Automobili Pininfarina

Although there’s a history stretching back decades, Automobili Pininfarina is technically a new automaker, having only been officially launched as a startup in 2018. But its roots go back to the early 1930s when Battista Farina founded an Italian car design firm and coachbuilder called Pininfarina SpA; for more than 90 years, the company built bodies for automakers like Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Cadillac, Lancia, and Rolls-Royce - and had a hand in designing around 200 Ferrari models.

Battista Farina’s dream was to see road-going cars with the Pininfarina logo on them, and in 2015, the multinational Indian corporation, Mahindra Group, acquired the company. Three years later, it was announced that Automobili Pininfarina would produce ultra-low-volume, zero-emission luxury hypercars. Partnering with the likes of Rimac Automobili for EV powertrains and battery tech, Automobili Pininfarina revealed their first electric hypercar, the 1,887-horsepower Battista, at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.
