Pininfarina

The Pininfarina Battista, the first hypercar from the storied design house, has had its front end redesigned before going into production. Pininfarina says it has evolved the "purity and beauty of front surfaces" in response to aerodynamic testing. The automaker claims the revisions provide a "greater visual connection between front and back". The U-shaped element running between the Battista's headlights has been removed, as have the ducts around the headlamps.

The Pininfarina PF1 crossover will use a platform from Rivian, a start-up electric carmaker based in Detroit. "Work has started on the PF1 and right now, we are in the process of finalising the design," Pawan Goenka, managing director of Mahindra, owner of Pininfarina, told Autocar India. The magazine understands Pininfarina's new crossover will use Rivian's skateboard platform and associated technologies.

With the unveiling of the PF0 just days away, Pininfarina has unveiled one final set of teasers for its first own-brand vehicle. The sketches give us a better idea of the car's exterior design, and our first look at the car's cabin, which is a stripped back space with what appears to be luxury-inspired trimmings. There are two screens flanking the car's steering wheel, with a smaller display ahead of the driver showing speed and next-turn instructions.
