Some simply staggering stats for what is the most powerful road legal car ever made, unveiled at Geneva. A beauty too.
Total power is rated 1873bhp, with a staggering 1697lb ft of torque available at a standstill, enabling the Battista to hit 62mph in ‘under 2 seconds’ and 186mph in under 12 seconds. Pininfarina quote an estimated top speed of 217mph. And it's all electric.

That’s still slower than an McLaren F1, konigsegg ageria and CCR, Saleen s7, ultimate aero,
It’s only just on par with an aventador! Mind you that acceleration is ridiculous, as is that BHP I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/ Current: TD5 '110 "Lucinda" Thread here: https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic62562.html |

Amazing. Top speed quoted as “more than 250 mph” and “280 miles on one charge”. Although I doubt you’d get that if you were caning it. Still incredible and it’s early days for the technology.

Astonishing performance. How do they get that performance and a range of 280miles? James

I would imagine the huge batteries give lots of current if required but have a large capacity so will go on for a long time too.
You'll only be able to have one or the other, just as with a combustion engines - power or economy not both  2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

I suppose you have to wonder if anyone who can afford one will ever be driving 280miles in it? Also, bar a track, there’s nowhere on earth where real-life use would allow a 280mile drive flat out. Not even Autobahns have stretches of unlimited that long. Or are empty enough. Sure the lucky sod/soddess will be fine.  Monsieur Le Grenadier
