Take a closer look at the Pininfarina Battista,

which can hit 60 mph in under 2 seconds.

Proof of possibilities for EVs:

It packs 1,900 horsepower.

[I never saw any mention of range, although Old Crank did.]

The Italian firm will only make 150 Battistas, and each start at 2.2 million euros. [No assembly line, rare & stillI unique, & the name, of course, & yes, the leather]

The EV marries monstrous power with otherworldly acceleration and wraps that all up in an elegant, leather-bound package.

The Pininfarina Battista.

Buyers can customize their Battista in practically endless combinations, the company says.

[Be sure to check out the photos, including the 1 showing the bottom of the front bumper too low to make it over a driveway curb.]

Much like the rest of the automotive world, supercars are going electric.

And will be charged someday in a trans-pallet ferry while traveling across our country in a transparent tube with the driver watching the countryside, TV and/or napping 😴

Assuming not in the top power mode.

As for how low the body is many cars like that have lifts built in to raise them a bit for slow speed driving.

Pretty much insane to buy one or drive one on the street. But we get the occasional Lambo in our neck of the woods and it is no more sensible.

"Your surroundings start flying by faster than your brain can process. It's what I imagine pilots feel like as they launch off an aircraft carrier".

Perfect for our streets. Pilots who operate with these accelerations train for years and undergo constant evaluation for fitness.

Of course, you can do plenty of damage with a '67 Beetle too.
