A £2million ($2.5million) all-electric hypercar with a staggering 1,900 horsepower has hit the streets of New York, the Daily Mail reports.

The Pininfarina Battista reaches 60mph (100km/h) quicker an F1 car, passes 180mph (290km/h) before an F-16 fighter jet does and will keep going all the way to a top speed of 217mph (350kmh/hr) courtesy of its electric motors being fed by a 120 kWh battery.

A prototype was unveiled last month and now it has been showcased again this week at an off-site event at the Javits Center for the New York International Auto Show

Its creators say the Battista will be ''the world's first luxury electric hyper GT '' and ''the most powerful road-legal car ever designed and built in Italy '' when it goes into production next year, with a claimed range of 280 miles. 

The guilt-free hypercar: This is the Pininfarina Battista - a £2million zero-emissions car that goes on sale next year

The weight distribution of the T-shaped liquid-cooled 120 kWh battery - made from a mix of lithium, manganese and nickel - is configured to optimise the car’s dynamics

Only 150 of the cars are going to be produced, with 50 destined for the US - with half of that allowance already reserved by keen customers - and 50 set for both Europe and Asia

For the world's super-rich, at a time when petrol and diesel cars are blamed for pollution and poor air quality, it offers the combination of speed with 'sustainability, and luxury without guilt'

The Battista’s range will be at least 280 miles and that the company will provide a system to charge 80 percent of the battery in just 40 minutes or less

Inside the cockpit are two screens located either side of a compact steering wheel and angled towards the driver

Investment for the new model has come from Indian car giant Mahindra
