Automobili Pininfarina B95 Gotham is an exclusive two-seater barchetta is the result of a special collaboration with Wayne Enterprises Experience, Warner Bros, and Relevance International, and it is poised to steal the spotlight at the prestigious Monterey Car Week.
A Tribute to the Dark Knight
The B95 Gotham is more than just a car; it’s an icon of style and technology, deeply inspired by the enigmatic figure of Bruce Wayne, the alter ego of the legendary superhero Batman. This unique vehicle embodies the very essence of Automobili Pininfarina’s DNA, seamlessly blending Italian design, extraordinary performance, and uncompromising luxury.
Following a virtual debut that introduced four models from the Wayne Enterprises collection, it’s now time to witness the first of these exclusive creations in person. Alongside the B95 Gotham, the collection includes the Battista Gotham, the B95 Dark Knight, and the Battista Dark Knight, with each model being produced as a one-off.
A Concept Car Turned Reality
While the B95 Gotham is a concept car, the first customer model is already under construction at the Cambiano atelier. This vehicle collection is launched under Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products’ (WBDGCP) new luxury brand, inspired by Bruce Wayne. The two specifications, Gotham and Dark Knight, represent the dual and complex facets of Bruce Wayne’s character: his public persona as a suave innovator and tech entrepreneur, and his private life as Gotham City’s mysterious masked vigilante.
The B95 Gotham reflects Bruce Wayne’s passion for innovation and his refined, elegant taste. Like all versions of the B95 Barchetta, the exterior design features two electronically adjustable aerodynamic screens that divert air over the open cockpit. Wayne Enterprises logos adorn the bodywork, chassis plate, and door plates, adding to the car’s distinctive character.
Exquisite Design and Engineering
The B95 Gotham’s body, painted in a sleek glossy black “Argento Vittorio,” is characterized by flowing lines and refined details. The unique wheels feature a striking matte black inner ring and a glossy black outer ring, complemented by Titan calipers and a black anodized aluminum brushed center locking ring.
Inside, the B95 Gotham is a testament to Bruce Wayne’s sophisticated tastes, with a distinctive brown leather interior that includes custom quilting on the central panels and matching brown stitching. The car also boasts a Wayne Enterprises-inspired HMI display and a virtual assistant voice modeled after Alfred Pennyworth, the legendary Wayne family butler. A laser-engraved plaque on the driver’s door reads, “All men have limits… I ignore mine,” a famous quote from Bruce Wayne in the original comics.
Power and Performance
But the B95 Gotham is more than just a beauty to behold. Beneath its sleek exterior lies incredible power: a 1,900-horsepower engine that propels the car from 0 to 100 km/h in under two seconds, making it the most powerful car ever produced in Italy.
The B95 Gotham was photographed in a studio in Los Angeles, a location featured in the Dark Knight Trilogy (2005-2012). This collaboration between Automobili Pininfarina and WBDGCP comes as Warner Bros. celebrates Batman’s 85th anniversary in 2024, further cementing the B95 Gotham as a fitting tribute to the legacy of the Caped Crusader.
