- The Pininfarina B95 Gotham one-off will make its first public outing at the Monterey Car Week.
- This is one of the four hypercars inspired by Bruce Wayne, the civilian persona of Batman.
- The B95 Gotham has a price tag of €4.9 million ($5.3 million), as with the upcoming B95 Dark Knight.
Automobili Pininfarina will show the first of four Batman-inspired hypercars in Monterey Car Week in California. The fully electric Pininfarina B95 Gotham combines Rimac-sourced underpinnings with a roofless barchetta body and a spec inspired by the iconic Batman.
The Italian brand introduced all four bespoke hypercars in digital renderings on April 30, including two examples of the B95 and another two of the Battista. All of them are created in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) and Relevance International, which owns the rights to the fictional character, and the alter-ego of DC superhero Batman.

The real-life Pininfarina B95 Gotham will make its first public outing in California. To mark the occasion, it was photographed alongside the iconic Tumbler Batmobile, inside the studio featured in the Dark Knight Trilogy (2005-2012). The placement of the high-performance barchetta in the underground garage makes it look like the perfect daily driver next to the real Batmobile, at least for when Bruce Wayne is off duty and not driving his gray Lamborghini Aventador, as he did in the Dark Knight trilogy.
The model is finished in Argento Vittorio gloss black, combined with matt black and gloss black on the alloy wheels. The interior features tan leather upholstery with bespoke quilting and tan stitching. Pininfarina also added Wayne Enterprises logos on the bodywork, chassis plate, and door plates, alongside bespoke graphics on the infotainment display and a virtual assistant with the voice of Alfred Pennyworth (Bruce Wayne’s butler). Finally, the “All men have limits… I ignore mine.” quote is engraved on the driver’s side door plate.

As with the standard Pininfarina B95 Barchetta, the “Gotham” one-off is powered by quad electric motors producing a combined output of 1,874 hp (1,398 kW / 1,900 PS), and drawing energy from a 120 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The rest of the Batman-themed specials will also share the same Rimac-sourced underpinnings and specifications.
The Pininfarina B95 Gotham will make its public premiere at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering on August 16, as part of the 2024 Monterey Car Week. According to the company, the model will be a show car, as the actual one-off destined for their client is currently being built at the Pininfarina atelier in Cambiano, Italy.
The physical debuts of the Battista Gotham, B95 Dark Knight, and Battista Dark Knight will likely follow at a later date. Pininfarina will only build one of each, with a price tag of €3,400,000 ($3,704,249) for the Battistas and €4,900,000 ($5,338,477) for the B95s.
