Automobili Pininfarina Unveils Electric Battista Cinquantacinque - Tribute to 1955 Lancia Florida

Automobili Pininfarina has curated a unique Battista commission as a tribute to the 1955 Lancia Florida – a vehicle designed and loved by Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina. Each Battista is propelled by four independent electric motors and a powerful 120 kWh lithium-ion battery, delivering 1,900hp and 2,340Nm of torque.

This advanced powertrain allows acceleration of 0-100 kph in 1.86 seconds and 0-200 kph in 4.75 seconds, as well as a driving range of up to 476 km.

The company's Design Team was inspired by the 1955 Lancia Florida when also creating the PURA Vision design concept, which sets the template for all future Automobili Pininfarina models.

The Battista Cinquantacinque will make its public debut in Tokyo, Japan, when it is introduced to clients in the region, alongside retail partner, SKY GROUP, as part of Automobili Pininfarina’s continued global expansion.

Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, says: “This was a truly special and unique opportunity to design a car that plays homage to Pininfarina SpA’s heritage. The colour combination of the Battista Cinquantacinque is incredible and shows the vision Battista Farina had when he designed the Lancia Florida back in the early fifties. Not only that, but that very same model helped guide me when creating the PURA Vision design concept, a truly unique vehicle that sets the template for future models from Automobili Pininfarina.”

Automobili Pininfarina is based in operational headquarters in Cambiano, Italy, with a commercial office in Munich, Germany.
