The very beautiful Battista hypercar has been given the Magnus Walker touch, with an initial collaboration centered on this hypercar. Hence, the distinctive shade can be seen, including the signature color blocking and those wheels. This adds a sense of urban aesthetics to the Battista and gives it a different look for sure. However, it is a complex process that is mostly hand-built since each body panel has been painted individually.
Inside, easter eggs are strewn everywhere while some bespoke detailing has been lavished upon. There is also a new textile that has been made for this car, and yet again, the gritty urban aesthetic has been generously applied here. With these cars, the sky is the limit in terms of customizations, and this one-off shows the possibilities of such collaborations for hypercars.

To launch this collaboration, Automobili Pininfarina’s Chief Design Officer, Dave Amantea, joined Magnus for an exclusive fireside chat at his iconic Los Angeles garage.
Magnus Walker said, “Ever since I was a young boy, it has been a dream of mine to design cars, so it was a real honor and pleasure to work with Dave and the team at Automobili Pininfarina to develop this car. It was the perfect blank canvas to express my artistic creativity and personality at this moment in time: I took inspiration from the ’70s and ’80s to create this color blocking and strobe effect and turn it into something signature, bespoke, and unique that I believe will be distinctive and alluring for decades to come.”
Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, said: “Magnus believes ‘You should build a car you love, not one that other thinks you should’ and this perfectly aligns with Automobili Pininfarina’s own philosophy. We have unrivalled heritage as an Italian coachbuilder, creating bespoke, handcrafted pieces of automotive art that push at the boundaries of performance and design. Cars are more than just possessions but are living embodiments of their owners’ individuality and passion. Our collaboration with Magnus Walker is an exciting opportunity to show the world what this looks like through the eyes of a design icon.”
