Welcome to Lancaster Motor Gifts, where we celebrate the pinnacle of automotive engineering with your potential donation of the Automobili Pininfarina Battista. This Italian hypercar, limited to just 150 units, boasts a staggering 1,900 horsepower and 0-60 mph in just 1.79 seconds, making it a true collector's item. Donating this masterpiece not only supports our local community but also preserves the legacy of innovative vehicle design and engineering.
The Battista, built at the Automobili Pininfarina facility in Cambiano, Italy, marks a significant pivot from the classic design house to a direct OEM hypercar manufacturer under Mahindra Group ownership. With its bespoke carbon-fiber body and high-performance specifications, the Battista is a testament to Italian craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. Essential to the donation process is the emphasis on production-number certification and battery state-of-health (SoH) disclosure to ensure its authenticity and value.

Known issues by generation
While the Automobili Pininfarina Battista showcases exceptional technology, potential donors should be aware of specific issues that relate to its Rimac-supplied components. The shared 120 kWh H-shaped battery pack can exhibit state-of-health (SoH) variations, impacting overall valuation significantly—up to 40%. Furthermore, as a bespoke coachbuilt hypercar, the Battista may experience panel fitment and finish variability compared to its Rimac counterparts, necessitating special care for any repairs or resprays. Ensuring proper service history from authorized Rimac or Pininfarina centers is essential for maintaining its value and authenticity.
Donation value by condition + generation
As a halo-EV-hypercar, the Pininfarina Battista's value can fluctuate greatly based on condition, provenance, and documentation. The required production-number certificate serves as vital provenance, while a thorough battery state-of-health (SoH) report can swing valuations by 20-40%. Maintaining original paint and securing bespoke-color approval letters can also enhance its status in the collector market. When considering a donation, utilize auction comparables from RM Sotheby's, Bonhams, and Mecum for accurate appraisal—mandatory for IRS Form 8283 Section B and compliance with IRS Pub 561, which necessitates qualified appraisals ranging from $2,500 to $7,500.
Donation process for this model
To donate your Pininfarina Battista, ensure a qualified appraisal in accordance with IRS Pub 561 is completed. Given its MSRP exceeds $2M, completing Form 8283 Section B is imperative. The donation process mandates enclosed transport in a climate-controlled trailer for battery maintenance. Additionally, securing the production-number certificate, battery SoH report, bespoke-color approval letters, and comprehensive service history documentation is crucial to affirm the car’s provenance and value.
