Known issues by generation
Donors should be aware of certain model-specific concerns when it comes to the Automobili Pininfarina Battista.

Additionally, there have been noted variabilities in bespoke coach-built panel fitment and paint quality due to the handcrafted nature of production. Any issues related to the quad-motor drive unit should be addressed through authorized service centers, where Pininfarina-trained technicians ensure proper care.
