Automobili Pininfarina's Striking Statement: The 2025 B95
Monterey Car Week has long been a gathering for the world's most exquisite automobiles, and this year, the spotlight was undeniably on the 2025 Pininfarina B95. The iconic Italian automaker chose this grand stage to unveil a vehicle that is both a nod to classic racers and a leap into the future. Touted as the first pure-electric hyper Barchetta, the B95 beckons onlookers to appreciate the careful amalgamation of old and new. Delicately marrying Pininfarina's storied design ethos with pioneering technology, the B95 promises exclusivity, with only ten units in production, each a unique work of art.
Evolution in Design
Reflecting Pininfarina's PURA design philosophy, the B95 exhibits a dramatic silhouette that beautifully encapsulates the heritage of classic racers. Viewed from any angle, the vehicle commands attention, be it from the elegant curves of its open-top form or its muscular stance. Chief Design Officer, Dave Amantea, pointed out that the B95 is a harmonious blend of Pininfarina's rich past and its futuristic vision. The Barchetta body, a signature Pininfarina design, captures the essence of a bygone era while also incorporating groundbreaking technological features, such as the world’s first electronically adjustable aero screens inspired by vintage fighter planes.
A Technological Tour de Force
The B95 doesn't simply rely on its ravishing looks. Underneath its alluring exterior lies a powerhouse. Using the same advanced powertrain found in the Battista hyper GT, the B95 can launch from 0-60 mph in under 2 seconds and reaches speeds north of 300km/h. Complementing this is a robust 120 kWh lithium-ion battery, allowing for a rapid charge from 20-80% in a mere 25 minutes. For those curious about driving dynamics, the B95 offers five unique modes, catering to a range of driving conditions and personal preferences.
Luxury and Exclusivity
Within the realm of luxury vehicles, the 2025 Pininfarina B95 exists in a category of its own. Paolo Dellachà, CEO of Automobili Pininfarina, emphasized that each of the ten units would be distinct, highlighting the brand's commitment to delivering unique experiences to its clientele. With bespoke touches, such as anodized laser-engraved door plates and meticulously crafted interiors using sustainable luxury leather, B95 owners are not just purchasing a vehicle but a piece of history. Collaborative efforts between Automobili Pininfarina's design team and Pininfarina SpA ensure the vehicle is an embodiment of Italian craftsmanship and innovation.
Promise of the Future
What stands out about the 2025 Pininfarina B95 is its vision. While it’s deeply rooted in the brand’s storied past, it’s unmistakably focused on the future. And as Automobili Pininfarina expands its footprint, hiring talent from across the globe and integrating advanced technologies developed at its Digital Innovation Hub, one can't help but anticipate what’s next. Will it follow in the B95's tracks, marrying history with innovation? Only the roads of the future will tell.
Rewriting The Classics
