Closest Thing To A Real-Life Batmobile: Italian Hypercar Maker Unveils Million-Dollar EVs Fit For Bruce Wayne's Lifestyle

Italian hypercar builder Automobili Pininfarina has teamed up with Wayne Enterprises, a fictional luxury brand inspired by the Batman franchise, to unveil four exclusive electric vehicles (EVs) inspired by the Dark Knight.

Electrifying Partnership: The all-electric Italian brand said in a statement that it collaborated with Wayne Enterprises, a creation of Warner Bros., to craft these custom-made EVs. These hypercars target high-end consumers, mirroring the taste of Bruce Wayne, Batman’s civilian persona.

Billionaire’s Batmobile: Automobili Pininfarina took two existing models, the Battista hyper GT and the B95 Barchetta, and transformed them into four Batman-themed EVs: “Gotham” and “Dark Knight.” Both models boast a 120kWh lithium-ion battery and four electric motors, generating a staggering 1,900 horsepower – exceeding the performance of any current Formula 1 car.

These exclusive vehicles feature unique design elements that pay homage to the Batman universe. Wayne Enterprises-inspired HMI display enhancements and performance-boosting specifications set them apart. The interiors boast a completely revamped door and roof design, with a significant portion of the roof made of curved glass.
