house Pininfarina is forging ahead with its ambition to become a pioneering luxury brand. The new Battista has been given a limited edition make-over even before it goes on sale. Just five of the projected 150 Battistas will be this special Anniversario model, with a bit of added visual drama inside and out. Expect prices to be around $2.9m.Sri Lanka’s first homegrown supercar has skipped the petrol stage altogether and gone straight to electrification.
At the same time as revealing the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut – the Swedish niche manufacturer’s fastest-ever car – the company also sprung the surprise debut of the Gemera model, its first four-seater. Mating a compact petrol engine with three electric motors, the Gemera will put the frighteners up companies like Bugatti and Lamborghini. It achieves all this without being especially over the top. The price, on the other hand, is expected to be around $1.7m.
