Pininfarina Battista 1900hp EV hypercar - the most powerful Italian car ever? | Fully Charged 4K 

Eric Wadge I think a burn out will require new tyres though.

Well said👌🌏 and just showing how fun zero emission transport can be love the engineering. We drive a i3 all electric it has a carbon tube' I often think mmmm if BMW put a extra motor in the back there is loads of space and 1 up front it would make the old tin toxic ice look so yesterday! Thank you Buzz☮

It is damn pretty, almost show's how lost Ferrari is without them. In my quite strong opinion, every Ferrari since the firing of Pininfarina has been an absolute tragedy.

this will save ICE and hybrid super cars. so people who really wanted them can have them just for enjoyment. like horses moved from transport to leisure

It depends how far this ev Supercars can actually go. Will they be able to go 1 hours at their max in speed and acelleration/deceleration without huge problems? It seems to me today hybrid propulsion is still the apex in cars. Full electric need a lot of experience...

Yeah, the shiny hypercars is all very nice, but we want long-range vans. Really boring long-range vans with 180kWh batteries. Slightly worrying there are 75 people with far too much money so they'll drop 2 million on this. 150millions euros could get you a lot of bike lanes, bus subsidy, wind turbines, housing retrofit. i.e stuff that might actually save us all, as opposed to pointless wank hypercars which definitely won't. Those people with the conspicuous consumption are the same ones that take 50 flights a year, live in stupidly big and inefficient houses and buy way too much crap, all resulting epic climate change. We have to make them stop somehow.

Ford announced a Transit BEV, finally, but yet again it's for 2021. Hopefully not fitted with a power (shit) gearbox!

@@xxwookey I'm with Dutch historian Rutger Bregman's solution, tax the beejeesus out of them... ;-)

Unfortunately you just cant make a practical HGV battery powered yet. If Lithium-air batteries get sorted them maybe they would work but Lithium-ion etc are too heavy for a given amount of capacity. Basically we are already at 90% of the theoretical limit. Diesel has an energy density of 40MJ per litre. The engines are 50% efficient (peak) and the drive train is about 80% efficient so 40% actually get's to the wheels (about 16MJ from each litre) That will get you approximately 2.5 miles. So on average you need 6.4MJ per mile on average (this is assuming about 10 miles per UK gallon). A single LIon cell weights 45G and will have a capacity of 2.5AH for high discharge types. That's basically 3.7V*2.5Ax3600s=33.3kJ so you would need 193 of them to get 1 mile or 19,300 for a 100 mile journey. They weigh 45g each so that's 868kg of them just to do 100 miles. On a longer run, say 500 miles you would need 4.3 tonnes just of batteries. Plus of course all the heavy duty wiring and battery holders and other mechanical gubbins. All up 6 tonnes is my best guess as a design engineer and this is assuming a 100% efficient drive train. In reality it would be 85%+ efficient so nearer 7 tonnes). For the same journey using diesel you would need about 220kg of diesel. OK the engine and gearbox would weigh more than the motors in the electric system, but not by more than about 0.5 tonnes. So as well as being more expensive it would have at best 85% of the cargo capacity and way longer turn round rimes IE a 300kWH battery takes 40 mins for 80% this would take three times that. IE two hours to add 400 miles of range. Just not practical for HGVs at the moment.

Gordon Lawrence, Tesla have been seen road testing their two different goods vehicles; the ones with the 500+ mile range, 2 MWh battery, and a 0-80% recharge in a driver's statutory break.

and then find out they won't even sell it to you because you not on some list somewhere or it sold out.

@@DavidKnowles0 Christ too true, probably worth being on the list and waiting I'd imagine

Just wait about 20 Years anyone will be able to get one of these cars they will be cheap enough

More like “barista” but ok.

I read the title and had to go watch Guardians of the Galaxy again.

make me some tea also

@Will Johnson 400 volts boils the water pretty quickly.

and no-one ever used the word again until now.

Yes, in such a short time being able to do these kinds of things.

It's the "Oh CRAP!" Moment for all the "let's buy high priced ICE cars for investment" brigade.

send an email to Toyota... "I want a PLUG IN Prius !!!"

We have had 2 Prius, the present one a 2012 PHEV. We are now on the waiting list for a Kia eNero. If there was a BEV Prius, we would probably have gone for that, buuuut........Sorry Toyota, you missed the bus. EMBARRASSING! And "Self charging hybrid"? SERIOUSLY? You just lost the plot of the story that YOU started writing. . .

It's fckn retarded! Anyone that knows an ounce of physics knows that energy has to come from somewhere - the fuel. In the same kind of marketing wank thinking, I have a self charging electric car - it charges when i brake.

Seems like he Left Early if he was working on 800v Porsche system. Smart man.

@@Neojhun very smart man

@@noahbowie5985 If he was that early and saw Faraday Future Had No Future. Then left because of his foresight. Then he truly is very smart man.

@@Neojhun Faraday Future is the most annoying company because it just won't die.

@@noahbowie5985 Oh it's dead, just a very hard Zombie to fully bury. Not sure if anyone even wants to buy it's Assets.

In the USA we had square cars, in the UK they had the square steering wheel. What they all had in common: they were designed by idiots.

@@Trainmaster909 Haha brilliant and true

Tesla has higher top speed similar acceleration. And whats impressive is roadster will be a mass production car. You can expect better practicality functional car.

Yeah, I don't get it. Similar/better performance stats on the roadster, double the range, Auto Drive and 10% of the price (the non-founders additional). Roadster wins all day.

🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Mclaren F1 is the fastest naturally aspirated car ever built. The technology had to change to forced induction and now electric to keep pushing the envelope.

Pininfarina is a design company.

Yes (and I am not one of the people that can have one of these cars unfortunately). But these kind of cars are important because the bleeding edge tech that is too expensive for "normal" cars at the beginning tends to trickle down to more "normal"/affordable cars once they have master the tech and managed to make it more affordable. So while I can only look at this cars I am happy to see this happening.

Who cares

Go Block indians apparently 🤣

Thats how it is isn't it. Like their contribution to World Wars are never mentioned anywhere.

Achchaaaaa , issse zyada mileage degi (will it give more mileage if they mention it )😱😲

@@SSchithFoo dude that time india was under british control and were not given freedom check the history instead of talking any nonsense..

Does it? Those are the stated stats which may be more like goals at this point. I know they have a prototype or two around but I have to wonder how close they really are to their claimed stats. Not to downplay what Tesla has done and continue to do but they do have a history of over-promising on the timeline.

@harry camper - Don't get me wrong... I want Tesla to succeed. Big Oil has held far too much power over most of us for far too long. It's time to let someone else beat us up for a while... :-) Anyway, the Pinifarina will always be a unicorn. The new Roadster will not be cheap but it will be in range for a great many more buyers. I like where the automotive industry is heading. They may be kicking and screaming as they are dragged into the future, but thanks to Musk, they are indeed headed that way.

@@MarcCoteMusic Musk claimed Tesla's Roadster 2 figures were conservative and indicative of the "base model" car. And that the Founder Series car and subsequent iterations could be considerably faster. At US$250k it's also 1/8 the price of this car.

Marc Coté Emile Bouret, the test driver for the Roadster who has also worked for Ferrari, Audi, Top Gear, etc etc. has stated they’ve achieved those numbers and aren’t hypothetical. Also, that’s the base model.

@@Mari0o0o We will see how it goes with the Roadster. For now this is quite the handsome car. And the more Ev's the better.

Maybe to few editors on check? They have to release a few episodes shot in the Netherlands from last year too. I guess they just got so big and there is so much news to cover. But the episodes they do release are very good in every sense. Only Autogefhul has the same clarity of speech on motor shows besides Fully Charged. Most others are terrible.

the extra is for not having uneven large panel gaps and cheap vynil

The Roadster will put them all out of business.

There's a market for both of them. Roadster for the Corvette crowd an the other for the Rolls Royce an Ferrari crowd. Given its unique nature an limited run will be good for the brand.

@@tusambolo sure, as much as the Nissan GTR put out of business the likes of Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini, Porsche, etc...

Actually Automobili Pininfarina is Mahindra owned brand (in fact they created it) with nothing to do with Ferrari!!

2nd3rd1st I agree! Both this Pinafarina and the Tesla Roadsters are phenomenal technological achievements that show fossil fuel is heading to history. Both rich people’s toys out of the reach of most, but at an eighth of the price, it just shows how amazing the Tesla Roadster will be also.

Ah so you missed the bit where he said the limiting factor was the tyres.

He'll be the Track Coach on Rimac C_Two sister car. No joke his profile picture is on the Infotainment system.

airheart1 The Porsche Taycan exists and will become one of the industry leaders, with tech trickling down to VW/Skoda/Seat.

CARPERVERT you got one? Anyone you know got one? LoL.. it exists alright.. currently in dreams. When you get one.. you let me know. No one even F’n knows what the car is gonna look like yet. You GOT to be F’n kidding me. We already know what the model Y will look like over a year away. The Porsche is a f’n joke. Just like the Etron from their sister Audi... pathetic. Yeah the Taycan will be a better effort than the etron.. but still a joke. The Porsche junkies will buy it.. great. Better than buying another ICE... but the Taycan will hold 0 place in history as any leap forward. And it will barely sell as many as Model S around the world. Just watch. Now if they had actually built the Mission E that they showed... well.. I might actually cut them some slack on some things.. but considering, what we've seen doesn't look much like the Mission E.. it's not even close to as good looking. Well, anyone who wants a Taycan can have it. I'm not trading my wheels for that thing. I'm not driving on a track.. and it doesn't have half the tech I've come to expect. The charge speed will be nice.. if it doesn't fry the battery in a few years.. and if you can find a charger to actually hit the speeds they claim.

Oooooo Matron!

@@rogerstarkey5390 Carry on charging?

Rex Venom 😂 😂 mad man

Dude......like yer style....

Don't be. Everything we have now in our own cars started in the most expensive cars. Camera on the back? Now you can have it on a Dacia. And so many other things. If the tech is made for those hyper cars it will be tested, getting cheaper and used for mass production after a while.

not to mention: Tesla is already giving away over 80 Roadsters for free to people who have gotten enough credits to the referral program, while Pininfarina is only gonna make 150 in total. Think about that!

Yes, they are taking over global battery production. Driving price down.

I understand that Tesla is way ahead technically, but it seems they are even beating them on engineering costs, build costs and other ancillary costs. Its bizzare.. the cost/price ratio is crazy and these older houses still do not understand what is hitting them,all seemingly, in slow-motion.

@@ade-ade they appear to be waiting for others to take all the risks in adopting a new tech. Not all businesses believe in being at the forefront seeing as R&D is expensive and the market isn't proven yet. I believe all who wait will be eliminated however, I look forward to the upheaval. Like you said, in slow motion..

To the Victor the spoils then.. We are living in interesting times, Chinese sayings aside, and this is how companies are made... and lost..

Two reasons: 1) Pininfarina are only making 150 of these. They can't spread the development costs out over many thousands of cars like Tesla can. 2) Pininfarina want to make money, so they are charging as much as they can. Tesla want to build market share so they are charging as little as they can.

@harry camper that's the thinking of the stinking poor. And amusingly, who can afford a Tesla is one that buys the 10$ banana at wholefoods anyway.

Imagine being enough of a low-life to publicly scrutinize people you have never met, generalize them all in the same self-made stereotype and insult them for no apparent reason whatsoever. You can say whatever the fuck you want about the Tesla crowd since that is a cult of its own, but the amount of ego that you need to possess to say sh like ''thinking of the stinking poor'' and ''smelly crowd''. Would neck myself if I was such a pitiful miserable dickwad, but I guess some people just stroke their ''superiority'' and feel no shame in doing that.
