Celebrating Batman’s Legacy
The Wayne Enterprises Experience coincides with DC’s celebration of Batman’s 85th anniversary, honoring one of pop culture’s most enduring characters. Visitors are guided through the event by characters such as Alfred Pennyworth and Lucius Fox, adding an authentic Gotham City touch to the experience.
Paolo Dellacha, CEO of Automobili Pininfarina, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration: “Automobili Pininfarina and Bruce Wayne are the perfect partnership. We have created unique and bespoke versions of Battista and B95 to match his exclusive tastes and needs, showcasing cars that Bruce Wayne would undoubtedly have in his Gotham City garage.”
Exclusive ‘Gotham’ and ‘Dark Knight’ Models
Automobili Pininfarina has crafted two distinct versions of the Battista hyper GT and B95 hyper Barchetta, each named ‘Gotham’ and ‘Dark Knight.’ These models feature unique specifications and are powered by a 120kWh lithium-ion battery, delivering an astonishing 1,900hp. This power enables the vehicles to accelerate from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in less than two seconds, surpassing the speed of a current Formula 1 car.
The designs incorporate Wayne Enterprises-inspired features and technology. For instance, navigation instructions are voiced by Alfred Pennyworth, and the infotainment system greets users with a customized welcome sequence featuring the Wayne Enterprises logo.
Gotham Specification
The ‘Gotham’ design exudes the refined sophistication of Bruce Wayne’s civilian persona. The Battista and B95 models are upholstered in tan leather with bespoke quilting and distinctive stitching. The Battista’s bodywork boasts an Argento Vittorio gloss finish, paired with a Nero Torino Goccia gloss roof, and 20-inch front and 21-inch rear alloy wheels finished in Prezioso Evoluzione gloss black.
The B95’s wheels mirror the Battista’s design, with a matt black inner and gloss black outer ring, Titan callipers, and brushed aluminum anodized black rim center lock ring completing the look.
Dark Knight Specification
The ‘Dark Knight’ models reflect Bruce Wayne’s use of advanced technology to combat Gotham’s criminal underworld. These vehicles feature black Alcantara and leather upholstery with black and gold duo-tone stitching. The Battista’s exterior is finished in Nero Profondo gloss paint with a Nero Torino Goccia roof, complemented by Glorioso ceramic-polished rims. The B95 matches the Battista’s exterior, also featuring ceramic-polished rims.
Both designs emphasize innovation and Bruce Wayne’s personality, with subtle Wayne Enterprises logos, customized seat embroidery, and features inspired by Alfred Pennyworth.
