On the shores of Lake Como, just a few hours drive from Automobili Pininfarina‘s Cambiano production facility, the Battista won the Design Award at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este as a bespoke specification of the pure electric hyper GT made its first public outing between October 1-3, 2021.
The pure-electric hyper GT appeared in a previously unseen specification, following a successful world premiere at Monterey Car Week, where a unique model with Black Exposed Signature Carbon bodywork was joined by the Battista Anniversario to mark the introduction of the vehicle to the US market.
Luca Borgogno, Automobili Pininfarina Chief Design Officer said: “We took a unique Battista to Villa d’Este to showcase the diverse color and material choices that our discerning clients can choose from when personalizing their vehicle. To win the Design Award is a fantastic way for us to begin the countdown to making our first customer deliveries later this year. It’s always exciting for us to show new bespoke combinations of the Battista in different parts of the world, but especially so in our home country alongside other legendary classic Pininfarina-designed masterpieces.”
