B95
First revealed during Monterey Car Week, the breath-taking B95 is the first pure-electric, open-top hyper Barchetta ever built. It is a design and technology limited edition icon ā the simplicity of its flowing open-topped bodywork contrasts with exquisite technical details to provide a dramatic interpretation of a classic racer, underpinned by pure-electric performance. This masterpiece has beenĀ designed by the Automobili Pininfarina Design team and in collaboration with Pininfarina SpA, developed and hand-crafted in Cambiano by a team of artisans.
Handcrafting and deliveries of this limited-run masterpiece will begin in 2025, marking the 95thĀ anniversary of Pininfarina SpA. The ‘B’ in its name stands for Barchetta, both elements combined creating the name Automobili PininfarinaĀ B95.
Automobili Pininfarina’s PURA design philosophy expresses an elegant silhouette and dramatic proportions, as demonstrated by the recently unveiled PURA Vision concept. The principles established here have been translated for B95, balancing inspiration from iconic classic race cars with futuristic elements.
It is powered by the same state-of-the-art powertrain that delivers breath-taking performance in the Battista hyper GT, but with a unique tune for such a bespoke vehicle. Accelerating from 0-60mph in less than 2 seconds, B95 has a top speed of more than 300km/h.
