The Battista rockets from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in a staggering 1.86 seconds. That’s faster than most fossil-fuel supercars—including the Bugatti Chiron and Koenigsegg Jesko—making it one of the quickest cars ever built.

Powered by four independent electric motors—one for each wheel—the Battista delivers 1,900 hp and 2,300 Nm (1,696 lb-ft) of torque. With a top speed over 350 km/h (217 mph), it’s a true powerhouse on wheels.

Electric cars are silent—except the Battista isn’t. Pininfarina worked with musicians to craft a distinctive sound signature, enhancing the sense of speed and drama without resorting to artificial engine noises.
#2: Sustainable Luxury Inside

Behind the Battista’s breathtaking performance is Croatian tech wizardry. The car’s powertrain comes from Rimac Automobili, the same company behind the Rimac Nevera. It’s a perfect marriage of Italian design and cutting-edge Croatian engineering.
