B95 GOTHAM, THE ELECTRIC HYPERCAR REDEFINING LUXURY TO DEBUT AT MONTEREY CAR WEEK

B95 GOTHAM, THE ELECTRIC HYPERCAR REDEFINING LUXURY TO DEBUT AT MONTEREY CAR WEEK - TheArsenale

The Automobili Pininfarina B95 Gotham is a 1,900-horsepower open-top electric hypercar built in collaboration with Warner Bros. and Wayne Enterprises, priced at 4.9 million euros and limited to just four units worldwide. Unveiled at The Quail during Monterey Car Week 2024, the B95 Gotham is inspired by the world of Bruce Wayne and translates the aesthetic of Gotham City into one of the most extreme electric hypercars ever created.

 

The Collaboration: Pininfarina and Wayne Enterprises

The B95 Gotham emerges from a partnership between Automobili Pininfarina and Warner Bros. consumer products, using the fictional Wayne Enterprises identity as the client brief. The result is a car designed around the personal tastes of Bruce Wayne: a dark, precise, deeply engineered machine that communicates power without excess. The Wayne Enterprises logo appears on the bodywork and on the official chassis plate. Inside, the driver's door sill carries Bruce Wayne's defining motto: "All men have limits... I ignore mine." The infotainment system features a bespoke Wayne Enterprises interface, and the voice assistant is voiced as Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne's butler.

Performance: 1,900 HP and 0 to 60 mph in Under 2 Seconds

The B95 Gotham is built on the Automobili Pininfarina Battista platform, which uses a 120 kWh battery pack and four electric motors delivering a combined 1,900 horsepower. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph takes under two seconds. Top speed exceeds 186 mph. The powertrain operates with zero emissions, a combination of hypercar performance and environmental responsibility that defines the B95 positioning in the ultra-luxury EV segment.

The brakes and active aerodynamics are calibrated to manage the extraordinary power delivery of the quad-motor setup, with the open-top B95 body also generating downforce to keep the car planted at speed.

Design: Argento Vittorio, Carbon Fiber, and Gotham Darkness

The exterior is finished in Argento Vittorio gloss black, a paint treatment exclusive to the Gotham edition. The open-air silhouette of the B95 base model is maintained, with the bodywork shaped entirely from carbon fiber. Alloy Prezioso Evoluzione wheels with a matte black inner section and gloss black outer rim complete the exterior. Inside, the seats are upholstered in tan leather with electrowelding quilting and tan stitching, a deliberate contrast to the exterior darkness that references the warmer tones of the original Wayne Manor interior aesthetic.

Production: Four Units Only

The B95 Gotham shown at The Quail was a show car. The four customer-specification units are currently being built at Automobili Pininfarina's headquarters in Cambiano, Italy. Each owner will have the opportunity to further personalize their car's specification. At 4.9 million euros, the Gotham sits at the extreme upper end of the electric hypercar market, competing for the same buyers who collect one-off commissions from Bugatti's La Voiture Noire or Lamborghini's Veneno.

For those who want to experience the pinnacle of electric hypercar engineering from TheArsenale's curated selection, explore the TheArsenale electric vehicles collection. Key highlights include the RAESR Tachyon Speed electric hypercar and the Nitid Trinity electric hypercar. The full range of exceptional vehicles is also available in the TheArsenale cars collection.
