Powered by a state-of-the-art 120 kWh lithium-ion battery, the B95 generates a peak power of 1400 kW (1900 PS), ensuring remarkable capabilities are available on both the road and track. The battery pack is liquid-cooled and protected with a housing made of carbon fiber.
The B95 features four independent high-performance electric motors, each driving a separate wheel, along with Full Torque Vectoring technology. This combination offers drivers precise control over power distribution and handling. The B95 has five diverse driving modes: Calma, Pura, Energica, Furiosa, and Carattere — each promising a versatile and dynamic driving experience.
Exterior Design
The car's exterior seamlessly blends classic racing aesthetics with futuristic design elements, and the PURA design philosophy is evident in the sleek lines and proportions. The bodywork envelops the front fenders, resulting in a muscular appearance that minimizes reflections, and creates something instantly recognizable.

Inside, a blend of classic racing heritage and futuristic design cues creates a unique ambiance. The cabin ensures comfort and security while embracing a retro-futuristic atmosphere. The dashboard, featuring Tan Sustainable Luxury Leather and brushed black aluminum anodized finishes, establishes a visual connection between the interior and exterior.
