Most powerful road legal Italian car now available on Forza Horizon 5

For all you gamers out there, you can now get (virtually) behind the wheel of the most powerful road legal Italian car, as the Automobili Pininfarina Battista electric hyper GT has now been added to Forza Horizon 5.

The world’s first pure-electric hyper GT is faster than a current Formula 1 car and is capable (in the real world) of sprinting from 0-60mph in 1.79 seconds and 0-120mph in 4.49 seconds thanks to its 120kWh lithium-ion battery. Available to download as part of a new ‘European Automotive Car Pack’, the Battista is also configurable using multiple custom options, colours, wheel designs and bodykits.

In the game, drivers can take the Battista across open world landscapes, including deserts, jungles, historic cities, hidden ruins, pristine beaches, vast canyons and a towering snow-capped volcano. This is something even the most adventurous drivers may not be able to replicate in real life.

That’s if you are even able to even sit in one in the first place. According to Automobili Pininfarina, no more than 150 examples of the Battista will be made at its facility in Cambiano, Italy.

The Automobili Pininfarina Battista is now available for download in Forza Horizon 5, available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles.
