The B95 Hyper Barchetta Concept

The B95 offers a unique interpretation of the classic Barchetta—a completely open-top vehicle with a radical and elegant style. Its design is defined by sculptural bodywork, dramatic lines, and exquisite detailing. This modern interpretation of coachbuilt automotive artistry demonstrates the advanced bespoke design, craftsmanship, and engineering capabilities of Automobili Pininfarina.

All vehicles from the brand are designed, engineered, and hand-produced in Cambiano, Italy. They embody the PURA design philosophy, which seamlessly blends classic inspiration with cutting-edge technology to create unique experiences for discerning clients. This philosophy is evident in the powerful Battista, the most powerful road-legal car ever designed and built in Italy. With 1,900 hp and 2,340 Nm of torque, the Battista accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under two seconds, delivering performance unattainable by traditional internal combustion engines.
