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.

British carmaker Morgan, in partnership with renowned Italian design house Pininfarina, has completed the first two units of the highly anticipated Midsummer model at its historic Pickersleigh Road factory. These cars, destined for the UK and Germany, are the first to roll off the production line from a limited series of just 50 hand-built examples.

The Midsummer is a celebration of classic European barchetta designs, paying homage to the golden era of open-top sports cars that once dominated the roads of Europe. A true testament to the art of coachbuilding, each Midsummer represents not just a car but a masterful blend of craftsmanship and design, highlighting the enduring capabilities of Morgan’s skilled artisans.

Morgan’s collaboration with Pininfarina, famous for its iconic automotive creations, has resulted in a reinterpretation of the timeless Morgan silhouette. The two companies have merged their rich design heritages to craft the Midsummer as both a tribute to tradition and a forward-looking statement in the world of bespoke automobiles.

In a nod to Pininfarina’s storied design legacy, the Midsummer proudly wears the exclusive “fuoriserie Pininfarina” badge, a mark previously seen on prestigious models such as the BMW Lusso Coupé and the Ferrari Sergio. This badge signifies a select group of vehicles that embody the highest levels of custom automotive craftsmanship and design refinement.

Morgan’s Pickersleigh Road factory, where these first two Midsummer units were completed, has long been known as a hub of traditional car-building techniques. Despite its history, the factory remains at the cutting edge of bespoke automobile production, blending old-world craftsmanship with modern technology.

With the first two Midsummers now heading to the UK and German markets, Morgan and Pininfarina have set the stage for what will undoubtedly become one of the most sought-after collector’s items of the automotive world. The exclusivity of only 50 cars being produced adds to its allure, ensuring that the Midsummer will be a jewel in any garage it graces.
