Rivian will provide its electric 'skateboard' platform to Pininfarina

Automobili Pininfarina's upcoming SUV could produce over 1000bhp and will
use an 800V charging system

Automobili Pininfarina will follow its electric hypercar, the PF0, with
three SUVs, of which the most powerful one - codenamed PF1 - will rival the
Lamborghini Urus.

As first reported by our sister site Autocar India, development work on the
PF1 SUV has already begun back in the Mahindra-owned car maker’s
headquarters in Munich. “Work has started on the PF1 and right now, we are
in the process of finalising the design, which again is being done by
Pininfarina,” said Pawan Goenka, MD of the Mahindra and Mahindra group.

Pininfarina had previously confirmed that it will use powertrain and battery
technology supplied by electric hypercar maker Rimac in the PF0. However,
Autocar India has confirmed that Automobili Pininfarina will partner with
Rivian, an electric vehicle maker and automotive technology company based in
the US, for the underpinnings of its SUVs. Rivian Automotive will provide
the ‘skateboard’ platform for the company’s all-electric SUV models that
will follow the PF0.

Rivian, which has been making EV platforms for several years, recently
launched its first production models at the LA motor show - the R1S SUV and
R1T pick-up truck. Rivian officials at the show did not confirm the news
about its partnership with Pininfarina but did state that the company had
been in talks with Mahindra.

The Rivian R1S and R1T are designed to be capable on- and off-road and
develop around 750bhp from electric motors at each wheel. The company says
the vehicles will be semi-autonomous and will be offered with three battery
packs delivering differing driving ranges, with the maximum being around
640km.

Rivian’s skateboard platform is developed to offer electric vehicle
technology that combines brisk pace and long range along with off-road
capability. The platform combines features such as Dynamic Roll Control and
air suspension with a battery with maximised energy density. Both Rivian
models will be capable of a 0-60mph (0-100kph) time of around 3sec.

While it is not known if PF1 SUV will have the same off-road credentials as
the Rivian SUV, the Pininfarina model is being developed to be blisteringly
quick. It will be equipped with a 135Kwh battery pack (larger than the PF0’s
120 Kwh) and will have an 800V system for fast charging. With 200kW at each
wheel, the PF1 might weigh around 2,300-2,400kg and could produce up to
800kW – equivalent to 1,074bhp.

Founded in 2009 by RJ Scaringe, Rivian recently secured USD 200 million from
Standard Chartered, bringing its overall financing to USD 450 million,
having already secured funds from the investment arm of Saudi Arabia-based
Abdul Latif Jameel and Sumitomo Corporation of Americas.
