Automobili Pininfarina’s B95 Gotham is the brand’s first car from the Wayne Enterprises Experience collaboration
Automobili Pininfarina has launched an one-of-one B95 Gotham, a luxury Barchetta inspired by Bruce Wayne, at Monterey Car Week. Share
Unveiled at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, Automobili Pininfarina’s bespoke B95 Gotham at Monterey Car Week is the first tangible result of a collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products and Relevance International. A unique ‘one-of-one’ masterpiece, the B95 Gotham pays tribute to the duality of Bruce Wayne—the billionaire alter ego of the legendary DC superhero Batman. The car embodies the innovation, elegance, and refined tastes of Wayne, brought to life under the new Wayne Enterprises luxury label.
This striking debut is part of a broader initiative that launched four one-off vehicles earlier this year: the B95 Gotham, the Battista Gotham, the B95 Dark Knight, and the Battista Dark Knight. These cars, marked by their exclusivity and attention to detail, are destined to become highly collectible. The B95 Gotham displayed in Monterey was a show car, while the first client vehicle from this exclusive series is currently being handcrafted in Cambiano, Italy.
The B95 Gotham’s design draws from the sophistication and high-tech sensibilities of Bruce Wayne’s public persona. The collaboration between Automobili Pininfarina and Warner Bros. Discovery celebrates the 85th anniversary of Batman in 2024, merging the world of luxury automobiles with iconic elements of Gotham’s shadowy universe. The two design themes—Gotham and Dark Knight—highlight distinct aspects of Wayne’s character. Gotham reflects his status as a visionary tech entrepreneur, while Dark Knight embodies the mystery and darkness associated with his role as the city’s masked protector.
The car’s exterior is both functional and visually striking. Two electronically adjustable aero screens channel air over the cabin, preserving the purity of the open-top Barchetta design while ensuring comfort at high speeds. The body is finished in a distinctive Argento Vittorio gloss black paint, contrasted by unique wheels with a matte black inner and gloss black outer ring. Details like Titan brake calipers and a brushed aluminium anodized centre lock ring enhance the car’s imposing presence. Wayne Enterprises logos on the body and interior elements reinforce the connection to its Gotham inspiration.
Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, said: “The B95 Gotham exemplifies how we bring our brand promise of ‘Dream Cars, Made Real’ to life for our clients. We place them at the centre of everything we do, and delivering bespoke and coach-built cars like this one is all driven by our vision and commitment to design unforgettable client experiences.”
The interior reflects Bruce Wayne’s taste for luxury and sophistication. Upholstered in tan leather with bespoke quilting, the cabin offers a blend of classic refinement and modern technology. The custom HMI display pays homage to Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne’s trusted butler, with a virtual assistant voice inspired by the character. A laser-engraved door plate bears the quote, “All men have limits… I ignore mine,” subtly nodding to the determined spirit of the Batman legacy.
Powered by a 1,900hp drivetrain, the car accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in under two seconds, making it one of Italy’s most powerful vehicles ever built. In 2024 Automobili Pininfarina returned to Monterey Car Week for the fifth time, delivering on the promise made 12 months ago to the same audience—that designing, developing and building bespoke and coach-built ultra-luxurious cars for discerning clients around the world remains at the heart of the business.
