The competition for the world’s quickest production car has been fierce in recent years and has been decided by just a few tents of a second. This time, however, the new champion has an even smaller advantage over the previous record-holder. We are talking about just 0.03 seconds in the quarter-mile discipline.
Without further ado – the Pininfarina Battista registered a quarter-mile time of 8.55 seconds thus beating the Rimac Nevera, which did 8.58 in April 2021. The fully electric Battista also covered the half-mile distance in 13.38 seconds at Indore’s Natrax facility in India. The event was also attended by our colleagues from Autocar India Hormazd Sorabjee and Renuka Kirpalani who joined the Italian brand’s Performance, Test, and Validation Team including test driver Stefano Costa. A video from the event is attached at the top of this page.
