In a statement after setting the record, Sorabjee expressed, “Nothing prepares you for the brutal acceleration and pace of the Battista. It’s like being shot from a cannon.”
“Equally amazing is the ease with which the Battista hit its top speed, within just half a straight of NATRAX’s high-speed track. Even at VMax, the Battista felt rock solid, relaxed and discreet. This is the future of speed,” he added.
“Just the lightning-fast acceleration and the glued-to-the-ground feel made me feel so absolutely confident to keep my foot planted to the floor.”
For those who are curious, let us tell you, the Battista already had several other epic World records to its name before such as:
0-60mph (96kph) in 1.79sec,
0-100kph in 1.86sec,
0-120mph (192kph) in 4.49sec and
0-200kph in 4.75sec.
Apart from it, Battista also holds the global braking record for EVs at 100-0kph in 31 metres.
“We were very proud to bring Battista to India for the first time. Collaborative events there with our shareholder Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd were delivered at a significant time for Automobili Pininfarina,” said Automobili Pininfarina CEO Paolo Dellacha.
“For Hormazd and his Autocar India team to showcase what is possible with Battista in their hands is hugely important. In these tests, Battista has shown that record-breaking performance is there to be enjoyed by every driver on road or track.”
