DEUS unveils the Vayanne: its new EV hypercar designed by Italdesign

Three Brands, One Mission – Reimagining the Most Powerful Electric Hypercar in History

DEUS Automobiles, Italdesign, and Williams Advanced Engineering stand as one to inspire the way to luxury electric hypercars. This unique partnership emerged from DEUS’ ambition to design and create an electric hypercar set to become the benchmark of driving emotion. Our commitment to achieving perfection is further refined by Italdesign’s heritage and skills and Williams Advanced Engineering’s ground-breaking electrification technologies. The Vayanne design concept began to take shape in 2020 at DEUS Automobiles, and from the start it embodied the idea of merging an everlasting spirit with modernity and paying homage to DEUS’ Viennese roots.

Vayanne is the result of the three-way collaboration of philosophies and commitments with a shared goal of producing the first electric vehicle in automotive history to cross the 2,200 horsepower mark while delivering a comfortable and luxurious ride, outstanding performance figures, and maximum daily usability in the hypercar class.

With a ground clearance of 12 cm (4.7 inches) and useable storage space, the car is a perfect blend of performance and practicality, while harnessing an acceleration figure of under 1.99 seconds for the 100 km/h (0-62 mph) launch truly deserves the title of master of versatility.

The main exterior design feature is the taillight in shape of the infinity symbol. 

The Production Version of the DEUS Vayanne will Feature Expert Technical Support from Italdesign and Williams Advanced Engineering. The production version of the Vayanne will be limited to a series of 99 units, with the first delivery in 2025.

Battista Reversario

Automobili Pininfarina has reached new heights of automotive craftsmanship with the introduction of the Battista Reversario, a bespoke creation inspired by the Battista Anniversario and the concept of balance. Representing the epitome of ‘Dream Cars. Made Real’, this latest offering underscores Automobili Pininfarina’s commitment to crafting truly unique vehicles in collaboration with its clients.

Each vehicle produced at Automobili Pininfarina’s Cambiano atelier is a testament to individuality, reflecting the distinct personality of its owner. The Battista Reversario stands as a prime example of this ethos, showcasing the level of personalization available to discerning clients.

Collaborating closely with Automobili Pininfarina designers, the client has conceived a one-of-a-kind vehicle that embodies their vision and preferences. Already a collector of automotive rarities, the client’s acquisition of the fifth and final Battista Anniversario model laid the groundwork for the creation of the Battista Reversario.

A standout feature of the Battista Reversario is its unique color scheme, meticulously crafted to be the inverse of the iconic Pininfarina heritage-inspired design theme that characterized the Anniversario. The lower body gleams in Bianco Sestriere gloss, contrasting elegantly with the upper body finished in Grigio Antonelliano gloss.

Continuing the theme, the pinstripes echo the upper stripe in the signature Iconica Blu hue. Custom inscriptions, including the vehicle’s distinctive ‘Reversario’ nameplate, adorn the carbon side wings and the underside of the active rear wing, both forward-facing and in reflection.

Inside the cabin, Pilota seats feature white-on-white Alcantara quilting against a perforated background in Iconica Blu. While the overall ambiance is predominantly black, accent details such as the cupholder retainer, headliner center bezel, and seatbelts are highlighted in Iconica Blu, lending a harmonious contrast.

Completing the ensemble is an exclusive three-piece luggage set tailored to the client’s lifestyle. Crafted from luxurious black leather with Iconica Blu accents and off-white Alcantara quilting, the set exemplifies the ultimate in bespoke craftsmanship.

Speaking on the creation of the Reversario, the client remarked, “Anniversario and Reversario were destined to be created by the Automobili Pininfarina team. I simply challenged them to understand what could be created if you follow your heart and passion. All credit goes to them.”

Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, emphasized the significance of the Reversario as the ultimate expression of the company’s design philosophy. “Reversario was the ultimate commission. Taking inspiration from the original Anniversario, it is a reflection in every aspect, using a timeless combination of colors to create an opposite that works alone and together,” he stated.

Both the Battista Anniversario and Reversario stand as milestones in automotive history, representing the pinnacle of Italian engineering prowess. Powered by a cutting-edge electric powertrain, these hyper GTs offer unparalleled performance while embodying the luxury and elegance synonymous with the Pininfarina name.

With its blend of hypercar capabilities and GT comfort, the Battista series sets a new standard for automotive excellence, promising an exhilarating driving experience like no other. As the automotive world celebrates the harmony achieved through the creation of the Battista twins, Automobili Pininfarina reaffirms its commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive innovation.
