The competition for EV hypercars is heating up as Automobili Pininfarina unveils the Batista.

In a press release, Italian design firm Automobili Pininfarina announced new details of the Batista, an electric hypercar with 1,900 brake power; according to Autocar, the Battista's 0-62 mph time is under 2 seconds and its top speed is 217 mph, according to the company. However, since the Battista's starting price is $2.5 million, most buyers will probably opt for the Tesla.

Automobili Pininfarina is the Italian design firm behind iconic cars such as the Ferrari Testarossa and Alfa Romeo Giulietta.

Underneath the Batista is everything a multi-million dollar hypercar needs. These include what the company calls "exquisitely crafted" black Exposed Signature carbon bodywork at its manufacturing facility in Cambiano, Italy, and precision-polished Impulso forged aluminum-alloy wheels. In the interior, "optional Pilota seats finished in quilted Iconica Blue Alcantara with sustainable black leather and contrast stitching in Iconica Blue are complemented by a black anodized brushed aluminum interior jewelry pack complemented by ".

Pininfarina also touts the Batista's "unique soundscape." According to the flowery language in the press release, "The individual sounds are tailored to create an emotional response in occupants and onlookers, ensuring that the Battista offers an intoxicating experience for the senses."

The soundscape has a central low ringing frequency of 54 Hz, "an organic frequency that is a multiple of 432 Hz, known as the 'A of Verdi' invented by the famous Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi."

Without getting into complicated music theory, tuning the A note at 432 Hz as opposed to 440 Hz allows all the notes to be spaced apart in a way that is considered more mathematically correct Youtuber Adam Neely has a great video that explains it all He has a great video explaining it all. There are also apps that detune music down to 432 Hz for a more perfect frequency.

Design-wise, Battista is not as impressive as Lotus Evija or Rimac Nevera. In some ways, the design looks like a larger mid-2000s Lotus Elise. Battista's battery pack was designed by the Formula-e racing team of Rimac and Tech Mahindra. Pininfarina claims that the Batista's 0-100 km/h acceleration is faster than an F1 racing car; the four electric motors are powered by a 120 kWh battery and have a range of 310 miles based on Europe's new Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure The range, based on Europe's new Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure, is 310 miles.
