Automobili Pininfarina has partnered with Rimac to use the electric hypercar maker’s powertrain and battery tech in its upcoming PF0 hypercar. The fledgling car maker claims the PF0 hyper GT will arrive with power and torque equal to 1,926hp and 2,305Nm, for a potential top speed of over 402kph. It will be capable of going from standstill to 100kph in “less than two seconds”, while delivering a “potential zero emissions range of over 483km”.
Those figures tally with Rimac’s recently revealed C_Two, which produces 1,913hp from four electric motors and can achieve 0-96.5kph in 1.85sec. The partnership will see Rimac provide its battery and drivetrain expertise through both hardware and software.
The announcement follows an earlier scoop by our sister publication, Autocar UK, which revealed the PF0 would use modular underpinnings co-developed by the Croatian electric supercar maker and the Mahindra Racing Formula E team.
A maximum of 150 examples will be produced and sold globally after it launches in 2020.
Previously released sketches have previewed the car's all-carbon design from the rear and interior, showing a minimalist and driver-focused layout for the two-seater.
Further details have yet to be revealed, but the production car will be priced to compete with the hypercar elite, including the Bugatti Chiron. It'll act as a halo product, being the first of several all-electric models in Automobili Pininfarina's product plan.
