FIRST DRIVE: Pininfarina Battista - $2.4m, 1,900bhp hyper-EV driven on road and track | Top Gear

This is the future of really, really fast things. It’s the sister car to the Rimac Nevera, so based around the same powertrain technology, electrical architecture and carbon core - but is draped in a body and interior of Pininfarina’s design.
Sorry, yes, forgot to mention, this is an all-electric hypercar, sorry Hyper-GT. A 1,874bhp and 1,696lb ft monster capable of zero to 60mph in sub 2 seconds, 0-186mph in less than 12 seconds, a top speed of 217mph and if you can find a 180kw DC charger, you can top up from 0-80 per cent in 40 minutes. But what’s the future of really, really fast things like to drive? Well, we sent Top Gear Magazine’s Jack Rix to Miami to find out.

Not ganna lie to u the stats are pretty much identical to the new tesla and at 131,000$ and hose 0 to 60 in 2 seconds and has 390 mile and has more room so this super car I simply don't care about its over priced trash

[@harbirsingh7266]

@@mikegrayrat6094 check out the carbon fibre on and inside that thing. Carbon fibre is expensive. Plus every single material on this thing is many times the cost of materials of a regular consumer car. That's hyper car for you. Also, in that market your manufacturing is not as automated as Tesla's is, which increases the cost. Not as many cars are produced, so each car needs to be much more expensive to make profit. Add to that the brand cost. Brand is what counts when you enter the ultra luxury market. And that's how you get a price in millions.

Even though it is visually and technically amazing, I will always feel there's something missing about these hyper EVs, something incomplete... it looks light, but weighs over 2 tons. It looks like it will make a beautiful noise that is as soulful as its design, but you barely hear anything at all... These hyper EVs will always feel like they're lacking the full experience no matter how fast they are compared to an ICE powered hypercar.

[@AmateurGT]

I love these ev hypercars but to me without the noise from a combustion engine it's like it's missing it's soul

[@ApothecaryTerry]

It's true, but the ICE cars are starting to do the same thing too sadly. It's gone as far up the chain as a 911 Turbo S which doesn't really sound any better than an EV now. Once the really fancy stuff does that then EVs will definitely be the way to go. Only compared to new cars though- if I could swap the EV kit in this for my 325hp NA flat 6 I'd be happy with the lower performance!

[@lychvy8023]

@@ApothecaryTerry it's abit of a stretch to say a current 911 sounding no better than an EV though, and that ICE cars are also going towards the same trend of EVs . Even if it's what you say, it's definitely nowhere near as bad. EVs have already started becoming 1 trick ponies and virtually identical to one another despite only just starting their legacy as the future of the automobile for mainstream adoption... I sincerely hope the R&D into synthetic fuels bears fruit such that ICE power can indeed be viable for a sustainable future. A good sign that the world hasn't given up on this pursuit would be F1, having just announced that they will work towards developing 100% sustainable fuel which could eventually have a trickle-down effect to commercial usage if it is successful.

[@ApothecaryTerry]

@@lychvy8023 The 992 Turbo doesn't sound good, it's not unpleasant or anything, but it certainly isn't exciting enough to be a selling point over an EV which just has no sound. It's true EVs are pushing the "look how fast we can accelerate" thing way too much though. They can have a really low centre of gravity- that was a selling point in my previous hybrid, I feel like that should be more of a thing. They're doing it, but all the publicity is about acceleration. Sustainable ICE fuel will be expensive- great for motorsport and collectors but not viable for most people. Porsche reckon their fuel will be at least 10x the price of petrol at best. I'm hoping for hydrogen (since batteries are fundamentally pretty crap) and I'll get over the sound with a good stereo and nice luxury, but I wouldn't mind keeping my flat 6 Porsche and running it on expensive eFuels occasionally!

The most Beautiful electric car ever, no wonder Pininfarina is known for their gorgeous design, hope this brand succeeds 🇮🇹!

[@thedn3164]

This is no more Italian brand. This is indian brand because Pininfarina is owned by Indian company mahindra in 2015. That's why they have been capable to build a car instead of only designing it.

[@NirajKumar-wb5hg]

@@thedn3164 yeah....

[@NirajKumar-wb5hg]

Yeah ...... whatever you want say like It's an italian company or anything ..... but the truth is that it's now an Asset of Indian multination Giant mahindra

[@normaluser5755]

@Niraj Kumar It's still an Italian company, with Italian history, and everyone knows that. If it's Indian, then why was the car designed by Italians? Why does the tech come from Croatia and not India?

[@thedn3164]

@@normaluser5755 because they have given free hands to them. Indian company doesn't believe in nationality, their motive is to give good products. Tata and mahindra are two examples. Tata own jaguar and land rover but still doesn't interfere in their work just give funding and take revenue same does mahindra with this Italian company

I think billionaires never visit supermarkets in person. Their groceries and grog are delivered and converted into meals by minions. If they ever go shopping themselves they either rideshare, park by valet or slum it in the Range Rover to the Armani, Vuitton, Rolex or Breitling boutique.
