A new hypercar, badged Automobilia Pininfarina, means that founder Battista Farina’s dream of having his own car brand finally becomes reality, after 88 years
Design house Pininfarina and Indian automotive giant Mahindra have joined forces to launch a new car brand, Automobili Pininfarina, with plans to launch an all-electric hypercar in 2020 – the 90th anniversary of Pininfarina.
The new car will achieve 0-62mph in under 2 seconds, 0-186mph (300km/h) in under 12 seconds and will have a top speed of 250mph. Crucially it will also have a 310 mile (500km) range.
Power and weight figures haven’t been confirmed but unofficially there is talk of up to 2000bhp and under 2000kg. It will be four-wheel-drive, with an electric motor at each wheel, and the batteries located mostly in the central tunnel, rather than under the floor, which would compromise the height of the car.
