The luxury automotive world has just seen the unveiling of a significant development with the opening of Automobili Pininfarina’s new brand and retail galleria in Celadna, Czech Republic.
The initiative of Automobili Pininfarina in collaboration with FURIOSA s.r.o., marks a strategic expansion in Central Europe, catering to high-end clients from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, and Poland.
A Carefully Chosen Location
The Celadna galleria is situated in an idyllic location within the extensive grounds of the Miura Art Hotel, a renowned luxury resort in the Beskydy mountain range. The resort is known for its stunning architecture and prestigious art collection, making it a fitting backdrop for showcasing Automobili Pininfarina’s masterpieces of automotive design. The location is enhanced with its own heliport and proximity to international airports, ensuring easy accessibility for a global clientele.
An Immersive Luxury Experience
Automobili Pininfarina Celadna is not just a showroom; it is a purpose-built space designed to offer an unparalleled luxury automotive experience. Clients are invited to collaborate with highly-trained experts in creating their personalized Battista hyper GT or B95 hyper Barchetta. This bespoke process ensures that every vehicle is a unique work of art, tailored to the exacting specifications of its owner.
Celebrating Success and Recognition
The opening of the Celadna galleria coincides with a notable accolade for Automobili Pininfarina. The Battista Edizione Nino Farina has been named ‘Best Hypercar’ by the prestigious luxury lifestyle publication, Robb Report Monaco and Côte d’Azur. This recognition underscores the brand’s position at the pinnacle of automotive design and performance.
Statements from Key Figures
Paolo Dellacha, Chief Executive Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, expressed his excitement about this new venture: “The opening of an all-new and purpose-built retail galleria in Celadna represents a fantastic opportunity to us.
Richard Kucik, founder of FURIOSA s.r.o., echoed these sentiments, saying, “Our passion for design, art, and craftsmanship, coupled with our innovative vision, is what sets us apart. We are elated to introduce the Automobili Pininfarina Celadna galleria at the prestigious Miura Art Hotel, nestled in the heart of Europe. Central Europe is a rapidly growing market, and we are eager to showcase this exceptional fusion of nature, art, and luxury, all energized by the innovative spirit of Automobili Pininfarina. Our goal is to captivate our clients, enabling them to customize their Battista into a masterpiece of automotive art.”
Global Expansion and Client Personalization
The Celadna galleria is the latest addition to Automobili Pininfarina’s network of retail partners, bringing the global total to 26. Each partner is selected for their ability to deliver exceptional personal service and attention to detail, essential for the brand’s unique client personalization offering.
Clients at Automobili Pininfarina Celadna will work directly with the Chief Design Officer and design team to ensure that every element of their vehicle’s specification is meticulously considered. This bespoke tailoring process extends beyond color choices, upholstery, and trims, allowing for minor bodywork changes or even entirely new vehicle designs, bringing each client’s vision to life.
Battista: The Pinnacle of Automotive Innovation
The Battista hypercar exemplifies Automobili Pininfarina’s commitment to innovation and performance. As the most powerful car ever designed and built in Italy, it boasts a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of under two seconds, faster than a current Formula 1 race car. With 1,900 hp and 2,340 Nm of torque, the Battista offers extreme engineering and cutting-edge technology in a zero-emissions package. Its 120 kWh battery powers four electric motors, providing a combined WLTP range of up to 476 km on a single charge. Each Battista is individually hand-crafted at the atelier in Cambiano, Italy, with a limited production run of just 150 units.
A Vision for the Future
Automobili Pininfarina’s latest achievements and the opening of the Celadna galleria reflect the brand’s unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation. With a focus on creating unparalleled luxury experiences and pushing the boundaries of automotive design, Automobili Pininfarina continues to lead the way in the high-performance luxury hypercar market.
This strategic expansion into Central Europe, combined with the brand’s dedication to bespoke craftsmanship and client personalization, ensures that Automobili Pininfarina will remain a driving force in the luxury automotive industry for years to come.
