Automobili Pininfarina Unveils the B95: The World’s First Fully Electric Open-Top Barchetta
Automobili Pininfarina is writing an exciting new chapter in its illustrious history with the debut of the world’s first fully electric open-top Barchetta, the stunning new B95, at Monterey Car Week.
Revolutionary Electric Supercar Design
The all-electric B95 Barchetta stands as a masterpiece of design and technology. Its sleek, open-body silhouette is perfectly balanced by exquisite artistic details, delivering a breathtaking interpretation of a classic racing car elevated by cutting-edge electric performance.
PURA Design Philosophy Brought to Life
Automobili Pininfarina’s PURA design philosophy is characterized by elegant lines and harmonious proportions, a concept previously showcased in the recently revealed PURA Vision concept. These principles are now seamlessly embodied in the new B95, blending iconic classic racing inspirations with futuristic elements while remaining true to the PURA ethos.
Debuting at Monterey Car Week Alongside Automotive Icons
The B95 will make its world premiere at Monterey Car Week this August, sharing the spotlight with the Battista Edizione Nino Farina hypercar—first unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July—and the innovative PURA Vision concept.
CEO Paolo Dellachà on the B95 Launch
Paolo Dellachà, CEO of Automobili Pininfarina, commented on the event: “This major milestone marks the most thrilling chapter in Automobili Pininfarina’s journey so far. The launch of the B95 is our third significant highlight this summer, following the world debut of the Battista Edizione Nino Farina—a tribute to the nephew of Pininfarina’s founder, a legendary racing driver and the first Formula 1 World Champion.”
“The unveiling of the PURA Vision concept established a new design language for all our future models across various segments. Now, the new Barchetta brings this vision to life, connecting the past to the future by fusing essential elements of classic racing cars with the latest innovative technologies, materials, and manufacturing processes.”
“The B95 delivers the same exhilarating power as the Battista, but offers an entirely new dimension of driving pleasure. As the world’s first of its kind, it will captivate car enthusiasts seeking the ultimate open-air electric performance experience.”
Limited Edition: A Unique Collector’s Masterpiece
Production of the B95 will begin in 2025, coinciding with the 95th anniversary of Pininfarina SpA. The ‘B’ in its name stands for Barchetta, combined with the number to form the distinctive name: Automobili Pininfarina B95.
Only ten units of this extraordinary vehicle will be produced, each meticulously personalized in collaboration between Automobili Pininfarina’s design team in Cambiano and the individual client. Every B95 is crafted to be a true one-of-a-kind masterpiece. The exclusive show car for the Monterey debut was designed by Automobili Pininfarina’s team and hand-built by the experts at Pininfarina SpA in Cambiano.
Strategic Partnership for Exceptional Craftsmanship
Paolo Dellachà added: “We are presenting the unique B95 for the first time in Monterey. Our partnership with the renowned design house Pininfarina SpA, whose expertise has shaped some of the world’s most prestigious luxury cars, ensures the highest standards of craftsmanship. We look forward to continuing this close strategic collaboration in the years to come.”
