As a potential donor of the esteemed Automobili Pininfarina Battista in Idaho, you're part of a unique legacy in the world of hypercars. This car is not just a marvel of engineering but a testament to Italian craftsmanship, with only 150 units ever produced. The Battista boasts a staggering 1900 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of just 1.79 seconds, making it a true collector’s item. Typically, Battista donors are passionate connoisseurs who appreciate the blend of Rimac's cutting-edge technology and Pininfarina's rich design heritage.
In this donation process, it’s essential to ensure that all documentation reflects the vehicle's authenticity and pedigree. The production-number certificate acts as provenance, while the battery state-of-health (SoH) disclosure ensures that your contribution retains its collector-value. Understanding these aspects will help ensure the value and integrity of both your contribution and Idaho Wheels Forward's mission.
📖Generation guide
Battista • 2022+
The Battista represents Pininfarina's first foray as a direct OEM, signaling a shift from design to manufacturing while maintaining exquisite attention to detail. With 1900hp and a 0-60 mph time of 1.79 seconds, it’s a hypercar like no other.
Battista Anniversario • 2022+
Limited to just 5 units, the Anniversario variant showcases the pinnacle of Pininfarina's design with enhanced performance and bespoke features, commanding a premium in the collector market.
Edizione Nino Farina • 2022+
Another exclusive variant with only 5 units produced, this version pays homage to Pininfarina's racing heritage, appealing to both collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Known issues by generation
The Battista inherits some of the complexities associated with its Rimac-supplied 120 kWh H-shaped battery, including state-of-health (SoH) disclosure which is crucial for collectors to understand. Variabilities in panel fitment and paint quality may occur due to Pininfarina's bespoke coachbuilding practices. Additionally, early-production models may face HVAC battery-cooling glycol-loop issues, which should be considered in overall valuation. These known issues highlight the importance of diligent documentation, including service records from certified Rimac and Pininfarina facilities, to preserve value.
Donation value by condition + generation
The value of a Battista can fluctuate significantly based on its condition and documentation. A production-number certificate, along with a thorough battery state-of-health (SoH) report, is essential for substantiating its collector status. Any deviation in battery condition can swing valuation by 20-40%. Original paint and bespoke color approvals add further value, while auction comparables from RM Sotheby's, Bonhams, and Mecum serve as critical benchmarks for Form 8283 Section B for IRS appraisal. Engaging a qualified appraiser, as mandated by IRS Pub 561, is non-negotiable, often requiring an investment of $2500-7500 for an accurate assessment.
Donation process for this model
Donating your Battista involves several key steps to ensure compliance with IRS regulations and maximize the vehicle’s value. Engaging a qualified appraiser, as delineated in IRS Pub 561, is mandatory, especially considering the Battista’s MSRP exceeds $2 million. You will need to complete IRS Form 8283 Section B, which underscores the importance of enclosed transport in a climate-controlled battery-conditioning trailer. All essential documents, including production-number certificate, battery SoH report, bespoke color approval letters, and service-history receipts, must be meticulously prepared to substantiate your donation.
Idaho regional notes
