Pininfarina has launched the Battista Targamerica reached a new level of exclusivity. The Italians are known for building breathtakingly elegant convertibles, and the Targamerica proves once again why this is so. The very special model, an open version of the already fierce electric hypercar Battista, celebrated its debut at the Monterey Car Week.
Pininfarina Battista Targamerica
The Targamerica is a bespoke example, developed especially for a Pininfarina customer who already had a Battista Coupé and wanted something even more extravagant. Although Automobili Pininfarina, the subsidiary of the Italian design house, had already built the B95 Speedster Convertible As presented, the Targamerica is the first Battista model without a roof. However, one also wonders why the Battista was not planned as a convertible from the beginning?
What is impressive is the fact that it only took a year for the idea of the Targamerica to become reality. The order was only placed in 2023 during the Monterey Car Week. And the silver paintwork with blue accents is reminiscent of another “special” Pininfarina convertible: the Ferrari Testarossa Spider, which was built in 1986 for Fiat heir Gianni Agnelli. The rear lid of the Targamerica is also a special feature, as are the doors, which are integrated into the roof of the coupé. And another detail is a cigar humidor, which is installed between the seats - an indication of the customer's preferences.
the basis is the Rimac Nevera
Reminder: Based on the Rimac Nevera, the Battista delivers an incredible 1.900 horsepower, generated by four electric motors. Automobili Pininfarina is presenting the Targamerica today at "The Quail" event. The vehicle will then be officially handed over to the customer. It is currently unclear whether Pininfarina will build further Battista convertibles, but it would not be surprising if this is not the last of its kind.
