The Italians do convertibles so effectively. For additional proof, see this, the Pininfarina Battista Targamerica, an open-top model of the electrical hypercar, which makes its debut Thursday for Monterey Automotive week.
The Targamerica is a coach-built one-off for a particular Pininfarina consumer who already owns a Battista coupe. It isn’t the primary convertible from the fashionable Automobili Pininfarina—that will be the B95 Speedster—however it’s the first open-top Battista. It makes you marvel why the Battista wasn’t a convertible to start with.
Remarkably, it took only a yr for the Targamerica to go from conception to actuality, with the consumer comissioning the automotive at Monterey Automotive Week final yr. Its silver-with-blue-accents livery pays homage to a different one-off Pininfarina convertible, the Ferrari Testarossa Spider made for longtime Fiat scion Gianni Angelli in 1986. The rear decklid is exclusive to the Targamerica, too, as are the doorways, which within the coupe are built-in into the roof. One other notable function is a cigar humidor built-in between the seats. Apparently the consumer likes their stogies.

As a quick reminder, the Battista is the creation of Automobili Pininfarina, a German-headquartered offshoot of the legendary Italian design home, owned by India’s Mahindra. The Battista is predicated on the Rimac Nevera hypercar, and presents an astonishing 1,900 horsepower from its 4 electrical motors.
Automobili Pininfarina is exhibiting the Targamerica at The Quail on Friday, after which level the consumer will take supply. The automaker did not say whether or not it’s going to construct extra Battista convertibles, we suspect this would possibly not be the final.
