Automobili Pininfarina Unveils Exclusive 'B95 Gotham' at Monterey Car Week, Celebrating Bruce Wayne’s Legacy
Automobili Pininfarina will unveil the first-ever physical model from its innovative Wayne Enterprises Experience collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) and Relevance International at Monterey Car Week. The bespoke B95 Gotham will make its global debut at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in California on Friday, 16 August.
The open-topped two-seater Barchetta will feature prominently on the Italian ultra-luxury car manufacturer’s stand. The B95 Gotham, a unique 'one-of-one' model, draws inspiration from the luxury lifestyle of billionaire Bruce Wayne, the alter ego of DC superhero Batman.
Following its virtual introduction on 30 April this year, the physical world premiere introduces the car alongside three other unique vehicles announced during the collaboration launch: the Battista Gotham, B95 Dark Knight, and Battista Dark Knight. Each model, limited to just one unit, offers unparalleled exclusivity and collectability.
The B95 Gotham showcased at Monterey serves as a display model. It is the first of four bespoke client vehicles being produced at the company’s atelier in Cambiano, Italy.
These vehicles emerge under WBDGCP’s new luxury brand, inspired by Bruce Wayne. The two models, Gotham and Dark Knight, reflect the dual aspects of Bruce Wayne’s persona: his public image as a sleek, tech-savvy innovator and entrepreneur and his secret identity as Gotham City’s enigmatic vigilante. This partnership celebrates Warner Bros. Discovery’s 85th anniversary of Batman in 2024.
Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, emphasised, "The B95 Gotham embodies our commitment to realising our clients' dream cars. Our dedication to bespoke, coach-built vehicles drives our mission to craft unforgettable client experiences."
The B95 Gotham mirrors Bruce Wayne’s passion for advanced innovation and sustainable technology, displaying a unique and meticulously crafted specification. This model includes two innovative, electronically adjustable aero screens that streamline airflow over its open cabin, while Wayne Enterprises logos adorn the body, chassis plate, and door plates.
The vehicle’s sleek body is coated in Argento Vittorio gloss black paint, complemented by unique wheels with a matte black inner and gloss black outer ring. Titan callipers and a brushed aluminium anodised black centre lock ring enhance its sophisticated appearance.
Internally, the B95 Gotham reflects Bruce Wayne’s refined taste, featuring distinctive tan leather upholstery with bespoke quilting on the centre panels and matching tan stitching. It also includes a custom Wayne Enterprises-inspired HMI display, with a virtual assistant voice inspired by Alfred Pennyworth, the legendary Wayne family butler. The driver’s side door plate is laser-engraved with Bruce Wayne's quote from the comics, "All men have limits... I ignore mine."
Paolo Dellachà, Chief Executive Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, shared, “Our partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products aligns perfectly with our values. Bruce Wayne's commitment to vision, courage, and relentless innovation reflects our ethos. This collaboration enhances our brand and inspires new enthusiasts to value Italian craftsmanship, high-performance engineering, and rich storytelling.”
All four Bruce Wayne-inspired editions, including the B95 Gotham, boast a staggering 1,900hp, propelling the car from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in under two seconds. This makes it the most powerful road car ever produced in Italy.
In 2024, Automobili Pininfarina marks its fifth appearance at Monterey Car Week, reaffirming its dedication to designing, developing, and building bespoke, coach-built ultra-luxurious cars for a global clientele.
