Pininfarina Battista EV
The hypercar has some extraordinary specifications. There is a 120 kWh battery pack sending power to 4 electric motors for a total output of an unbelievable 1,900 PS and 2,300 Nm of peak power and torque. If you thought this was impressive, the acceleration time for a 0-100 km/h sprint takes just 1.86 secs, 0-200 km/h takes a ridiculous 4.75 secs while 0-300 km/h comes up in under 12 secs! These are unheard of numbers even for regular hypercars. Ram Charan and Sachin Tendulkar being driven in a Pininfarina Battista is definitely a sight to behold.
