Battista Reversario - One-of-a-Kind Commission
Automobili Pininfarina has completed the Battista Reversario, which took its inspiration from the Battista Anniversario and the idea of balance. This is the most unusual commission that the company has ever completed. "Dream Cars. Made Real" is the concept of Automobili Pininfarina, which aims to co-curate genuinely one-of-a-kind automobiles with its customers. This car represents the culmination of that idea.
Every single one of the hand-crafted automobiles that leave the Cambiano studio of Automobili Pininfarina is a one-of-a-kind testament to the individuality of each and every customer. Battista Reversario is a prime example of this, since it illustrates the level of sophistication that is offered to customers in terms of customisation.
In the process of designing the Battista Reversario, the customer collaborated with the designers of Automobili Pininfarina to produce a one-of-a-kind automobile that will never be constructed again. Already included in the client's collection of automobiles is the fifth Battista Anniversario model, which is part of a limited run of five identical models.
One of the most prominent characteristics of the Battista Reversario is its colour palette, which was designed to be the opposite of the distinctive Pininfarina heritage-inspired design concept that was characteristic of the Anniversario. The top body is finished in Grigio Antonelliano gloss, while the bottom body is completed in Bianco Sestriere shine after it is finished.
Pinstripes are consistent with the upper stripe, which is characteristic of Iconica Blu. This is a continuation of the motif that was used in the prior model. The carbon side wings and the bottom of the active rear wing each have bespoke inscriptions, which include the vehicle's distinctive 'Reversario' moniker. These inscriptions are visible both forward and 'in reflection' on the carbon side wings.
The inside of the Pilota seats is upholstered with a quilt made of Alcantara that is white on white and has a perforated backdrop in Iconica Blu. Despite the fact that the majority of the inside is black, including the unique chassis plate that has been anodized in black, there are highlights throughout the cabin that are finished in Iconica Blu. These accents include the cupholder retainer, the headliner centre bezel, and the seatbelts.
Additionally, the commissioning client's lifestyle is reflected in the distinctive three-piece baggage set that is included with the Reversario line of luggage. Its briefcase, weekend holdall, and suit bag are all completed in black leather, and they are accented with Iconica Blu trimming and an off-white Alcantara patchwork. This collection is the epitome of the perfect lifestyle collection.
The client of Reversario commented: “Anniversario and Reversario were destined to be created by the Automobili Pininfarina team. I simply challenged them to understand what could be created if you follow your heart and passion. All credit goes to them. The twins are complete and total perfection that has never been achieved by the automotive world. Not only do they have legacy and pedigree, where they bear the name and indelible mark of the world’s greatest car designer, they also complement each other as mirror images. The twins are and forever will be associated with love perfected. The twins can never be separated because they are truly unified in design.”
Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, added: “Reversario was the ultimate commission. Taking inspiration from the original Anniversario, it is a reflection in every aspect, using a timeless combination of colours to create an opposite that works alone and together. This is a vehicle that is the greatest expression of our ‘Dream Cars. Made Real.’ philosophy, to date.”
In the year 2020, Battista Anniversario was introduced as a means of commemorating the ninetieth anniversary of the establishment of the illustrious Pininfarina coach building and design firm by Battista "Pinin" Farina. At any given time, there were only five available.
The Battista Reversario, much like the Anniversario, is the most powerful road-legal Italian automobile ever produced. Cutting-edge technology powers the motor that powers it. The world's first super GT that is powered only by electric propulsion makes use of a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 120 kWh, which is housed within a carbon fibre casing that is both sturdy and lightweight.
Its T-shaped liquid-cooled battery pack is mounted centrally behind the seats to ensure a low centre of gravity, and it is equipped with four independent high-performance electric motors, one of which drives each wheel. Additionally, it features Full Torque Vectoring, Electronic Stability Control, and a software differential, which enables drivers to customise the power delivery and handling responses in a manner that has never been possible before.
From 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.79 seconds, from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 1.86 seconds, from 0 to 120 miles per hour in 4.49 seconds, and from 0 to 200 kilometres per hour in under 4.75 seconds, Battista's one-of-a-kind launch control technology contributes to the phenomenal acceleration that Formula One cars are capable of.
The Battista blends the athleticism of a hypercar with the cruising range and sumptuous cabin of a classic GT. It also comes equipped with all-wheel drive and a selection of five driving modes that allow the driver to customise the driving characteristics. These modes are Calma, Pura, Energica, Furiosa, and Carattere.
