Automobili Pininfarina Develops Bespoke Electric Vehicles Inspired by Batman

Automobili Pininfarina has curated a collection of bespoke pure-electric vehicles inspired by Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products. Wayne’s on-screen persona has inspired two new exclusive versions of both the Automobili Pininfarina B95 hyper Barchetta and the Battista hyper GT.

The cars are powered by a 120kWh lithium-ion battery and four motors to generate 1,900hp.

That’s enough to propel each pure-electric model from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in less than a two second sprint – faster than a current Formula 1 car.

Both models feature HMI display enhancements incuding an instruction voice inspired by Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler and assistant, Alfred Pennyworth. 

Every element of the two specifications, named ‘Gotham’ and ‘Dark Knight’, has been curated to compliment the luxurious lifestyle of a icon, who has appeared in numerous forms of entertainment and media since his debut in 1939. 

Paolo Dellachà, Chief Executive Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, says: “Our partnership with Wayne Enterprises through Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, DC and Relevance International is a natural fit for Automobili Pininfarina. It’s driven by our shared pursuit of pioneering and sustainable technologies to promote the future of mobility. This collaboration not only empowers us to ignite the imaginations of our clients but also to reach and inspire new and diverse audiences.”

Robert Oberschelp, Head of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, adds: “Collaborating with Automobili Pininfarina on designing these incredible, state-of-the-art vehicles exemplifies our Wayne Enterprises guiding motto: partner with premier brands to bring Bruce Wayne's elevated taste into the real world. These stunning hypercars, featuring elaborate design and futuristic technology, celebrate the Wayne lifestyle while offering an innovative product unlike anything else in the market.”

Automobili Pininfarina is based in operational headquarters in Cambiano, Italy, with a commercial office in Munich, Germany.
