And it also fires the starting gun for a blitz of new future models to be showcased in the coming months.

The Battista Edizione Nino Farina will be driven up the famous Goodwood Hill by former F1 star and mountain record holder Nick Heidfeld, nicknamed ‘Quick Nick’ for his fast performance, who also played a key role in Battista’s development.

Each of the five Edizione Nino Farina cars has an ‘unmistakable’ exterior design, including Rosso Nino paint with contrasting white Bianco Sestriere and blue Iconica Blu finishes, special Glorioso Gold alloy wheels and refined details, including a distinctive ’01’ image on the side of the body. is painted and not pasted.
