B95
First revealed during Monterey Car Week, the breath-taking B95 is the first pure-electric, open-top hyper Barchetta ever built. It is a design and technology limited edition icon – the simplicity of its flowing open-topped bodywork contrasts with exquisite technical details to provide a dramatic interpretation of a classic racer, underpinned by pure-electric performance. This masterpiece has been designed by the Automobili Pininfarina Design team and in collaboration with Pininfarina SpA, developed and hand-crafted in Cambiano by a team of artisans.
Handcrafting and deliveries of this limited-run masterpiece will begin in 2025, marking the 95th anniversary of Pininfarina SpA. The ‘B’ in its name stands for Barchetta, both elements combined creating the name Automobili Pininfarina B95.
Automobili Pininfarina’s PURA design philosophy expresses an elegant silhouette and dramatic proportions, as demonstrated by the recently unveiled PURA Vision concept. The principles established here have been translated for B95, balancing inspiration from iconic classic race cars with futuristic elements.
It is powered by the same state-of-the-art powertrain that delivers breath-taking performance in the Battista hyper GT, but with a unique tune for such a bespoke vehicle. Accelerating from 0-60mph in less than 2 seconds, B95 has a top speed of more than 300km/h.
There are unlimited personalisation opportunities for collectors specifying B95, ensuring each one of the 10 examples will be unique. To find out more click here.
Battista Edizione Nino Farina
Battista Edizione Nino Farina is a tribute to racing legend Nino Farina – nephew of company founder Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina and the first Formula One World Champion. Based on the stunning Battista hyper GT, it features bespoke exterior and interior finishes, and exquisite detailing that references Nino’s racing success.
Just five examples will ever exist and the curated collection represents the second ‘design edition’ in the Battista portfolio, following the Battista Anniversario.
The unique exterior design is finished in bespoke Rosso Nino – a deep and rich red hue that pays homage to the vehicles Nino Farina drove throughout his racing career. Its intricate body and Rosso Nino paint are complemented by a special livery on the lower body, finished in Bianco Sestriere and Iconica Blu.
Inside, clients will find beautiful detailing specific to the Edizione Nino Farina, including a black anodised chassis plate with a bespoke ‘Nino Farina’ dedication, while the passenger door plate is unique to each vehicle, in celebration of a different milestone from Nino Farina’s life:
- Nino’s date and place of birth (1906 in Turin)
- First ever F1 pole position and race victory at the 1950 British Grand Prix
- Nino’s second victory in 1950 at the Swiss Grand Prix
