Sim race enthusiasts worldwide can now experience the thrill of the groundbreaking electric hyper GT, the Automobili Pininfarina Battista, courtesy of the Forza Motorsport video game series. Available as a free download in the latest update, it marks the first time the Automobili Pininfarina brand appears, and the Battista as a playable car in multiplayer modes, in Forza Motorsport.

The Pininfarina Battista will feature as a Spotlight Reward Vehicle (between 14-21 December on Xbox Series X|S and PC versions) where players can purchase the vehicle with in-game credits, and race in the ‘Contemporary Tour’ events within Career mode.

It will also feature in two of Forza Motorsport’s multiplayer modes: ‘Multiplayer’ and ‘Rivals’. After this ‘Spotlight’ period, the car will still remain available to Motorsport enthusiasts.

Battista accelerates faster than a Formula One, with 0-60mph achieved in 1.79s, 0-100km/h completed in 1.86s, 0-120mph executed in 4.49s and 0-200 km/h covered in just 4.75 seconds.
