The level of customization of the Pininfarina was defined in close collaboration with the owner. Next, we talk about the design and its details at a mechanical level.
The Targamerica is distinguished from other Pininfarina Battista by the absence of a roof. Its design reminds us of Ferrari Testarossa Spiderthe famous V12 created especially for the Italian financier Gianni Agnelli. The Targamerica does not alter the original lines of the Pininfarina Battista, although important structural adjustments have been used to maintain the performance of the standard Battista.

The rear spoiler is preserved respecting the style of the original version, although there is a small change in the lower part since it is hand finished in Iconic Blue. In the Battista we find five-spoke alloy wheels inspired by Testarossa de Agnelliwith triangular holes near the hub, which Pininfarina engineers tested to ensure safety.
