Pininfarina Battista is an electric supercar and Sachin drove it around a track. He wrote, “Are EVs the future?” Sachin further said, “It was so fast, we defied time and landed in future.” He also congratulated Anand Mahindra and his team for the car.

The highly acclaimed Italian design house – Pininfarina is owned by Mahindra and Mahindra. During the Formula E Grand Prix event at Hyderabad, Pininfarina showcased the car and the launch of the vehicle is likely to follow soon. The Pininfarina Battista is one rare supercar made by a firm owned by an Indian. The Battista was never launched in the Indian market.

The Pininfarina Battista is powered by four e-motors that together produce a massive 1,900 PS of peak power and 2,300 Nm of peak torque. It is almost twice as fast as most supercars. The electric supercar can do 0-200 km/h in just 4.75 seconds and can achieve 300 km/h in just 12 seconds!

Pininfarina claims that the Battista can deliver a range of 476 km from its 120 kWh battery back. The charging system is also ultra-fast. The car can go from 20 percent charge to 80 percent in under 25 minutes using the 180 kW superchargers. The car will cost around Rs 20 crore in India.

Sachin owns Porsche Techart

While Sachin Tendulkar has owned an expansive garage of supercars in the past, he currently owns a couple of Porsche Techart models. He is often spotted in his Porsche 992 Turbo S Techart. The 992 Turbo S looks like a standard 911 but look closely and you would be able to spot the differences. It is much more powerful and more aggressive than the regular 911. The Turbo S is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6-cylinder petrol engine that has a capacity of 3.8-litres. It puts out 650 PS of max power and a massive 800 Nm of peak torque.

Sachin Tendulkar also owns a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S with the Techart kit. He bought the SUV back in 2021. The Porsche Cayenne Turbo is currently the top-spec variant of the lineup of Cayenne in India. This full-blown variant of the SUV packs in several sport-oriented features and performance upgrades, which make it one of the most driver-oriented SUVs money can buy in India.

Sachin has also owned other expensive sports cars such as Nissan GT-R, BMW i8, BMW X5M, BMW 7-Series Li and Ferrari 360 Modena. A while ago, posted a picture of him with his Maruti 800 on social media saying that he misses his first vehicle and wants it back.
