In Robert Pattinson’s Batman, Gotham’s cape-wearing crimefighting hero’s Batmobile is pretty much a modified version of a regular car. It is a nod to the OG Batman – before his rides kind of went out of this world. Meanwhile, in the real world, something similar has happened. No, still no Batman to kick bad guys’ asses but we do have real-life cars inspired by Gotham’s billionaire vigilante, Bruce Wayne.
In a three-way collab between Automobili Pininfarina, Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, and Relevance International, the renowned automaker and automobile designer introduced a collection of bespoke electric vehicles inspired by DC’s Bruce Wayne.
The collection features two highly exclusive versions: the B95 hyper Barchetta and the Battista hyper GT, each available in Gotham and Dark Knight specifications.
Both models are equipped with a 120 kWh lithium-ion battery and four motors producing 1,900 hp, achieving 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in under two seconds. These vehicles also boast Wayne Enterprises-inspired HMI displays with voice instructions reminiscent of Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne’s loyal assistant.
Key enhancements include tailgate shark fins and louver openings for improved aerodynamics, Wayne Enterprises logos, and a unique aluminum chassis and door plate. The interiors feature a new door and roof design with large curved glass sections to enhance the cabin’s ambiance.
The Gotham specification models are finished in Argento Vittorio gloss paint, feature tan leather interiors with bespoke quilting, and are equipped with 20-inch front and 21-inch rear alloy wheels in gloss and matt black finishes.
The Dark Knight specification models present a more stealthy appearance with Nero Profondo gloss paint, black Alcantara and leather upholstery, and black and gold stitching. These models also feature Glorioso ceramic-polished rims.
And yes, they are up for grabs but not surprisingly, they are pretty damn exclusive. This means money alone isn’t enough. We do not know how much they cost or how you can buy them. But if you are so inclined, you may hit up the real-life Wayne Enterprises website to enquire. The Tumbler is also available if anyone’s interested.
