The Battista Targamerica is a groundbreaking creation by Automobili Pininfarina, marking the brand’s first-ever coach-built electric hypercar delivered to a client. Unveiled at The Quail during Monterey Car Week, this bespoke vehicle exemplifies the brand’s philosophy of transforming dream cars into reality. Designed in close collaboration with the client, a renowned car collector, the Battista Targamerica stands out with its unique open-top body, striking silver and blue color scheme, and meticulous attention to detail. Inspired by the iconic 1986 Ferrari Testarossa Spider, the Targamerica’s design pays homage to its predecessor while integrating modern luxury elements such as a custom cigar humidor built into the cabin. The vehicle’s name, co-created with the client, reflects its roofless design and American roots.
This one-of-a-kind hypercar retains the extraordinary performance of the Battista, Italy’s most powerful road-legal car, boasting a 1,900 hp powertrain that can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in under two seconds. The design process, which took a year from conception to delivery, involved extensive personalization, including bespoke luggage and interior finishes tailored to the client’s lifestyle. The Targamerica represents a fusion of Automobili Pininfarina’s decades of design and engineering expertise, showcasing the company’s commitment to creating personalized luxury vehicles that are as much art pieces as they are performance machines. This masterpiece will remain a singular creation, never to be replicated, further solidifying Automobili Pininfarina’s status as a leader in bespoke automotive luxury.
