\/p>\n

The refreshed subsidiary\u2019s first EV, the Battista hyper GT, is named after its predecessor\u2019s original founder and initially debuted as a concept EV at Monterey Car Week 2018. That luxury hyper GT was followed by the announcement of an even more exclusive version of the Battista called the Anniversario<\/a>. It\u00a0features handcrafted components like its paint job, and its makers have promised a limited production of only five vehicles \u2013 each already sold for an estimated $2.9 million each.<\/p>\n

Automobili Pininfarina originally promised the Battista would arrive in 2020, but following delays, the hypercar developer\u00a0unveiled a production-ready version<\/a>\u00a0at Monterey Car Week in the summer of 2021. Since that debut, Automobili Pininfarina has been expanding its retail presence in North America<\/a> while simultaneously ramping up Battista hyper GT production overseas.<\/p>\n

With the handcrafted hypercars rolling off the assembly lines at the automaker\u2019s recently opened Atelier engineering and development hub in Cambiano, Italy, Automobili Pininfarina has begun the delivery process to customers in the US.<\/p>\n
