Meet the car that is faster than a Formula One race car—the 1900 Bhp hyper EV, Pininfarina Battista
This ladies and gentleman, is the newest hyper electric car that boasts of exhilarating prowess and claims to be the most powerful road-legal car ever to come out of Italy. Powering this beast is a Rimac-sourced 120kWh lithium-ion battery pack that has the ability to churn out 1,900bhp and a massive 2,300Nm of peak torque, accelerating from 0 to 100kmph in less than two seconds. To put this into perspective, it’s faster than the current lot of Formula One race cars.
