"As part of a series of exclusive presentations at the House of Automobili Pininfarina near the Pebble Beach golf club during Monterey Car Week, guests of the Italian brand will hear from Design Director Luca Borgogno as he shares his vision for the brand’s future design philosophy, entitled ‘PURA’," Automobili Pininfarina said in a statement.

Borgogno will be joined by Heidfeld and Rene Wollmann, Director Sports Cars who will share news highlights from the Battista’s technical development programme. 

Moreover, Borgogno and his team will also present an enhanced version of the Battista pure-electric hypercar featuring a refined front design to current and prospective clients, who are being personally invited to the company’s private residence in Monterey.

Commenting on the development, Michael Perschke, Automobili Pininfarina CEO, said, “We enjoyed a successful first appearance at Pebble Beach last year with the Battista prototype, but for 2019 our dreams become reality.  This limited-edition masterpiece is the world’s first pure-electric luxury hypercar and we look forward to presenting it in a lightly evolved form to our clients.  We have great technical insights to share and I am certain our guests will be excited to see what is coming next from our great team of designers.”
