The

Pininfarina electric hypercar

has an official name now: Battista. It’s a properly Italian name for the car company affiliated with the famous Italian design studio to use on its first car. Battista is the first name of Pininfarina’s founder, Battista Farina.

With that we say goodbye to the

PF0 codename

the Italian/German car company has been using since officially launching earlier this year under new

Mahindra

ownership and HQ in Munich. As of now,

Pininfarina

is still claiming this will be the fastest and most powerful car ever designed and produced in Italy. We imagine

Ferrari

and

Lamborghini

are still grinding their gears over that statement. Power claims currently sit at 1,925 horsepower and 1,700 pound-feet of torque, leading to a claimed sub-2-second 0-60 mph time. A top speed of over 250 mph along with 300 miles of range are a couple of other impressive claims Pininfarina is making for its

electric car

.

The vehicle is going to use a

Rimac-sourced

electric powertrain and battery pack, which explains where Pininfarina is getting the outrageous performance specs. Rimac itself claims numbers that are equivalent or better than Pininfarina’s for its

Concept Two hypercar

.

Only 50 of these are set to make their way stateside, with the rest of the world sharing the other 100 that Pininfarina plans to produce. There aren’t a whole lot of people who can afford and want a $2.5 million electric car, but that’s why Pininfarina is planning on introducing a

lineup of “normal” cars

after this one debuts.

Three Pininfarina SUVs

are supposedly set to be revealed in the next five years — all of these vehicles will be electric. The teasers for the Battista are set to stop at the

Geneva Motor Show

in 2019, where the car will finally see the light of day.
