At Monterey Car Week, Automobili Pininfarina made waves by unveiling both a limited-edition Targa Battista hypercar and their latest electric hypercar: a bespoke coachbuilt model. The little village of Cambiano in Italy is the inspiration for this new hypercar. The owner wanted to really stand out and chose a more subdued color scheme, with a single shade of white covering the majority of the body.

Meanwhile, he opted for a black finish on the roof, pillars, and part of the hood, with carbon fiber accents on the front splitter and rocker panels. To complete the look, there's a detailed hand-painted map of the Cambiano area, complementing the stylized schematic of Battista's manufacturing line.

These personalized door plates are laser etched with the words "Where Everything Starts" and "Fatto Con Amore in Italia" (Made with Love in Italy). The Battista's interior is stunning, featuring the same black and white "dogtooth" pattern on the upper seats as last year's B95 Barchetta display model.

Also inside, we can see the black leather upholstery with white contrast stitching. According to Automobili Pininfarina chief design officer Dave Amantea, "this Battista holds a truly special place in the hearts of everyone at Automobili Pininfarina" due to its unique and close relationship to Cimbrone.

“We have lovingly curated a car that proudly displays the unmatched sophistication and finesse of our design heritage that stretches back almost 95 years. This unique livery celebrates the talent and dedication of our designers, engineers, and artisans, who work in Cambiano to pursue our brand vision: Dream Cars, Made Real.”
