#CruisingPeachy DREAM CARS, MADE REAL: AUTOMOBILI PININFARINA TO PREMIERE CLIENT-COMMISSIONED COACH-BUILT MASTERPIECE AT MONTEREY CAR WEEK

The world premiere of an exquisite coach-built client masterpiece will mark the return of Automobili Pininfarina to Monterey Car Week later this month.

A unique sculptural statement, the all-new 'one-of-one' vehicle is the ultimate future collectable combining design and engineering integrity with bespoke artisanal craftsmanship. The clearest illustration yet of Automobili Pininfarina's guiding philosophy and brand promise, 'Dream Cars, Made Real', it is a vision realised without compromise.

Monterey Car Week 2024 teaser

Developed through an intimate collaboration between Automobili Pininfarina's design team and the client, before being hand-crafted by its skilled artisans in Cambiano, Italy, it is a celebration of purity and timeless design.

Once displayed, this design masterpiece will be transported to its owner in North America. Full details of the car will be revealed in due course, though a subtle hint of its ultra-luxury design and highly personal specification has been revealed through a single image released today.

Paolo Dellachà, Chief Executive Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, said: "Delivering our first coach-built creation to a client is an exceptionally exciting milestone for the brand. With it, we are delivering on the promise we made in Monterey exactly 12 months ago as we unveiled the B95 Hyper Barchetta – that we have the design, engineering and artisan production skills in Cambiano, Italy to create bespoke, coach-built 'one-of-one' masterpieces for our clients. One year later, this amazing car gives us another chance to celebrate our ability to make their dreams come true."

Automobili Pininfarina will also be staging a Battista Owners' Parade for the first time as part of Monterey Car Week. With up to 10 vehicles scheduled to take part, the event illustrates how the client ownership experience is constantly evolving.

This year marks the fifth time that Automobili Pininfarina has exhibited at Monterey Car Week, testament to the venue's prestige and quality as a showcase for the brand's exceptional vehicles. Last year saw the debut of the B95 Hyper Barchetta, and the PURA Vision design concept, which previews the future design language of the marque.

For 2024, Automobili Pininfarina's design team worked with the client – a renowned collector of priceless vehicles, and existing Battista owner – to inspire and create an entirely new vehicle to ensure their car stands out as a design and technical statement.

This is the latest example of the highly specialised coach-building that has been part of the brand's proud heritage since 1930, and continues to be so, creating exquisite and priceless automotive works of art for discerning clients – the next Pininfarina icons of the future.

ABOUT AUTOMOBILI PININFARINA BATTISTA

Battista is the most powerful car ever designed and built in Italy and it delivers a level of performance that is unachievable today in any road-legal sports car featuring internal combustion engine technology. Faster than a current Formula 1 race car in its 0 -100 km/h sub-two second sprint, and with 1,900 hp and 2,340 Nm torque on tap, the Battista combines extreme engineering and technology in a zero emissions package. Battista's 120 kWh battery provides power to four electric motors – one at each wheel – with a combined WLTP range of up to 476 km (U.S. combined EPA: 300 miles) on a single charge. No more than 150 examples of Battista will be individually hand-crafted at the atelier in Cambiano, Italy.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
