AUTOMOBILI PININFARINA AT THE CENTER OF BRUCE WAYNE-INSPIRED LUXURY HOME IN “GOTHAM CITY”

Unique opportunity to see DC’s ‘Dark Knight’ civilian character Batman’s sophisticated bachelor pad – created downtown Manhattan, New York – is part of an immersive, invitation-only “Wayne Enterprises Experience” event taking place this month.

Organized by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products and Relevance International, the West 17th Avenue experience takes place in a luxury seven-story townhouse. Each product on display has been carefully selected to reflect the lifestyle of its fictional resident and includes the latest designs from the worlds of personal mobility, fashion, technology and jewelry.

And every item – including four specially created versions of the all-electric Battista and the hyper Barchetta B95 – is on sale. First revealed on April 30, these are the “Gotham” and “Dark Knight” variants of each car. Only one copy of each model is available. Visit BruceWayneX.com for more details and the opportunity to reserve a car.

The pioneering Wayne Enterprises experience was created alongside DC’s celebrations to mark 85 years of the Batman franchise, honoring one of the world’s most iconic and enduring pop culture characters. Every element of the experience is inspired by Bruce Wayneand guests are greeted during their visit by fellow Gotham City residents Alfred Pennyworth and Luscious Fox.

Paolo Dellachà, CEO of Automobili Pininfarina, said: “Automobili Pininfarina and Bruce Wayne is the perfect partnership. Bruce Wayne is a billionaire visionary entrepreneur committed to technological advancement, and we have created unique, bespoke versions of Battista and B95 that include new features developed for his exclusive tastes and needs. These are cars he would definitely have in his garage in Gotham City.”

Paolo added: “This ultra-exclusive event introduces the incredible design-led world of Automobili Pininfarina to a new audience, giving them a unique opportunity to see our incredible hypercar, purchase one of four models on as we create and learn more about the future of our brand.”

Automobili Pininfarina has created two exclusive versions of the B95 hyper Barchetta and Battista hyper GT, named “Gotham” and “Dark Knight”, each featuring unique and never-before-seen specifications. All four cars are powered by a high-capacity 120 kWh lithium-ion battery and four motors to generate 1,900 hp. That’s enough to propel each pure-electric model from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in less than two seconds, faster than a current Formula 1 car.

Each has been meticulously selected by Automobili Pininfarina’s engineering and design teams in Cambiano, Italy, and includes all-new features and design technologies inspired by Wayne Enterprises. For example, navigation instructions are given by the Wayne family butler, Alfred Pennyworth, while the infotainment system displays a personalized welcome sequence with the Wayne Enterprise logo.

The four models reflect Wayne Enterprises’ quest for innovation and Bruce Wayne’s own personality. Battista models feature new performance-enhancing specifications to improve aerodynamic efficiency, including shark fins on the tailgate and louver-style openings in the carbon fiber front and rear fenders.

To underline Automobili Pininfarina’s “Dream Cars, Made Real” philosophy, for the first time on Battista, the cabin features panoramic glass roofs for the driver and passenger, while the interior features lighting tailor-made atmosphere. All models feature unique Wayne Enterprise logos on the exterior and interior, along with an aluminum chassis and door plates inspired by Bruce Wayne.

Gotham Specification in detail

This design is intended to reflect the gentler civil sophistication of Bruce Wayne. The B95 and Battista models are covered in distinctive beige leather and stitching including custom quilting in the center panels.

The body of the Gotham Battista is finished in stunning Argento Vittorio gloss paint, complemented by the Nero Torino Goccia gloss roof. To finish the look, the brand’s iconic “F” logo is backlit and crafted from brushed and polished anodized aluminum. The 20-inch front and 21-inch rear alloy wheels feature a Prezioso Evoluzione gloss black face and a matte black contoured rim.

The Gotham B95’s wheels closely match those of the Gotham Battista, except they are finished in a matte black inner ring and a gloss black outer ring, with Titan calipers and a brushed aluminum anodized black rim center lock ring for complete the look.

Black Knight Specification in detail

On the other hand, the design of Dark Knight reflects Bruce Wayne’s using technology to maintain an advantage in his fight against Gotham City’s underworld. These vehicles feature black Alcantara and black leather upholstery, with unique two-tone black and gold contrast stitching.

The body of the Dark Knight Battista is finished in Nero Profondo gloss paint, with a Nero Torino Goccia roof. Ceramic polished Glorioso rims complete the look. The exterior of the Dark Knight B95 matches the Battista, also featuring ceramic polished rims.

The four models reflect Wayne Enterprises’ quest for innovation and Bruce Wayne’s own personality. From the subtle use of the Wayne Enterprises company logo on the vehicles, to the custom embroidery on the seats and the inspired voice of Alfred Pennyworth, these dream cars are the embodiment of the Gotham City icon’s character .
