In addition to a one-off Targa version of the Battista hypercar
Automobili Pininfarina unveiled its latest coachbuilt version of the electric hypercar at Monterey Car Week
The car celebrates the small Italian town of Cambiano
While some other Battista models have been built with dramatic paint schemes
the owner of this car decided to keep things relatively restrained
opting for most of the panels to be finished in a simple shade of white
while carbon fiber is visible on the front splitter and rocker panels

The underside of the car’s rear wing is particularly special
It includes an intricate hand-painted map of the Cambiano region with a stylized schematic of the Battista’s production line
Custom door plates are also featured with similar imagery and have been laser engraved with scripts reading ‘Where Everything Starts’ and ‘Fatto Con Amore in Italia,’ which translates to Made with Love in Italy
The Battista’s interior is also rather special. Featured on the top section of the seats is the same black and white ‘dogtooth’ design as found on last year’s B95 Barchetta show car
The rest of the cabin is finished in black leather with white contrast stitching
“With its unique and intimate connection to Cambiano, this Battista holds a truly special place in the heart of everyone at Automobili Pininfarina,” Automobili Pininfarina chief design officer Dave Amantea said
“We have lovingly curated a car that proudly displays the unmatched sophistication and finesse of our design heritage that stretches back almost 95 years
This unique livery celebrates the talent and dedication of our designers
who work in Cambiano to pursue our brand vision: Dream Cars
Last week’s festivities in Monterey weren’t only special for Pininfarina because they served as the debut of the Battista Targamerica but also because the brand hosted its first-ever Battista Owners’ Parade

Automobili Pininfarina uses fine materials
and incredible personalization to create electric hypercars that combine futurism with traditional automotive excellence
and yet another example of its expertise has surfaced
Alongside the Batman-inspired Pininfarina Battista B95 Gotham and the coachbuilt Pininfarina Battista Targamerica
unveiled as a finale to Automobili Pininfarina’s presence at Monterey Car Week
is ‘A Piece of Cambiano in California.’ Its name and inspiration are drawn from Automobili Pininfarina’s Italian hometown
where each groundbreaking yet traditionally inspired Pininfarina electric hypercar is crafted
Its bespoke touches include a livery on the underside of the active rear wing

Ledger XRP (XRPL) is preparing for a significant breakthrough: the developers of RippleX have announced an update that revolutionizes the transaction fee system.
With an increase in the minimum cost from 10 drops to 200 drops
the stated goal is to improve the overall performance of the network and offer a smoother experience to users
The XRP Ledger is known for its fast, secure transactions at extremely low costs. Until today, the minimum cost for a transaction was set at 10 drops of XRP
an amount that has helped make the XRPL one of the most economical blockchain networks in terms of usage
with the increase in global adoption and the intensification of traffic on the network
play a crucial role in preventing spam and ensuring the sustainability of the system
The update proposed by RippleX represents a significant increase
raising the minimum cost from 10 drops (equivalent to 0.00001 XRP) to 200 drops (0.0002 XRP)
the increase aims to improve the network’s resilience against abusive transactions and to encourage a more responsible use of resources
The adjustment of the fees will have an impact on several fronts
considering that the fees remain among the lowest in the blockchain sector.
for developers and companies building applications on the XRPL network
the increase might require a review of cost models and usage strategies
this move represents a step forward towards greater efficiency
in line with Ripple’s vision of promoting a decentralized
the division responsible for the development of the XRP Ledger
emphasizes that the increase in fees is not an isolated decision
It is part of a broader strategy aimed at ensuring that the ledger remains competitive in an increasingly crowded blockchain landscape
the XRPL faces increasing challenges in terms of scalability and resource management
is configured as a proactive response to these needs
The transition from 10 to 200 drops marks a key moment for the Ledger XRP
which once again proves capable of adapting to the needs of a rapidly evolving sector.
Although initially the increase in fees may raise concerns
it is evident that it is a measure designed to protect the integrity of the network and ensure an optimal user experience
The developers of RippleX are demonstrating a forward-thinking approach
This update lays a solid foundation for the future of the XRPL ecosystem
consolidating its role as a reference infrastructure for advanced financial and blockchain applications

The first official photos of Pininfarina’s Cambiano concept car are out in the open ahead of its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show thanks to the folks over at Italian car magazine Quattroruote
When Pininfarina first announced the Cambiano, it made word of a sedan model but the teaser pictures that followed clearly showed a two-door coupe
the Cambiano study is both a coupe and a sports sedan
To elaborate, on the driver’s side, the concept has one large door while on the passenger’s side Pininfarina opted for a suicide door solution and also eliminated the center pillar to afford better entry and exit to all seating positions.
which was inspired by Pininfarina’s 1957 Lancia Florida II
is matched by a minimalistic interior with seating for four
while other highlights include the glass roof and wood trimmed floors
The GT model measures a little over five meters in length (196.9-in.) and 2 meters in width (78.7-in.)
while it tips the scales at 1,700kg (3,748 pounds)
It is a range extended electric vehicle with power coming from four 60kw (80hp) electric motors
A diesel turbine engine located up front works like a generator to recharge the batteries
the Cambiano accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 4.2 seconds and can reach a top speed of 275km/h (186mph)
It’s batteries offer a driving range in excess of 200km
If you call the likes of the Mercedes-Benz CLS a “four-door coupe”, then what would you name Pininfarina’s 2012 Geneva Motor Show Cambiano Concept that is a sports coupe with a single door on the driver’s side but a saloon with two doors and no central pillar on the passenger side
Pininfarina doesn’t have a name for it yet but the Italian design company says the Cambiano represents a new approach to the GT segment
Named after the Italian town where the Pininfarina Group is headquartered
the Cambiano measures a generous 5,040mm long
It can seat four-passengers and has a boot capacity of 450-liters
The Cambiano is a range-extended electric car featuring four-in wheel electric motors
each of which delivers a continuous supply of 60kW (80hp) with peaks of 150kW (201hp) for a maximum output of 600kW (805hp)
Pininfarina says that each motor is controlled separately and electronically thus offering various functions, including energy regeneration when decelerating and braking, traction control with the option of continuously varying the torque split between the wheels independently (Vectoring Stability Program) and anti-lock braking assistance.
The car’s drive system incorporates an APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) in the form of a lightweight (40kg/88 lbs) 50kW Bladon Jets micro turbine that normally runs on diesel but can be calibrated to be compatible with various types of fuel
A battery pack developed by FAAM that is installed between the seats and the rear axle and which can be recharged in 6 hours using a 6 Kw/h grid and in 52 minutes with the APU
The Italian design house quotes a zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 4.2 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h (155mph)
The driving range with the battery alone is 200km (124mph) but it can be extended to over 800km (+497 miles) with the use of the turbine/generator

A first design review of the Pininfarina Cambiano Concept
based on images and information published by Italian magazine Quattroruote
hybrid sedan with four 60 kW in-wheel motors and a diesel-powered turbine
Taking its name from the city where the studio’s headquarters are located
the Cambiano will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Centro Stile as well as the 10th anniversary of the Engineering Center
The main performances of the car are a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 275 km/h
with a range of 500 miles (800 km) and CO2 emissions of just 45 g/km
Below we report a first review of the design, waiting to see it from life in Geneva. Check Quattroruote’s article for more images
the Cambiano Concept was developed on an all-new platform
taking inspiration from the 1957 Lancia Florida II
which for many years was personally used by Battista “Pinin” Farina
The exterior is characterized by very generous dimensions
with a length of five meters and a width of 2 meters
The proportions are balanced through the adoption of very large wheels
The door opening layout features a single door on the driver’s side and a front door plus a rear-hinged door on the passenger’s side
The stance of the car is at the same time aggressive and slender
muscular front fenders and a more streamlined and “light” rear section
which is enhanced by the clean design of the rear door
where there is no visible handle and no third window
The original yet clean surface treatment is combined with a number of graphic elements that give the Cambiano a distinctive character
straight stripe that runs along the side doors
the triangular wings ahead and behind the front wheels and the dark surface of the passenger cell
including the panoramic roof with triangular structural mesh and the darkened pillars
which further lighten the car’s silhouette
The arched roofline is however underlined by the thin metal surrounding trim that originates from the minimal side cameras and ends in correspondence of the trunk lid
Additionally, from the side the shark-profile and the bold shoulders bear some similarities with the modern Camaro and Mustang muscle cars
The rear end features a fascia made of a horizontal
concave surface split by a chromed bar which hides the LED units
The cabin uses articulated yet clean lines
combining white and light grey surfaces of the seats and door upper panels with a dark brown cockpit and wooden floor
Here the eco-friendly character of the car is underlined by the use of recycled and reused materials
including the so called “briccole”
the traditional Venetian mooring posts made in chestnut oak

Pininfarina is an Italian design house with a long
Most of us know it for its work with Ferrari – Pininfarina has had its hand on most of the Prancing Horse’s recent cars like the 458 Italia
The company’s work goes beyond that though
that car didn’t move forward due to Pininfarina’s relationship with Ferrari
Pininfarina showed off the Cambiano Concept
Automotive News reports that car could be going into production
wide coupe concept that utilizes a third rear door like Hyundai’s Veloster
luxurious interior experience for all four passengers
Cambiano isn’t a typical Italian design
but rather an exercise in almost Swedish-looking minimalism
up front we see a strong resemblance to Volvo’s recent sedan concepts
Cambiano has a strong appeal for those who like clean designs
Our favorite element is the green house – the continuous flow of the roof and the way it flows into the rear C-pillar
we hope this concept has an influence on luxury interior designs
The most striking interior element is the wood floor
What we didn’t expect was that the Cambiano would be considered for production
Pininfarina Chief Executive Officer Silvio Angori said a limited run is being considered
either a run of 10 units or a bit more in the 70-75 range
The price would fluctuate based on production
Pininfarina would charge about $1.3 million USD (at current exchange rates)
that figure would drop significantly to about $520,000
the production car would put the kibosh to the concept’s turbine technology
the Cambiano would use a diesel engine as generator for a range-extended electric vehicle setup
the Cambiano would go into production in about two and a half years
created in Italy as a collaboration between Iacobucci HF Aerospace and Pininfarina
has won the International Yacht and Aviation design Award in the Cabin Design category
The International Yacht & Aviation Awards are hosted by Luxe et al (a yacht and aviation magazine)
with shortlisted entries voted on by industry professionals
Cambiano was first introduced as a concept at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2017, and at the 2018 show in April, Iacobucci showed further refinements to the design, as you can see in the June 2018 issue of Aircraft Interiors International.
“Receiving an international award among other prestigious companies made us very proud”, stated Lucio Iacobucci, president and CEO of Iacobucci HF Aerospace, “and confirmed our vision of a bespoke business class seat in a competitive marketplace where airlines need to differentiate and offer more quality, service, comfort and elegance in the premium cabins”.
Adam loves air travel, and since taking on the Aircraft Interiors International brand he has really enjoyed the opportunity to be involved with the latest aircraft and airline products before they are even launched. Adam co-ordinates the growth of the brand platform, and sits on various panels, including the Crystal Cabin Awards

The expected tariff cost is significantly lower than the $4 billion to $5 billion crosstown rival General Motors estimates, which Ford attributes to its higher mix of U.S.-built vehicles.

It is a new approach to luxury in the car, according to Pininfarina's school of thought. The Cambiano is launched, a concept car that is elegant and sporty, refined and comfortable. An enticing combination of pure, cutting edge design and uncompromising engineering that respects the environment in both in the engine and in the choice of materials.
The luxury sports saloon embodies the innovative archetypes of Pininfarina design in full. Another example was a milestone in the company's history, the Florida II, a concept car of 1957 which the founder Pinin Farina conceived and built for his own personal use, a saloon-coupé with an architecture and line that influenced global production for many years. In a way, it was Pininfarina's first real concept car.
Today, in 2012, the Cambiano redefines and reinterprets the ideas that are the basic tenets of Pininfarina design: harmonious proportions, taut lines and fluid surfaces, and a simple element that extends all along the side to underline its dynamism. The result is a very strong visual impact, emphasised by an extremely pure, aerodynamic shape based on essential and purely functional stylistic elements.
The Cambiano breaks with the general trend of design that is overloaded with elements, and confidently embraces the return of pure form as the absolute value, in the best "tradition" of Italian Style, reflecting the deepest essence of Pininfarina Design.
The Cambiano reveals its true character at first glance, starting from the unconventional layout of the doors: on the driver's side the car is a sports coupe with a single door, but on the passenger side there are two doors that open from the centre with no central pillar. This simplifies access and makes the most of the spacious, luminous passenger compartment.
The Cambiano is an expression of the car as a global project, and there is total consistency between every detail of the exterior and interior design, and between the colours, materials and the use of technology. Elegance and formal harmony blend in the association of complementary values: balance and contrast, the relation between full and empty, between solid and transparent. Formal purity and simplicity become elements of iconic design.
The light is an integral part of the Cambiano design concept, inside and out. The relationship with natural light is simplified by the panoramic roof, which is translucent in some areas and transparent in others. With a carbon honeycomb structure mounted between the outside glass and a polycarbonate inner lining, the roof enhances visibility in the car - heightening the sense of luminosity and space inside.
The atmosphere of extreme refinement in the car is underlined by another precious detail in the instrumentation: the timepiece manufactured in Limited Edition by the Swiss watchmaker Bovet 1822. This "Cambiano" Chronograph designed by Pininfarina can be removed from the dashboard and worn as a wristwatch, or used as a sports timer and even a table clock, due to its convertible concept.
Cambiano: new architecture, a generous range and maximum attention to environmental sustainability
The Cambiano also sets new parameters for eco-sustainability in the high performance luxury car segment, its strong points include electric drive which guarantees zero emissions in the urban cycle and a range with all-electric operation that is higher than any offered on the market today. And how could it be otherwise on a concept car from Pininfarina, whose genes have always included sustainable mobility, now one of the pillars of the company's industrial plan?
It is a new approach to luxury in the car, according to Pininfarina's school of thought. The Cambiano is launched, a concept car that is elegant and...

Chronograph Cambiano Edition 2011: a New Timepiece Designed by PininfarinaFeb 2, 2011 4:08 pm ESTLess than a year after causing a sensation with the launch of the Tourbillon Ottanta, developed and manufactured to mark the 80th anniversary of Pininfarina
Bovet 1822 continues its partnership with the Italian design house and presents the Chronograph Cambiano edition 2011
Combining a sporty design with prestige mechanics
the Chronograph Cambiano edition 2011 offers a level of technical and aesthetic refinement that immediately places this collection in a class of its own
While the affinity between the Chronograph Cambiano edition 2011 and the Tourbillon Ottanta is clear
this new timepiece is the result of in-depth development adapted to its functions and specific features
from which it inherits certain aesthetic codes such as the oscillating weight and screws
the Chronograph Cambiano edition 2011 presents a varied topography united by a succession of curves and sharp angles
it is structured with contrasting finishes and surface treatments selected with meticulous attention to detail
The superbly proportioned Amadeo convertible case allows the timepiece to be used as a wristwatch
The steel case-band and case-back have a circular satin finish
bow and crown are in ball-milled steel with black DLC coating
are arranged symmetrically on either side of the bow at 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock in keeping with Bovet's customary aesthetic codes
This positioning ensures perfect ergonomics regardless of which case configuration is used
For optimal functionality and perfect clarity
chronograph and time indications are displayed separately
Chronograph functions are therefore arranged on the dial's horizontal axis
with the seconds hand naturally in the centre
the minute counter at 9 o'clock and the hour counter at 3 o'clock
Time indications meanwhile occupy the dial's vertical axis
seconds at 6 o'clock and large date at 12 o'clock
while time indications are shown by rhodium-plated hands
the small seconds-hand with its stylised design is evocative of the motor car and the world of watchmaking
Bovet craftsmen employed all their expertise and experience to accurately convey the intent of the Italian designers and create a dial of spellbinding technical complexity

Keeping with the modern theme, the Pininfarina Cambiano concept is powered by a range-extending electric powertrain. It consists of four separate 60kW electric motors, while a small diesel engine provides on-the-go recharging capabilities.
Creators say the concept is able to smash 0-100km/h in just 4.2 seconds, while offering a top speed of 275km/h. This would make it one of the fastest electric-based range-extending vehicles around. Overall weight is 1700kg.
