Expected to be priced around $2 million ( ₹ 13.95 crore approx.), the Italian marque's zero-emission electric hypercar was launched in Dubai, at specialist luxury car retailer Adamas Motors showroom.
The new Battista electric hypercar is slated to enter production in the second half of 2020 at Pininfarina's Cambiano facility in Italy.
