    Pininfarina Battista Hypercar Gets A Facelift Before It Goes On Sale

    Back in March, the EV hypercar from Pininfarina called the Battista was officially revealed and now just three months later, it has been given a “facelift”.

    The car hasn’t even gone on sale yet but it has undergone some changes due to further aerodynamic testing conducted after the car’s initial debut.

    Though the changes are subtle, there are a lot of them. The front bumper-mounted vent strip spanning the gap between the front headlights has been closed off, while the black cowl shroud has grown a pair of fangs along the fenders. The lower front grille area has been reshaped, and the side mirrors have been totally redesigned.

    The electric hypercar was re-revealed in Turin where it was confirmed that just 150 units of the 1,900 HP (1,397 KW) creation will be built.

    They are saying that the Battista’s design is now finalized and that it will move into the next phase of simulated testing before going to an actual wind tunnel.

    Finally, it’ll be put to the test on the track under the guidance of ex-Formula 1 driver turned Pininfarina development shoe Nick Heidfeld before customer deliveries begin.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
