Welcome to Palm Ride Exchange, where we celebrate the exquisite craftsmanship and innovative technology of the Automobili Pininfarina Battista, a modern electric hypercar representing the pinnacle of Italian automotive design. With an impressive 1900 horsepower and an all-wheel-drive quad-motor system, the Battista is built on the Rimac C_Two platform and limited to just 150 units worldwide. This rarity makes it a prized possession among collectors and enthusiasts alike, exemplifying a commitment to performance, luxury, and sustainable driving.
As a Battista donor, you will not only contribute to a noble cause but also ensure that your vehicle’s provenance is well-documented. The importance of a production-number certificate as proof of authenticity and a battery state-of-health (SoH) disclosure is paramount in preserving your vehicle's value. Together, we can elevate the appreciation for this extraordinary automotive marvel, making it accessible for future generations to admire.

Known issues by generation
The Automobili Pininfarina Battista, while a masterpiece, has specific considerations for potential donors. As with all vehicles utilizing the Rimac-supplied 120 kWh H-shaped battery pack, the state of health (SoH) is crucial, as it can significantly affect valuation—swinging by 20-40%. Owners should be aware of the bespoke bodywork, where carbon-fiber composite panel fitment may exhibit variability due to the hand-finishing process. Additional challenges may arise from the shared drive-unit and HVAC systems, which may have early-production concerns that should be confirmed with certified service centers. Proper documentation and service history are essential for maintaining collector-tier value.
Donation value by condition + generation
The market for halo-EV hypercars like the Pininfarina Battista is influenced by various factors, including the authenticity of the production-number certificate and battery state-of-health (SoH) disclosures. Valuations can fluctuate significantly based on the condition of the original paint and bespoke color programs. Compelling auction comps from RM Sotheby's, Bonhams, and Mecum are invaluable for appraisal reports. Ensure that all documentation, including the IRS Form 8283 Section B, is meticulously prepared and that a qualified appraiser is engaged, as required under IRS Pub 561, to uphold the integrity of your donation's value.
Donation process for this model
Donating your Pininfarina Battista involves essential steps to ensure a smooth and compliant process. Engaging a qualified appraiser per IRS Pub 561 is mandatory, especially given the Battista's MSRP exceeding $2M, which triggers Form 8283 Section B requirements. Enclosed transport with a climate-controlled battery-conditioning trailer is essential to protect your vehicle. Additionally, you'll need to provide the production-number certificate, battery state-of-health report, bespoke color approval letters, and manufacturer-direct service history documentation to validate your donation.
