Pininfarina has teamed up with Warner Bros. to unveil a stunning new hypercar that has everyone talking. The Pininfarina B95 Gotham, inspired by none other than the Dark Knight himself, made its dramatic debut at The Quail during Monterey Car Week. This unique creation is a perfect blend of classic motoring heritage and cutting-edge technology, fitting for a car inspired by Bruce Wayne’s dual life as a billionaire playboy and Gotham’s caped crusader.
The B95 Gotham is an open Barchetta two-seater that harks back to the golden age of motoring, with its design taking cues from early 20th-century race cars. However, this is no ordinary homage; it’s a hypercar that embodies the spirit of Wayne Enterprises, the fictional company that powers much of Batman’s high-tech arsenal. The Wayne Enterprises logo is proudly displayed on the car’s body, chassis plate, and door sills, making it clear that this vehicle is something special.
Pininfarina has chosen a sophisticated Argento Vittori gloss black paint for the car, perfectly complemented by unique wheels featuring matte black inner and gloss black outer rings, along with a black center lock ring. The exterior’s sleek and menacing look contrasts beautifully with the luxurious tan leather interior, which includes quilted stitching in the center panels—a nod to both elegance and comfort.
While the B95 Gotham may draw aesthetic inspiration from the past, its technology is nothing short of futuristic. The HMI (Human-Machine Interface) display is customized with a Wayne Enterprises theme, complete with a virtual assistant that sounds just like Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler. It’s these kinds of thoughtful details that set this hypercar apart from anything else on the road.
Performance is where the B95 Gotham truly shines. Despite its vintage-inspired looks, it boasts a jaw-dropping 1,900 horsepower and can rocket from 0 to 62 mph in under two seconds. Electronically adjustable aero screens are designed to channel air up and over the open cockpit, ensuring that the driver and passenger remain comfortable even at high speeds.
As of now, only one Pininfarina B95 Gotham exists, making it a true one-of-a-kind masterpiece. However, Pininfarina plans to build four more for select customers, with the possibility of additional bespoke models inspired by the Batman universe in the future. These hypercars are likely to become some of the most coveted collector’s items for both car enthusiasts and Batman fans alike.
The B95 Gotham isn’t just a car; it’s a statement—a symbol of luxury, power, and the enduring appeal of the Batman legend. As Pininfarina continues to push the boundaries of automotive design, collaborations like this one prove that the intersection of pop culture and high-performance engineering can produce truly spectacular results.
