Monterey Car Week has always been a showcase of automotive excellence, but this year’s event witnesses the dawn of a new era in the world of hypercars. Automobili Pininfarina, a name synonymous with luxury and craftsmanship, makes history with the introduction of the world’s first pure-electric, open-top hyper Barchetta, the awe-inspiring B95. This groundbreaking creation not only redefines performance and design but also pays homage to a rich heritage of classic racers.
The B95 hyper Barchetta is more than just a car; it’s a design and technology masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of innovation. The juxtaposition of its sleek, flowing open-topped bodywork against intricate technical details creates a stunning interpretation of a classic racer, all powered by the unmatched performance of pure-electric technology.
Automobili Pininfarina’s PURA design philosophy takes center stage in the B95, showcasing an elegant silhouette and dramatic proportions. This design language, previously seen in the PURA Vision concept, has been expertly translated to the B95, seamlessly blending inspiration from iconic classic race cars with futuristic elements.
This exclusive hyper Barchetta shares the stage with other Automobili Pininfarina marvels like the Battista Edizione Nino Farina hyper GT and the recently unveiled PURA Vision design concept.
With only ten examples set to be meticulously handcrafted, each B95 will be a unique work of art, a collaborative masterpiece between the Automobili Pininfarina design team in Cambiano and individual clients. This exclusivity ensures that no two B95s will be the same, adding a rare touch of individuality to the world of hypercars.
The B95’s design is a harmonious fusion of classic aesthetics and future-forward innovation. Its full-width enveloping bodywork gracefully wraps around the front fenders, creating a bold and muscular appearance. This carefully sculpted design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a testament to the precision and thoughtfulness that have gone into every aspect of the car’s creation.
From above, the unmistakable PURA design DNA shines through. The cabin space is defined by a surrounding loop that incorporates adjustable aero screens, seats, and domes behind each passenger. This design element establishes a clear connection with the PURA Vision concept, reinforcing the continuity and vision of the brand.
The B95 offers a thrilling open-top driving experience, elevated by the world’s first electronically adjustable aero screens. Inspired by vintage fighter planes, these clear polycarbonate screens are as much a work of art as they are functional, seamlessly blending design and comfort. Clients can even order bespoke helmets, coordinating with their B95’s specifications, ensuring a safe and exhilarating experience on both road and track.
The B95’s exterior is a study in contrasts, with metallic Bronzo Superga finish contrasting with Giallo Arneis gloss sections. Exposed Signature Carbon detailing adds a technical and sculptural touch, while 20″ front and 21″ rear forged aluminum wheels provide a dynamic stance. The interior, an exquisite blend of classic race car aesthetics and futuristic design, envelops occupants in comfort and sophistication.
The sculptural carbon-fiber dashboard and Tan Sustainable Luxury Leather upholstery create a sense of harmony and elegance. Seats, inspired by classic racers, curve around occupants, offering both comfort and protection. Unique aluminum inserts and Pied de Poule Houndstooth Luxury Textile headrests add a touch of exclusivity.
The heart of the B95 is its state-of-the-art powertrain, delivering astonishing performance. Accelerating from 0-60mph in less than 2 seconds and boasting a top speed of over 300km/h, this pure-electric hyper Barchetta is a force to be reckoned with. Its high-capacity 120 kWh lithium-ion battery, paired with four independent high-performance electric motors, generates peak power of 1400 kW (1900 PS).
The Automobili Pininfarina B95 isn’t just a hypercar; it’s a testament to a new era in electric mobility. Developed by a team of experts from around the world, this masterpiece represents a harmonious blend of Italian craftsmanship, German innovation, and global expertise. With only ten examples set to be handcrafted, the B95 heralds a new dawn for luxury, performance, and individuality in the world of hypercars.
As we eagerly await the dawn of 2025, when these limited-run masterpieces will hit the roads, the B95 stands as a testament to human ingenuity, craftsmanship, and the relentless pursuit of automotive excellence.
