Automobili Pininfarina is set to make a striking entrance at this year’s Monterey Car Week with the world debut of the B95 Gotham. This unique ‘one-of-one’ creation is the first physical car born from a groundbreaking collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) and Relevance International. Inspired by the legendary Bruce Wayne, the civilian persona of DC Comics’ Batman, the B95 Gotham will be unveiled at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, on August 16.
A Tribute to Bruce Wayne’s Legacy
The B95 Gotham is more than just a car; it’s a tribute to the sophisticated and complex character of Bruce Wayne. Released under WBDGCP’s new Wayne Enterprises luxury label, the vehicle encapsulates Wayne’s passion for cutting-edge innovation, sustainable technology, and refined elegance. The B95 Gotham embodies the ethos of Automobili Pininfarina’s brand promise, “Dream Cars, Made Real,” and reflects the luxury lifestyle associated with the iconic DC superhero.
Exclusive and Bespoke Design
As a ‘one-of-one’ creation, the B95 Gotham guarantees complete exclusivity and collectability for its future owner. It represents the public persona of Bruce Wayne as a suave, tech-savvy innovator and entrepreneur. The vehicle’s design and technology are carefully curated to mirror Wayne’s love for innovation and sustainability, making it a perfect blend of elegance and performance.
The exterior of the B95 Gotham is finished in Argento Vittorio gloss black paint, complemented by unique wheels that feature a matte black inner and gloss black outer ring. The car also boasts Titan calipers and a brushed aluminum anodized black center lock ring. Notably, the vehicle incorporates two electronically adjustable aero screens designed to deflect air over the open cabin, a feature that enhances both the car’s aesthetics and functionality. The iconic Wayne Enterprises logos adorn the body, chassis plate, and door plates, further emphasizing its exclusive nature.
Inside, the B95 Gotham is a showcase of luxury and sophistication. The interior is upholstered in distinctive tan leather with bespoke quilting in the center panels, accompanied by complementary tan stitching. A unique Wayne Enterprises-inspired HMI display, featuring a virtual assistant voice reminiscent of Alfred Pennyworth, adds to the car’s bespoke nature. The driver’s side door plate is laser-engraved with the words “All men have limits… I ignore mine,” a famous quote from Bruce Wayne in the original comic books.
A Collaboration of Vision and Excellence
The B95 Gotham is just one of four bespoke one-off vehicles revealed as part of this partnership. Alongside the B95 Gotham, the collection includes the Battista Gotham, B95 Dark Knight, and Battista Dark Knight. Each vehicle is a unique representation of Bruce Wayne’s dual identity, with the Gotham and Dark Knight specifications symbolizing the duality of his public and private lives.
The collaboration between Automobili Pininfarina and WBDGCP comes at a significant time, as Warner Bros. Discovery celebrates 85 years of Batman in 2024. This partnership not only honors the legacy of Bruce Wayne but also serves as a platform for Automobili Pininfarina to reach a broader audience, inspiring a new generation of enthusiasts with its blend of Italian artistry, high-performance engineering, and rich storytelling.
Unmatched Performance and Power
The B95 Gotham is not just about looks and luxury; it’s a powerhouse of performance. The car generates an astounding 1,900 horsepower, making it the most powerful car ever produced in Italy. It can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in less than two seconds, a feat that places it among the elite in the world of high-performance vehicles.
The Future of Luxury Cars
Automobili Pininfarina’s presence at Monterey Car Week underscores the company’s commitment to designing, developing, and building bespoke, ultra-luxurious cars for discerning clients worldwide.
