Summary: Daniel retires

Read chapter 4 or Read from the start

4) Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 2025 (Oliver is 4)

The Abu Dhabi paddock is the same as it’s always been, the beige walls of the accommodations, the Yas Viceroy hotel looming over the track, the team members eagerly looking forward to the winter break, to finally getting to spend proper time with their families, yet it all feels different to him this year. It all feels different because this will be the last ever race he’ll share with Dan, the last time he’ll be able to fight his husband in an F1 car. It feels like this race has both come really quickly, yet it also seems like forever ago that Dan told him he wanted to stop racing after this season.

He can remember that moment so clearly still, both of them tucked up in bed after the Monaco grand prix. Their own bed a welcome reprieve from the hotel beds they’d shared so often. They’d finally managed to get Oli to settle down, the excitement from the race weekend keeping their then 3-year-old up way past his bedtime, but after two extra bedtime stories he’d finally started to nod off.

They’d had their usual squabble over Max pressing his cold feet against Daniel’s legs, his husband complaining about the fact he’d apparently married a snowman. But when they’d finally settled down Dan hadn’t even complained about the phone blocking his view from Max’s face, the other man too deep in thought as Max mindlessly scrolled through his social media, nudging his head back against where Dan was playing with his hair and letting out a huff when he stopped. It had gotten him to draw his eyes away from his phone though, his eyes adjusting to his darker surroundings after staring at the bright phone screen for so long, when they came back into focus he’d found Dan staring back at him, teeth nibbling at his bottom lip nervously.

“I think I wanna stop after this year,” he’d whispered, barely audible, his mouth compressing in a tight line almost afraid of the words he’d just spoken.

And Max oblivious as ever had asked him “Stop with what?”

“Racing… well Formula One.”

“Why?” Max had asked, his eyes flitting over Daniel’s face, hoping it would all just be a joke. He couldn’t imagine not having Daniel there with him in the paddock, not being able to see his bright smile on the other side of the press pen. He wasn’t ready for it to be over yet.

“You’re not that old, you can keep going,” he’d continued on.

“But I… I just don’t real-, I guess I just don’t really want to anymore. It’s not gonna get any better, I’ll still only be fighting for 7th, if I’m lucky,” he’d huffed, and he’d just seemed so tired of it all. The Renault car hadn’t made the improvements Dan had been promised way back when he’d joined them, hell they had probably gotten worse after all the changes in 2021. Where Max had been fighting for his second World Championship with Charles, Daniel had been fighting for a few measly points. We’re still adjusting to the changes they’d said, but in the years following nothing much had changed apart from their ever growing list of excuses.

He’d seen Daniel’s frustrations, seen the longing looks he couldn’t always hide in time whenever Max added yet another trophy to his prize cabinet. But whilst he could understand Dan’s decision there was this selfish part of him that wanted him to stay, to struggle on with a recalcitrant car and a floundering team, just so Max could have him there with him. To have someone to share it all with, the highs and the lows of this crazy world they lived in. But in the end he knew nothing he said would be able to stop Dan, he couldn’t back in 2018 and he couldn’t now seven years later, because whilst he may be known as the stubborn one in their relationship, once Daniel had made up his mind there was nothing that could break his resolve.

So here they were now, in the Abu Dhabi paddock finishing off a season like they had so often, but now there was something hanging over them. Not a dark cloud, because after Dan had announced his retirement he’d seen a different side of him. Someone more free, without the worries of next year’s car hanging over him. Someone who still fought for the best result possible, but someone who would take in every single moment and appreciate it for what it really was whilst doing so. Someone that appreciated the chance he’d gotten to drive one of the 20 fastest cars for the last 14 years, but was ready to hand over the batton to someone else. But it still felt off, neither of them knowing what this massive change in their future would bring. What it would do to them and their relationship, to their family.

He doesn’t have long to reminisce though, as someone from the team is already beckoning him over, telling him that Vicky got held up in traffic but that there will be a team meeting right after his media duties. As he’s filled in on the schedule for today, Daniel is whisked away towards the Renault accommodations getting his own briefing and all the while he’s got Oliver tugging on his sleeve trying to get his attention.

“Hold on honey, papa needs to listen to what Mike has to say, okay,” he said, ruffling Oli’s hair with a smile before he turned his attention back towards Mike. Turns out Lance was sick and he needed to fill his spot at the press conference.

---

They seat him right next to Daniel, of course they do, hoping for that last bit of Maxiel banter. And dammit why is he getting emotional, he should be happy that at least one of them doesn’t have to suffer through these damn press conferences anymore. But then again whenever he got to share that desk with Daniel they never seemed so bad, even if it meant getting sprayed by water every now and then.

Most of the questions are for Dan, with a few directed at himself as well, but poor Antonio and Kevin only get one or two questions and even those are about Daniel. It was to be expected of course, especially with Abu Dhabi usually not being that interesting of a race weekend, the championship already decided in Charles’ favour back in Austin, but it doesn’t make him stop wishing for actual proper questions for once. He doesn’t mind answering questions when they’re about the racecraft, in depth questions about how he sets up the car over a weekend, the work they put in back at the factory, but he never gets asked those questions, they don’t get them the clicks like the overhyped rivalry between Charles and him does.

The thirty minutes of the press conference go by relatively quick, Daniel’s voice lulling him into a drowsy state, so much so that when Tom thanks them for their time he’s actually the last one to take off his mic and scramble away from the press centre.

Vicky is there waiting for them when they get out of the conference, clearly having made it out of the traffic, but as they get closer they can see the worried look on her face.

“Hey Vicky, what’s wrong?”

“Okay, don’t start panicking, Aurélie and some mechanics are already looking for him, but Oliver is missing.”

“What?!” They say in unison. And even though she told them not to panic, panic is already crawling up his chest, his eyes searching his surroundings for a glimpse of blond hair.

“Emily came to greet me and we looked away for 1 second and he’d already run off. We’ve already searched the Red Bull hospitality, but we can’t find him there. I called Aurélie immediately, figuring he may have gone to Renault, she’s searching there now.”

“Okay let’s go help them,” Daniel said next to him, having found his voice before Max who was still gripped by the panic inside of him. His son was gone. They’d told him to never run off on his own and he’d always listened to them, even during his worst tantrums he made sure to not stray away from them. And now, now he’d snuck off without anyone noticing? Oliver loved Emily, the girl always happy to look after him whenever both Max and Daniel had to be somewhere and they’d taken him along with them to the track.

He felt a hand grip his own, tugging on it lightly to get him to follow. He met Daniel’s gaze, whilst he may look calm enough to anyone else, Max could see the worry, the panic in his husband’s eyes.

They quickly made it to the Renault hospitality, finding Aurélie running through the halls of the little building, the woman starting to look more and more frantic as she didn’t catch a glimpse of Oliver anywhere.

“I can’t find him anywhere Dan, I’m so sorry.”

“Hey, hey, it’s not your fault, he can be a slippery little one, I’m always looking for him around the house,” Daniel tried to reassure her. It was true, Oliver had a knack of finding the most random places around the house to hide in, leaving them to look for him for ages until he finally decided to pop his head back out again. They’d once found him hidden at the back of the attic storage cabinet at his mother’s house, happily playing with his toys in his little hideaway.

Not having found him inside the Renault hospitality they made their way back out again, heading towards the only other place where they would expect Oliver to maybe run off to, the garages. They’re halfway there when they both breathe out a sigh of relief, because across the paddock they could see Hugo, Daniel’s number one mechanic, walking up to them, Oliver securely held in his strong arms. The little boy was babbling away to the broad mechanic, Hugo nodding along at his words when suddenly Oliver’s eyes caught them.

“Daddy, Papa!” He shouted out at them, already reaching out for them and trying to wiggle his way out of Hugo’s grip, but the man held on to him easily not wanting the boy to run off once more.

“Found him wandering into the garage, apparently he’d been playing with some of your helmets for a while but he’d gotten bored all on his own.”

“Oliver, oh honey you’re here, we were so worried,” Max said, holding his arms out to take Oli from Hugo and hugging him close, the little boy confused at his father’s antics.

“Oli sweetie, you can’t just run off on your own.” Daniel wrapped his arms around both Max and Oliver, trying to look at their son sternly, but they were both just so relieved to have found him again they couldn’t really stay upset with him for long.

“Was just playing at R’no, won’t be ’llowed anymore next year.”

“Oh baby, why wouldn’t you be allowed anymore?”

“Cuz you’re not racing anymore.”

“You will always be allowed to play at Renault Oli, right Hugo?”

“Of course buddy, you’ll always be part of the fam just like your daddy,” the mechanic smiled, ruffling Oliver’s blond locks playfully.

Max could see Daniel’s smile start to waver, the fact that this really was his last weekend as a Formula One racer really starting to sink in now. No amount of questions from the press could stop the trademark smile from disappearing from his husband’s face, but just hearing their son talk about next year like that, so innocently. To hear one of the closest members of his team say that he would always be part of their family, it finally started to crack the mask he’d so carefully put on these last few days, weeks.

It would be different, so completely different to what they’d gotten used to over these last couple of years. Their whole dynamic would change. Daniel would all of a sudden be a stay-at-home dad, or at least until he’d started to get the craving for fast cars again and decided to try his luck in some other racing series. He’d already mentioned Le Mans in passing, maybe rally car racing. He’d surely find his way back to the sound of roaring engines, to the speed of a car controlled by his crafty hands, but for now he’d stay at home with Oliver. With Oli and maybe his little brother or sister, they’d both whispered their wish of another child, sometime late at night with only the darkness around them to hear their words, the wish for another little baby in their life, to complete their family.

35 fun things to do in Dubai (plus a bonus one!)

Dubai is the Disneyland of cities with a seemingly endless amount of things to do. To give you some inspiration for your next holiday to Dubai we’ve managed to narrow it down (and we use the term loosely), so here are the top 35 things to do in Dubai (in no particular order). If you can’t wait, scroll to the end for something truly incredible…

1. Go to the top of the Burj Khalifa

Standing at 829 meters, it is the world’s tallest building and the view from the top of 160 floors is simply breathtaking.

2. Aquaventure Water Park

Located at the tip of Palm Island, the Aquaventure is heralded as one of the best water parks in the Middle East and Europe! There are 17 hectares of amusements which includes the Lost Chambers aquarium, Dubai’s largest aquarium, where you can even go snorkelling with the sharks, rays and fish!

3. Arabian Ranches Golf Course

This stunning course is sure to challenge any golfer from beginner to Tiger Woods, with immaculate grassy fairways alongside rugged natural terrain.

4. Al Ain Zoo

Perfect for families, at this incredible zoo you can see animals including hippos, lemurs, gorillas and jaguars. Explore by foot or opt for one of their experiences. Perhaps you’ll search for wild Scimitar Oryx and Addax on a desert safari, feed giraffes by hand or walk through the lemur enclosure.

5. Go skydiving

Looking for something really exhilarating? Why not get a birds-eye view of the city as you launch yourself out of a plane and freefall 13,000 feet at up to 21 kilometres an hour? A truly unforgettable experience.

6. Ski Dubai

The first of its kind in the Middle East, indulge in all things snow at this indoor ski slope. From tobogganing to snowboarding and skiing, everyone is welcome to try their hand at this mountain-themed hotspot.

7. Camel trek

Clamber atop a camel’s back and experience how people have been travelling in the United Arab Emirates for hundreds of years. Give it a go for a short trip or opt for something a little longer trip where you can also dine on a traditional Bedouin meal under the stars or sample a shisha.

8. Gold souk

This traditional market located in Old Dubai near the Dubai Creek is famous for its many stalls that sell gold jewellery. Haggle for a unique piece to take home or marvel at the beauty of windows filled with glittering gold.

9. Chillout Ice Bar

Dinner is best served cold at the Middle East’s first sub-zero dining venue. Inside this lounge built entirely out of ice and chilled to -6C you can dine on hot drinks, delicious deserts and mock-tails while wrapped up in cosy coats and gloves.

10. Dubai Creek

Snaking through the middle of Dubai, this saltwater creek is a must-see for history lovers, sight-seers and photographers alike. As you drift down aboard a traditional boat, you’ll see the charming architecture of the old Dubai and perhaps even discover the traditional souks that are dotted along the banks.

11. Al Bastakiya

The oldest residential area in the city of Dubai gives you an authentic taste of the history here, with narrow winding lanes and stone towers, as well as the Al Fahidi Fort which is thought to be the oldest building in the city.

12. Palm Island

You’ll probably already have heard that this man-made island, shaped as a palm tree, can be seen from space, but did you know that it also has 520 kilometres of beach and is the home to some of Dubai’s most luxurious hotels, as well as boutique shopping, fine-dining venues and waterparks aplenty.

13. Have a private dinner on a terrace at the Burj Al Arab

For the ultimate romantic dinner, treat yourself to a six-course dinner backdropped by spectacular views of the Arabian Gulf at one of the world’s most luxurious hotels and Dubai’s only 7-star hotel.

14. Meena Bazaar

Though the sleek modern malls are also worth a trip, to get the most out of your trip to Dubai make sure you head to Meenaa Bazaar. Home to a staggering array of market stalls selling everything from food to fabric and jewellery, you can find yourself some unique souvenirs or simply wander around the narrow paths and take it all in.

15. Emirates Towers

These iconic towers have 15 restaurants and bars to choose from as well as an open-top swimming pool and some of the best views of the city.

16. Dubai Fountains

Every half an hour throughout the evening and twice during the day at the Burj Khalifa Lake, you can witness the world’s largest choreographed fountain display where water is shot up to 150 metres into the air.

17. Go snorkelling

The waters that surround the Middle East are well-known for being some of the best waters to snorkel thanks to good visibility, warm temperature and for being home to a myriad of sea life. The best snorkelling close to Dubai is found in the Gulf of Oman, to the east of the United Arab Emirates either at Fujairah or Oman’s Musandam Peninsula. Many hotels in Dubai offer snorkelling day trips which includes travel to and from the boat, equipment and often, lunch.

18. Go on a self-drive tour of the city in a supercar

Exploring the city by car is a must, but why stick to a standard hire car? Dubai is one of the best places in the world to hire a luxury sports car so why not travel in style and get behind the wheel of a Rolls Royce, a Bugati, a Porsche or a Bentley?

19. Children’s City

This one-of-a-kind ‘city within a city’ scientific learning centre is a great day out for ages 2 – 15. You and your family can investigate the human body exhibition, discover the solar system at the planetarium, play in the soft play area and have fun exploring!

20. Wonderland UAE

The largest amusement park in the UAE with 30 attractions sprawled across 22 acres of land including a theme park, indoor centre and an outdoor waterpark, that’s fun for the whole family.

21. Motor City

Home to the Dubai Autodrome, a 5.39km motor circuit as well as the F1-X Dubai Formula One theme park, this motor-themed residential area is a must for motor fans of any age.

22. Hot air balloon ride over the city

How better to see this majestic city than by air? See the mountains, desert and city from your very own hot air balloon, perhaps even with a glass of Champagne in hand.

23. XVA Gallery

One of the Middles East’s best contemporary galleries displaying the finest Arabic modern art, historical artefacts and ornaments.

24. Dubai Aquarium

The largest suspended aquarium in the world, this 10 million litre tank is home to over 33,000 animals across 140 species. Look out for the Sand Tiger Sharks, the largest collection of them in the world. If you’re looking for a thrill, daredevils can even try their hand at diving with them!

25. Join a running club

Running is one of the best ways to see a city. With miles of palm-lined promenades, parks and harbours, as well as running clubs for all abilities, Dubai is a great place to explore by foot. Dubai Road Runners even offers prizes for the runners that get closest to predicting their final time.

26. Rock pools of Hatta

This lesser known region is one of the most picturesque places in the UAE. Just an hour’s journey away from Dubai, it’s perfect for a day visit to escape the city and discover the country’s natural highlights. Here you can enjoy the landscape by hiking or kayaking the dam or exploring the 3,000-year-old heritage village. One of the biggest highlights of a trip to Hatta is swimming in the azure waters of the spring-fed rock pools of the Hajar Mountains.

27. Tax free shopping

Tax free shopping means that you can really go and get lost in the mall, with everything from designer shops to outlet stores at your disposal. The best malls include Ibn Buttuta Mall, an ornate Moroccan-inspired theme mall and BurJuman which boasts a mix of famous luxury clothing brands.

28. Bastakia Quarter

The city’s most charming heritage site, built in the 19 th century, that is home to art galleries, the Dubai Museum and Dubai’s oldest building, the Al Fahidi Fort. Wander the winding streets and admire the culture, history and architecture.

29. Wild Wadi Water Park

This waterpark located at the broad tip of The Palm Jumeirah offers 30 different attractions that’s fun for the whole family, and perfect to enjoy on hot days. This theme park is particularly famous for having the tallest free fall slide outside of the USA; thrill seekers will love hurtling toward ground at 80km per hour!

30. Angsana Spa

Relax and re-align at this delightful spa, offering a range of massages, facials and beauty treatments to melt the stresses of life away, leaving you rejuvenated and ready for adventuring Dubai!

31. Jumeirah mosque

This iconic mosque is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting the city particularly because it is one of the few mosques in the city that is open to non-Muslim guests. Not only is it the tallest in the city, but it is also one of the largest, with space for up to 1200 people. Six days of each week, guests can join tours to learn about the building’s history and cultural significance.

32. Big Red

This 300ft sand dune gets its name from its red colour caused by high iron oxide content, just outside of Dubai it is both jaw-dropping to look at and hair-rising to race down!

33. Dinner on a Donut

At the Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club you can experience a unique meal aboard a BBQ Donut – a ringed vessel floating on the Dubai Creek. Stocked with a selection of meat, seafood, vegetables and sauces, a central charcoal grill, and seats for up to eight guests, you and your family can enjoy an incredible meal backdropped on all sides by the creek.

34. Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary

Located just a short journey away from the centre of Dubai, this urban wildlife reserve offers an important habitat for over 67 different species of bird and is a great choice for a day out of the city. Across the lagoons, mangroves and mudflats you can see birds such as cormorants, herons, egrets and huge flocks of flamingos. What’s more, admission is completely free.

35. Hire a private luxury yacht

Get out onto the water aboard a private yacht where you can travel in style, glass of Champagne in hand, as you get a different view of the city and soak in some rays.

Bonus!

36. Use a gold vending machine

The Pininfarina Battista Is a Stunning, Fully Electric 1,874-HP Hypercar

It has 1,874 horsepower and 1,696 lb-ft of torque. It’ll hit 60 mph in 1.9 seconds, 100 mph in 4.3 seconds, and 186 mph in 11.8 seconds. The quarter-mile? Gone in 9.1 seconds. Top speed? An autobahn-busting 218 mph. And there’s not a single turbocharger or camshaft or piston to be found. Welcome to the shocking future of the hypercar. Welcome to the Pininfarina Battista, one of the star cars of this year’s Geneva auto show.

The name is steeped in history. Battista “Pinin” Farina founded his eponymous coachbuilding company in Turin, Italy, in 1930. The 1947 Cisitalia 202 coupe he designed was the first car to become part of the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection in New York. Pininfarina has also designed and built cars for Ferrari, as well as Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, and Cadillac (remember the Allanté?), among others. But the Battista is a digital-age, crowd-sourcing-era hypercar, combining traditional notions of Italian design and craftsmanship with financial and technological resources that simply weren’t available 10 years ago.

Pininfarina SpA, which will build the Battista in Italy, is today majority owned by Indian automaker Mahindra, best known in the U.S. for its range of tractors and the Roxor off-roader, an ancient CJ Jeep clone it has built for decades. Automobili Pininfarina, which developed with the Battista concept and will sell the car, is 100 percent owned by Mahindra and staffed by highly experienced executives and engineers who have variously worked for Porsche and Pagani, Lamborghini and Bugatti, as well as Alfa Romeo and Audi.

The Battista’s potent electric powertrain is from Croatia’s Rimac Automobili, whose electric-powered Concept_One and C_Two hypercars are quick enough to frighten a Bugatti Chiron. Rimac pricked the pop-culture zeitgeist in 2017 when former Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond threw a Concept_One off the road while filming an episode of The Grand Tour. But performance-focused Rimac has also attracted attention from respected auto industry heavyweights: Porsche quietly took a 10 percent stake in the company last year. Rimac is also supplying high-performance hybrid battery systems for the forthcoming Aston Martin Valkyrie, and Koenigsegg’s Regera.

Designed by Pininfarina SpA, the Battista at first glance looks vaguely like a reworked Ferrari 488. The Ferrari vibe is perhaps understandable, given the company’s long association with Maranello, even though the brief for the Battista came from Automobili Pininfarina design director Luca Borgogno, who worked at Lamborghini’s studio in Turin, most recently on the Urus SUV. Automobili Pininfarina insiders insist, however, the carbon-fiber monocoque and body panels are all new and unique, a fact substantiated by doors that are cut into and are hinged at the roof, and swing forward and upward like those of a McLaren 720S.

The Battista’s proportions and stance are generic mid-engine supercar—the lack of exhaust pipes is the only clue to the e-powertrain underneath—which some may see as a missed opportunity. But as with a tuxedo, there are only so many ways you can tweak and tease a classic formula before it starts to look odd. The Battista is a conventional beauty, its form defined by a handful of artfully rendered lines. The most important of these run back from the front fender and tuck in toward the center of the car as they rise over the rear wheels, where they define the inner edge of surfaces that appear to float over the rear of the car. Critically, the lines—and the surfaces—don’t quite meet, making the Battista look as if it has a split rear wing.

“I love the wing,” says design director Borgogno. “It looks like two separate fins. On other supercars the rear wing leaves an ugly, dead hollow space when it’s raised, but on the Battista the wing is so thin it leaves just a shallow indentation, the floor of which we have perforated so that you can see into the rear airflow section.”

The lines also define air channels that run along each side of the greenhouse, similar to those of the McLaren 720S. The Battista may not need to gulp oxygen to make all that power and torque, but there are five radiators located around the car to help manage the temperatures of the 120-kWh,T-shaped lithium-manganese-nickel battery pack, as well as the four liquid-cooled Rimac synchronous permanent magnet electric motors.

Pininfarina claims a range of up to 280 miles between charges, though as in an internal-combustion engine vehicle, your mileage may vary. Rimac says the battery pack has the juice and the thermal stability to propel its C_Two concept for two full-power laps of the 12.9-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife with negligible performance loss. The Battista should have similar capability.

And they should be mighty quick laps. Carbon-fiber construction should keep the Battista’s overall weight around 4,500 pounds despite the heavy battery pack. Carbon-ceramic brakes are standard, with 15.4-inch rotors up front and 15.0-inch ones at the rear, each clamped by six-piston monobloc calipers. And with a motor powering each wheel (two motors share a common casing in the center of the car at each axle), the Battista will have infinitely variable torque-vectoring capability at each corner of the car.

Helping hone the Battista’s dynamics is former F1 and Le Mans 24 racer Nick Heidfeld, whose other day job is development driver for the Mahindra Formula E team. Working with Heidfeld is Peter Tutzer, who began his career at Porsche, where he was ultimately appointed chief engineer for the company’s race-car program; he then worked at Pagani on the Zonda before joining Bugatti, where he played an integral role in the engineering and development of the Veyron. No shortage of credibility there.

The Battista’s interior is at once high tech and luxurious, with state-of-the-moment infotainment interfaces and a wide range of available trim colors. Two screens are located either side of the steering wheel, the left controlling dynamics and performance, the right media and navigation. All vital information is displayed immediately in front of the driver on a small, centrally mounted screen. A rotary controller mounted on the door enables drive-mode settings; on the right is the transmission control. Drivers will also be able to set bespoke sound settings, ranging from silence to what Automobili Pininfarina intriguingly calls “a signature Battista sound.”

Automobili Pininfarina plans to make just 150 Battistas, with a third of them coming to the U.S. The first cars are scheduled to arrive in 2020, in time to celebrate Pininfarina’s 90th anniversary.

The Battista’s proportion and stance are generic mid-engine supercar—the lack of exhaust pipes is the only clue to the e-powertrain underneath—which some may see as a missed opportunity. But as with a tuxedo, there are only so many ways you can tweak and tease a classic formula before it starts to look odd. The Battista is a conventional beauty, its form defined by a handful of artfully rendered lines. The most important of these run back from the front fender and tuck in toward the center of the car as they rise over the rear wheels, where they define the inner edge of surfaces that appear to float over the rear of the car. Critically, the lines—and the surfaces—don’t quite meet, making the Battista look as if it has a split rear wing.

The lines also define air channels that run along each side of the glasshouse, similar to those of the McLaren 720S. The Battista may not need to gulp oxygen to make all that power and torque, but there are five radiators located around the car to help manage the temperatures of the T-shaped, 120-kW-hr, lithium–manganese–nickel battery pack, and the four liquid-cooled Rimac synchronous permanent magnet e-motors.

Pininfarina claims a range of up to 280 miles between charges, though as in an internal combustion engine vehicle, your mileage may vary. Rimac says the battery pack has the juice and the thermal stability to propel its C_Two concept for two full-power laps of the 12.9-mile Nürburgring Nordschleife with negligible performance loss. The Battista should have similar capability.

And they should be mighty quick laps. Carbon-fiber construction should keep the Battista’s overall weight around 4,500 pounds despite the heavy battery pack. Carbon-ceramic brakes are standard, with 15.4-inch rotors up front and 15.0 at the rear, each clamped by six-piston monobloc calipers. And with an e-motor powering each wheel (two motors share a common casing in the center of the car at each axle), the Battista will have infinitely variable torque vectoring capability at each corner of the car.

Helping hone the Battista’s dynamics is former F1 and Le Mans 24 racer Nick Heidfeld, whose other day job is development driver for the Mahindra Formula E team. Working with Heidfeld is Peter Tutzer, who began his career at Porsche, where he was ultimately appointed chief engineer for the company’s race car program; he then worked at Pagani on the Zonda before joining Bugatti, where he played an integral role in the engineering and development of the Veyron. No shortage of credibility there.

The Battista’s interior is at once high tech and luxurious, with state-of-the-moment infotainment interfaces and a wide range of available trim colors. Two screens are located either side of the steering wheel, the left controlling dynamics and performance, the right media and navigation. All vital information is displayed immediately in front of the driver on a small, centrally mounted screen. A rotary controller mounted on the door enables drive mode settings; on the right is the transmission control. Drivers will also be able to set bespoke sound settings, ranging from silence to what Automobili Pininfarina intriguingly calls “a signature Battista sound.”

Automobili Pininfarina plans to make just 150 Battistas, with a third of them coming to the U.S. The first cars are scheduled to arrive in 2020, in time to celebrate Pininfarina’s 90th anniversary.

How long does it take for auto insurance to pay out for no-fault accident?

Hello - I was involved in an auto-accident in March of 2006 in which both insurance companies (mine and hers) agreed that it was the other party's fault and I was a zero-liability. Their insurance company (let's call them Venus , of ease) has asked for receipts ($1000 in rentals which my coverage does not cover), my deductible amount and any other amount which I had to put out (total is about $1,700). I have waited since April for them to pay me. I get letters from Venus every other week saying they are pending further investigation - but, I am at wits-end and want my money which I had to pay-out for an accident that everyone acknowledges is not my fault. Does anyone know what the law/rules are in California and how long they can take to pay after they find the other party is at fault? Also, what can I word in a strongly worded letter to get this finally paid. I dont want to hire lawyer for such a low amount - but, that extra 1700 sure would be nice at the moment. Thanks! Chris""

I have a clean record but any online quote I get for a bike 600cc or higher results in $10,000/year or higher in insurance.

Can you recommend any books for 15-yr old girl?

I've only read a few books. I don't really have a favorite genre, but I like the kind where it keeps you on edge, or its so good, you can't put it down. Books I read for school are boring, like To Kill A Mockingbird, there was another one where this family got insurance money and they were fighting over it. i really don't like those kind. So can you recommend anything that I would like? I'm trying to find a genre I like, but so far, no luck. I've read books like the da vinci code, stonehenge, american chillers(when i was in elementary school, now in high school), a child called it, night, and acceleration.""

Can I buy a car for someone and them pay insurance and registration?

Basically Drive and maintain my car? I'm buying it for her. I will register it in my name. I live in NV, so I need to register it here in NV. Title, Loan, and Registration will be in my name. Can she legally insure the vehicle, solely? Does she need to add me onto the insurance policy? Is it OK for her to drive it in Cali, where she lives, with it registered to me here in Vegas?

Please help! feedback needed! OF COURSE ITS NOT A GOOD IDEA, BUT IF I CHOOSE TO DO IT, I want to be aware of it all, just asking for some heads up and feedback, please! Thanks!""

I crashed a friends subaru and his parents are hunting me for money. How much am should I be expected to pay?

Turning a corner I overturned and have dented the front fender in front of the left wheel. Knocked the front left wheel out of alignment, all but removed the passenger mirror and scratched the left side of the car, only paint deep to my recollection. Also the left front indicator cover has been smashed, bulbs unharmed though. The car is a subaru legacy 1985 station wagon 4wd. They either want $700 for the cost of the car itself or repair money. Please help soon, friends parents are hunting me down.""

""Insurance paid out too much, Am I obliged to give it back?""

After a solicitors firm managed to draw out a car insurance claim for 18 months I finally settled 50/50 on the incident, instead of refunding me 50% (400) of my excess the solicitors paid me 100% (800). I verbally informed them of the error before they issued the cheque and they still proceeded, now they have noticed the error they are asking for me to return the money. Am I legally obliged to do so and how far are they likely to pursue this if I do not?""
