Mahindra-owned Automobili Pininfarina came into existence in April this year. The sole purpose of the new brand is to develop and manufacture luxurious electric hypercar and the first one in the list is PF0 concept as the company will release design sketches at the upcoming Monterey Car Week next month. The Munich-based company will present its business and product plans to prospective retailer partners, clients and media in New York this week. We are quite excited with what the Mahindra-owned Automobili Pininfarina will showcase in the near future as the company, upon its debut, had announced that it will offer a range of extremely luxurious and high-performance EV cars designed and built in a close partnership with Pininfarina SpA.
Michael Perschke, CEO, Automobili Pininfarina said, "Automobili Pininfarina is a pioneering new business created to service the most discerning clients in the world. Our product portfolio will launch with an innovative, zero-emissions hypercar that represents the progression we aim to make at the pinnacle of the luxury and sports car market."
Michael Perschke and the new Automobili Pininfarina management team will deliver a range of vehicles offering design purity, emotional appeal and innovative EV technology to customers worldwide. According to the company, in less than two years, Perschke and his team will present the first customer with a car of unmatched performance and unprecedented heritage. The company had earlier announced that its first 'Electric Hypercar' will arrive in 2020.
The electric hypercar we are talking about is most likely be a Grand Lusso or Grand Luxury. This luxurious electric hypercar will come with Level 3 autonomous driving system and will be capable of hitting the 100kmph mark in just 2 seconds and the 300kmph mark in under 12 seconds. Moreover, the electric hypercar will come with a top speed of 400kmph and will be able to travel 500kms on a single charge. The electric hypercar will most likely cost around 2 million Euros.
Moreover, the company has also tempted some significant talents to move to Munich with experience from brands such as Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Ferrari, Jaguar Land Rover, Maserati, McLaren Automotive and Volvo. Among the most notable members include - Per Svantesson from Volvo, Dan Connell joins from Jaguar Land Rover, Marcus Korbach from Bugatti and Paolo Dellacha from Ferrari.
