Beyond Anniversario: The Breathtaking Evolution of the Battista
Automobili Pininfarina has unveiled a truly remarkable feat of design and personalisation – the Battista Reversario. This hypercar is a bespoke masterpiece, the inverse twin of the Battista Anniversario, and an embodiment to Pininfarina’s “Dream Cars. Made Real” philosophy.
A Canvas for Personal Expression
Every Pininfarina creation reflects the owner’s personality. Indeed, the Reversario exemplifies this perfectly. A discerning collector, already the proud owner of the fifth Anniversario, collaborated closely with Pininfarina designers. In fact, together they forged a one-of-a-kind hypercar, ensuring it will never be replicated.
A Tale Told in Two Tones
The Reversario’s striking colour scheme immediately grabs your attention. Undoubtedly a deliberate inversion of the Anniversario’s heritage-inspired theme. The lower body is a sleek Bianco Sestriere gloss, while the upper body exudes drama in Grigio Antonelliano gloss.
The twin theme continues with a touch of mirroring, specifically in the pinstripes that echo the Anniversario’s upper stripe in signature Iconica Blu. Bespoke inscriptions, including the “Reversario” nameplate, adorn both the carbon side wings and the underside of the active rear wing, creating a captivating display of mirrored reflections.
Luxury Redefined for the Senses
Step inside and experience a masterclass in understated elegance. Pilota seats boast a white-on-white Alcantara quilting, accented with perforated Iconica Blu details. The cabin primarily features sleek black, including a black anodised chassis plate. However, pops of Iconica Blu on the cupholder retainer, headliner centre bezel, and seatbelts add a touch of personality, injecting a vibrant energy into the space.
Completing the picture is a bespoke three-piece luggage set crafted in black leather, trimmed with Iconica Blu edging and an off-white Alcantara quilt – the ultimate lifestyle companion for the discerning driver.
A Labour of Love
The Reversario’s owner perfectly captures the essence of this project: “Anniversario and Reversario were destined to be created by Pininfarina. They represent the perfect union of legacy and passion, forever linked as mirror images – a testament to love perfected.”
The Art of Reflection
Dave Amantea, Pininfarina’s Chief Design Officer, echoes this sentiment. “The Reversario is the ultimate reflection of the Anniversario. It uses a timeless colour scheme to create an opposite that works both alone and together.”
A Legacy Unmatched
The Battista Anniversario, launched in 2020 to celebrate 90 years of Pininfarina’s design legacy, was limited to just five units. The Reversario inherits this legacy and performance.
Electric Hyper Power
Just like the Anniversario, the Reversario is a force to be reckoned with, boasting the title of the most powerful road-legal Italian car ever made. Its state-of-the-art electric powertrain features a high-capacity 120 kWh lithium-ion battery housed in a lightweight carbon fibre chassis.
Four independent high-performance electric motors, one for each wheel, deliver unparalleled power and handling. Tailor your driving experience with five modes: Calma, Pura, Energica, Furiosa, and Carattere. And hold on tight – launch control technology catapults you from 0-60 mph in a mind-blowing 1.79 seconds.
The Pinnacle of Personalisation
For us, the Battista Reversario is proof of the power of collaboration, and a celebration of automotive artistry. But what do you think? Is the Battista Reversario the ultimate expression of automotive personalisation? Share your thoughts below.
