The Automobili Pininfarina Battista is not just a car; it is a masterpiece of automotive engineering and Italian design. With its combination of 1,900 horsepower and a blistering 0-60 mph time of just 1.79 seconds, the Battista stands as a testament to the advancements in electric vehicle technology and luxury performance. Donating this hypercar to SacraCar Share not only adds a unique asset to our fleet but also supports sustainable transportation initiatives in the Sacramento area.
As part of the donation process, we emphasize the importance of provenance through the production-number certificate, which verifies authenticity and collector value. Additionally, the battery state-of-health (SoH) disclosure is critical for maintaining the hypercar's valuation and ensuring it remains in peak condition. By choosing to donate the Battista, you are contributing to a legacy of innovation while enriching the Sacramento community.

Known issues by generation
The Pininfarina Battista shares several critical components with the Rimac C_Two platform, notably the 120 kWh H-shaped battery. It is imperative that potential donors understand the importance of the battery state-of-health (SoH) disclosure, which can significantly impact valuation. Additionally, the bespoke carbon-fiber body panels produced in Cambiano may have variability in fit and finish compared to the engineering-pure production of Rimac. It is essential to verify these details through appropriate documentation and service history to ensure the integrity of your donation.
Donation value by condition + generation
The value of the Battista is intricately linked to its production-number certificate and the condition of its battery state-of-health. A proper appraisal conducted by an IRS-qualified appraiser is necessary, especially given the car's MSRP, which exceeds $2 million. Documentation including the SoH report, bespoke-color approval letters, and original-paint verification will significantly influence market value. Auction comparables from RM Sotheby's and Bonhams will also provide essential insights for accurate assessment, with typical appraisal costs ranging from $2,500 to $7,500.
Donation process for this model
Donating a Pininfarina Battista involves several essential steps to ensure compliance with IRS regulations. An IRS-qualified appraiser, as outlined in IRS Pub 561, is mandatory to assess the vehicle's value accurately. Since the Battista exceeds the $2 million threshold, Form 8283 Section B is heavily applicable. The donation must include climate-controlled, enclosed transport to maintain battery integrity, along with all necessary documents, including the production-number certificate, battery SoH report, and proprietary service history.
Sacramento regional notes
For Sacramento residents, the availability of a specialized service network for the Battista is crucial. While Rimac service centers are located in Munich, Dubai, and Miami, Pininfarina’s Cambiano facility is also available for maintenance and repairs. This ensures that owners have access to certified specialists familiar with the vehicle's unique requirements, including climate-controlled storage and battery conditioning. Additionally, local collector-tier brokers can assist with valuation and resale.
