The new temple of speed in India has served as a venue for the Pininfarina Battista to become the fastest road legal production car in the world's second-most populous country. Autocar India improved its own record by dethroning an Audi R8 V10 Plus they drove to 206.4 mph (332.2 km/h) in 2016 on a closed section of a new road. This time around, it was easier since the top speed attempt took place on a high-speed test track at the Natrax complex.
Seven miles (11.3 kilometers) long and with four lanes, it's one of the biggest high-speed test tracks in the world. It was the perfect venue for the Battista to stretch its legs and reach an impressive velocity of 222.4 mph (358.03 km/h). Mind you, the electric hypercar hit its electronic top speed limiter, but it could've gone even faster if the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires had not been a limiting factor.
