Automobili Pininfarina Battista Novantacinque

CAMBIANO – 3 JUNE 2025 — In a powerful statement of heritage, craftsmanship, and vision, Automobili Pininfarina has revealed the Battista Novantacinque, a one-of-a-kind hyper GT created to commemorate the 95th anniversary of the legendary Italian design house, Pininfarina SpA.

Unveiled at the Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile (MAUTO) in Turin—the historic birthplace of Pininfarina—the Battista Novantacinque took centre stage during a special public exhibition held from 22–24 May. The exclusive event celebrated nearly a century of innovation and artistry, showcasing the car as both a culmination of legacy and a symbol of the brand’s forward-looking ethos.

As the final model in the Battista series, the Novantacinque not only marks the end of a remarkable era but also solidifies its place as a future collector’s icon. With Battista production concluding at the end of this year and only a handful ever produced, the singular Novantacinque stands as a testament to the Automobili Pininfarina mantra: Dream Cars, Made Real.

A Timeless Masterpiece

Paolo Dellachà, CEO of Automobili Pininfarina, described the car as “the pinnacle of bespoke luxury and performance.” He added, “The Battista Novantacinque is a tribute to Pininfarina’s past, present, and future—a timeless masterpiece created to honour 95 years of design excellence. It is only befitting that the Novantacinque is the final expression of the Battista line.”

Design Born of Passion and Precision

Finished in Exposed Signature Carbon Tinted Rosso Gloss, the Novantacinque wears its Italian roots with pride. The deep crimson hue—symbolising passion, speed, and emotion—is accentuated by a bespoke livery in PURA Vision Gold Paint Gloss and Nero Torino Gloss, with a gold pinstripe drawn from the exclusive Furiosa Pack. The model name ‘Novantacinque’ is elegantly inscribed on the rear wing, highlighting its commemorative nature.

Iconico wheels in Precision Polished Colourless with Black Channel Matt detailing, alongside black brake callipers and brushed aluminium anodised accents, add both contrast and depth to the hyper GT’s commanding presence.

Luxury Inside and Out

The interior of the Battista Novantacinque is a study in elegance and immersion. Pilota seats, upholstered in a refined mix of Black Leather and Black Alcantara, are complemented by duotone Black and Gold stitching that mirrors the car’s exterior themes. Gold-embroidered ‘95’ logos on the knee pads and unique celebratory chassis and door plates reinforce the car’s bespoke status.

Refined materials like Exposed Signature Carbon Satin and anodised aluminium in Gold and Black underscore the car’s elevated craftsmanship. Custom-machined rotary controls and bespoke interior details complete the ensemble, making every interaction a tactile celebration of Italian design.

An Exclusive Legacy

With the Battista Novantacinque, Automobili Pininfarina offers more than a hyper GT—it offers a piece of history. Each vehicle created by the marque reflects its client’s vision through a bespoke process honed by Italian artisans. This latest creation is the embodiment of that philosophy: a vehicle that honours the past while shaping the future.

As the curtain closes on the Battista chapter, the Novantacinque stands as a definitive final act—one that will be admired and remembered for generations.
