Autocar writers' cars of 2021: Pininfarina Battista
But what I found more compelling is that with four motors the Battista can put power to whichever wheel it wants, whenever it wants, and each wheel can have so much power, and the motor response is so fast, that it can do things that no internally combusted car can hope to do. It’s hilariously adjustable. Also, it has so much power that short straights almost cease to exist, so you’re cornering a lot of the time.
Yes, I know it’s two million quid and I know you can’t use 1900hp except in all but exceptional circumstances and that 2.2 tonnes and its two metre width makes the Battista honestly not a sports car for the road and that in the real world, the i20N and Caterham 170 are my heroes. But the Pininfarina does things no other car I’ve ever tried can do. And it’s not often you can say that.
