    There are fast car and super-fast cars and then there is this- a Pininfarina’s Battista electric. This 1,874 hp. hypercar has just set the 1/4 mile record for a production car- 8.55 seconds! It also reached the 1/2 mile mark in only 13.38 seconds.

    The $2.2 million EV had already proved itself the fastest accelerating production car when it rocketed from zero to 60 mph in 1.79 seconds, to 62 mph in 1.86 seconds, 120 mph in 4.49 seconds and to 124 mph in 4.75 seconds at the Nardo test track in Italy last year.

    That 8.55-second quarter put the Battista only fractionally ahead of the Rimac Nevera, which recorded 8.58 seconds in 2021.
