Sachin Tendulkar took the first test drive of the recently launched Automobili Pininfarina Battista electric hypercar in India. Impressed by this drive, Sachin wrote a few words in praise of it on Twitter, after which Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra was so impressed by a line written by Sachin that he called this line the perfect tagline for Battista.
Sachin wrote in his tweet, “Pininfarina Batista has ‘Is there an EV future?’ was the perfect answer. It was very fast, we defied time and landed in the future! (we defied time and landed in the future!) A spectacular achievement by Anand Mahindra and his team. Glad to see the automobile.”

Let us tell you that the Battista electric car has been launched in Mahindra India at an initial price of Rs 19.45 crore. It can go up to 476 kilometers in a single charge. The body of the car is made of carbon fiber.
The Battista EV gets a 120 kWh lithium-ion battery. It has been said that this car can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 1.86 seconds. At the same time, it takes only 4.75 seconds to catch the speed of 0 to 200 kilometers per hour. Braking is also decent as it can be claimed to stop in 31 meters from 100 to 0 speed.
