After the Batista, Pininfarina’s second chapter was an elegant and classic 100% electric car dubbed the B95.
Pininfarina has just submitted a B95 At Monterey Car Week, bold and unprecedented Barchetta 100% electricity.
Following the work we have been accustomed to for nearly a century, the bodywork design cannot fail to be as elegant as Pininfarina’s most sporty and passionate creation.
coordination Barchetta It results in clear inspiration from some track machines of the past, without a roof or windshield, which reduces weight. However, this format is crossed with more futuristic concepts and ideas, resulting in the bold B95.
The simple, clean, yet futuristic lines follow the recently unveiled visual buildings The concept of pure vision. This focuses on the “beauty of simplicity”, but also on the “beauty of imperfection”, says Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina.
The B95’s style shows us slender, horizontal optical clusters, both front and back. These aerodynamic elements contrast more aggressively, such as the massive rear air intake or the lower front spoiler that is too close to the asphalt.
Immediately behind the seats, there are two bosses, which not only ensure a more sporty style, but also contribute to better aerodynamics. To match the entire range, 20-inch front and 21-degree rear wheels were chosen, with a central locking system.
elegance a Barchetta
Since it is a file BarchettaWithout a windshield, an innovative solution was created to ensure the aerodynamic protection of passengers. Of course, in such a complex model, this cannot be reduced to small glass elements.
In Pininfarina B95 there is a system that includes two small screens with electric height adjustment. these Aero screens In polycarbonate, directly inspired by the most classic fighter jets. These include the clearly visible aluminum brackets which also contribute to the B95’s more authentic design.
In case of insufficient aerodynamic protection, Pininfarina also has two helmets for B95 riders. With the particularity that the finish of these corresponds exactly to the specifications chosen for each of these models.
Pininfaria B95 is 100% electric.
the new Barchetta Being 100% electric, the first of its kind, it stands out from its peers, such as the Ferrari SP2 Monza or McLaren Elva, both of which remain faithful to the combustion engine.
What Pininfarina has more than this is power: There are 1,400 kW, which translates to 1,903 hp. Little more than the Battista, Automobili Pininfarina’s first electric supercar.
However, like this engine, the B95 uses four electric motors, one for each wheel. It also inherits from Battista a 120 kWh battery and “T” configuration, which are integrated into a carbon fiber monocoque body.
With this number, it’s easy to guess that the Pininfarina B95’s performance is… ballistic. According to the brand, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes place in less than two seconds and the top speed is over 300 km/h.
Guaranteed exclusivity
The designation B95 results from the initial of Barchetta With Pininfarina’s 95th anniversary coming in 2025. There’s still some time to go, admittedly, but this is the year the company expects to start delivering B95s to owners.
Right now, two years before the B95s see the light, Pininfarina says that of the 10 units planned for production, no two will be the same. Each one will be developed with its future owner, taking into account their tastes and ideas for this model.
Subsequently, all 10 units will be handcrafted at Pininfarina SpA’s Cambiano facility, just 20 km from the center of Turin.
If you are wondering how much each of them can cost, nobody knows the answer, because it also depends on the specifications of each one. The base price, however, is 4.4 million euros.
