Automobili Pininfarina pays tribute to the first Formula 1 World Champion, Nino Farina, with the unveiling of a limited-edition version of their hypercar, the Battista Edizione Nino Farina. This exclusive model, limited to just five units, honors Farina’s legacy with distinctive design elements and features while maintaining the impressive performance attributes of the original Battista model.
Celebrating A Racing Legend
The Battista Edizione Nino Farina is much more than a hypercar. It’s a tribute to the life and career of Nino Farina, the first Formula 1 World Champion, and nephew of Carrozzeria Pininfarina’s founder. Farina achieved great success in the 1950s before his life was tragically cut short in a road accident. His legacy lives on in this special edition Battista model.
Unmatched Design Aesthetics
The exterior of the Edizione Nino Farina is covered in a unique “Rosso Nino” red paint, a nod to the vehicles Farina raced in. White and blue accents, gold-colored wheels, and the distinctive “01” markings further highlight the car’s exclusivity. The limited-edition model is set to dazzle attendees at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, with former racing driver Nick ‘Quick Nick’ Heidfeld at the wheel.
Luxurious and Sustainable Interiors
Inside, the vehicle boasts luxurious sustainable black leather for the driver’s seat and beige leather for the passenger’s seat, both adorned with “Nino Farina” lettering. These bespoke two-tone interiors, along with other personalized details, celebrate significant milestones in Farina’s life and career, encapsulating the essence of the legendary driver in the vehicle’s design.
Exceptional Performance
Despite the unique design features, the Edizione Nino Farina shares the same powerful electric drivetrain as the standard Battista model. Powered by four high-performance electric motors, it’s capable of impressive acceleration and a purported top speed of 350 km/h, making it a fitting homage to a legendary racing figure.
The Pininfarina Battista Edizione Nino Farina is not just an exceptional hypercar, but also a remarkable tribute to an iconic racing champion. Its blend of design homage and superb performance ensures that Farina’s legacy will continue to inspire and excite the automotive world.
