To say this thing is slightly deranged might be a little bit of an understatement.

What we're looking at here is what Pininfarina calls the world's first pure electric luxury hyper GT.

It will go up against the likes of the forthcoming Rimac concept, too.

It says the Roadster hybrids like the McClaren speed sale on def.

We're talking about power.

I don't know God.

I think I'll get straight to the numbers because everything else kind of pales into insignificance.

Power 1900 horses Talk 2300 Newton meters emissions None.

It's difficult to wrap your head around those kinds of numbers, but I'll put it another way.

This is a road car with almost twice the power of a Formula One racing car more than three times the talk of a McLaren F one on dhe.

Same environmental footprint as a Nissan leaf.

Now Pininfarina saying acceleration is going to be savage north to 60 in under two seconds.

That's F one level of acceleration North 486 miles per hour will take 12 seconds quicker than McClaren speed sale on Don't have a V Mac's just north of 217 miles per hour.

You just don't see those kinds of numbers on a normal road car.

There's a reason for that.

They're just not possible using an internal combustion engine, Pininfarina say.

If you want this kind of acceleration, you have to go in it under the skin.

They have used a big T shaped lithium manganese nickel battery pack with a 120 kilowatt hour capacity supplied by the guys and girls at Rumack.

It's essentially the same unit you get in a rematch concept.

To Andi, it's big enough for a range of 450 kilometers.

That battery pack feeds electrons to four separate electric motors, one for each wheel.

As you'd expect, this allows for torque vectoring.

The car can intelligently send more or less power to each wheel independently to aid handling or hypothetically, switch between rear wheel drive and all wheel drive to suit your taste.

Those motors deliver instant talk.

So much talk and so instantly that most of this car's driving modes actually limit the amount of talk you have available in order to give the driver a little bit of thinking space before the car launches you into the next post code.

As for noise, well, they're promising.

It won't be completely silent.

Pininfarina say you'll not only hear the motors, but they're also working on an artificial sound that fits the car's personality.

Think Tron two point.

Oh, those motors also provide an element of energy recuperation through breaking.

But Pininfarina hasn't cheats out on the traditional breaks here.

They've installed massive 390 millimeter carbon ceramic disks attached to six port calipers, so the Batista should stop Justus violently as it accelerates.

I wanted to get the numbers out of the way first because they're so ludicrous.

But design is very important because design is what Pininfarina is most famous for.

The company made its name styling some of the most iconic cars on the planet, not to mention a few not so iconic ones.

If you remember the high end, I'm matrix, you know what I'm talking about?

Pininfarina has kept the finest piece of design for themselves, though this thing is genuinely stunning.

There's a lot going on here.

I can almost see little bits of Ferrari influenced towards the front.

Maybe a touch of McClaren 7 20?

Yes, in this teardrop shaped roof section on Dhe, I can almost see a little bit of BMW I ate here, going on towards the rear.

The body is made entirely of carbon fibre, on top of which we have this sweeping teardrop shaped glass canopy.

At the front, you'll see a single dynamic led light strip between the headlights used as a D R l and indicator below, which you find a smattering of passive aerodynamic extras at beside.

The designers have gone for quite essential but well sculpted look, let's start with these wing mirrors now.

These are actually functional Aargh devices.

They funnel air along the side of the car and into these vents feeding radiators.

Air also flows over the top of the car and onto this flip rear spoiler.

Naturally, this is an active unit that provides three levels of downforce and also acts as an air brake.

Now let's talk doors.

This wouldn't be a pure electric luxury high for GT if it didn't have silly doors, right.

Luckily, this has some of the silliest in the business.

Check this out.

Butterfly doors Very cool.

And these are hinged on the roof itself to give you an even larger opening to help you get in and out more easily.

Speaking of which, be rude not to Oh, yes, I could get used to this.

Screens everywhere.

Leather, lots of buttons.

I want a press.

The whole thing is designed around the Vanishing Point concept.

Now, I don't know exactly what that means, but I can see is that there are three primary displays on the left hand side.

We have a screen showing where you're driving dynamics and car settings.

On the right hand side, you have your media on your set now and in the center, or your vital information, including your gears and what speed you're doing.

As for buttons, well, it's a very minimalist design.

There aren't too many in here, but on the left hand side you do get a drive mode selector, which can let you select Pura Logica on the most violent motive.

All Furioso Plus in the center you have your gear selector switch essentially, which puts you in drive neutral park.

We'll reverse the whole thing upholstery wise can be customized to within an inch of this car's life, which is another carrot that Pininfarina is dangling in front of prospective buyers.

Pininfarina objective with the Batista is to create a blank canvas and work with customers to create something that reflects their individual personalities.

You'll probably never see two Batista's that look the same, but they should all look incredibly cool.

Whether it's this Matt Gray with blue accents and aluminium detailing, that's my favorite, or the Pininfarina blue with chrome highlights.

Actually, that's my favorite.

Or the pure pearlescent went classic, understated, striking on Also my favorite.

It's all very lovely, Anil.

Very exclusive.

As you might expect, only 100 and 50 examples will be built, which means that by the time the cars released in 2020 many of us might actually get a chance to see one in the carbon.

We should be a massive shame, because it is.

It's just beautiful now, in terms of pricing.

Pininfarina haven't yet announced the figure, but if you gotta ask, you might be better off shopping around for something like a BMW three alone.
