The one-off hypercar honors a concept that ended up being used as the daily driver of Pininfarina's founder.
The original Florida concept was a coupe based on the Lancia Aurelia platform. It was designed by Pininfarina founder Battista Farina, who was so fond of the design he kept it as his daily driver.
The Battista hypercar that honors the concept is known as the Cinquantacinque, and it features the same Blu Savoia Gloss body with a contrasting Bianco Sestriere Gloss roof that was used on the show car. The Cinquantacinque name, Italian for “fifty five,” is also a nod to the year the concept debuted. A “Cinquantacinque 55” script is found on the passenger door sill and on the underside of the rear wing.No mechanical changes were made to the car. The Battista uses a dedicated EV platform sourced from Rimac. It features a T-shaped battery with a capacity of 120 kwh, plus four independent motors delivering a combined 1,874 hp.
The Cinquantacinque will make its formal debut shortly in Tokyo to mark a new partnership with local distributor Sky Group.Pininfarina design chief Dave Amantea also drew inspiration from the Florida concept when developing Pininfarina's unveiled last year. The Pura Vision previews the new design language for Pininfarina's upcoming EVs, which will include a sedan, a coupe, a convertible, and an SUV.
