Supercars are all about the numbers: the fastest acceleration, the highest top speed, the lowest weight. After all, most people will never get their hands on one — carmakers need their halo vehicles to be impressive on paper, not just in person. Luckily for Pininfarina, the company seems to have nailed that “numbers” aspect of supercar creation.
The 1,900-horsepower Pininfarina Battista is now, officially, the fastest-accelerating production car in the world. After quarter-mile tests in India, the car managed to edge out the Rimac Nevera’s blistering 8.582-second drag strip time by just a few hundredths, setting an 8.55-second record.
