Automobili Pininfarina is set to unveil the first physical car from its innovative collaboration with Wayne Enterprises Experience by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) and Relevance International. The unique B95 Gotham will make its world debut at this year’s Monterey Car Week.
The B95 Gotham, a two-seat Barchetta, will be one of the spotlight vehicles at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in California on Friday, August 16th. This unique creation is a ‘one-of-one’ design inspired by the lavish lifestyle of Bruce Wayne, the alter ego of DC superhero Batman.
This physical debut comes after the virtual introduction of four exclusive one-off cars on April 30th this year, coinciding with the partnership announcement. These four models include the B95 Gotham (showcased at The Quail), Battista Gotham, B95 Dark Knight, and Battista Dark Knight. Only one unit of each will ever be manufactured, ensuring absolute exclusivity and value for the buyer. While the B95 Gotham at Monterey is for display purposes, the production of the first customer car from the quartet is underway at the company’s workshop in Cambiano, Italy.
The new luxury vehicle range by WBDGCP draws inspiration from Bruce Wayne, showcasing the Gotham and Dark Knight models representing different facets of his persona. The Gotham embodies his public role as a sophisticated tech innovator and entrepreneur, while the Dark Knight reflects his secretive identity as Gotham City’s masked vigilante. This collaboration between Automobili Pininfarina and WBDGCP coincides with Warner Bros. Discovery marking 85 years of Batman in 2024.
Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, expressed, “The B95 Gotham showcases how we bring our brand promise of ‘Dream Cars, Made Real’ to life for our clients. We put them at the forefront of our work, and creating tailored and handcrafted cars like this is all guided by our vision and dedication to crafting memorable client interactions.”
The B95 Gotham mirrors Bruce Wayne’s love for advanced innovation and eco-friendly technology, as well as his sophisticated and refined style, while presenting a distinctive and carefully selected specification. This version of the B95 Barchetta features two state-of-the-art electronically adjustable aero screens to redirect airflow over the open cockpit. Wayne Enterprises logos on the body, chassis, and door plates add to the exterior design.
The car’s elegant design is adorned in Argento Vittorio gloss black paint, paired with one-of-a-kind wheels that boast a matt black inner rim and a gloss black outer ring. The overall look is enhanced with Titan calipers and a brushed aluminum anodized black center lock ring.
On the inside, the B95 Gotham embodies the refined preferences of Bruce Wayne, featuring tan leather upholstery with unique quilting on the center panels and matching tan stitching. Additionally, it showcases a custom Wayne Enterprises-inspired HMI display and a virtual assistant’s voice reminiscent of Alfred Pennyworth, the iconic butler of the Wayne family. To top it off, the car includes a personalized driver’s side door plate engraved with the phrase “All men have limits… I ignore mine,” a famous quote associated with Bruce Wayne from the original comics.
Like all four of the Bruce Wayne-inspired editions, the B95 Gotham produces 1,900hp, propelling the car from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in under two seconds – making it the most potent road car ever built in Italy. In 2024, Automobili Pininfarina makes its return to Monterey Car Week for the fifth time, fulfilling the commitment made a year ago to the same audience – that the core of their business remains focused on designing, developing, and constructing custom and luxury vehicles for discerning clients globally.
