Pininfarina has lent their styling touch to models from legendary manufacturers including Ferrari, Maserati and Alfa Romeo over the years.
Now, though, the company is producing its own range of cars, with some fascinating design twists.
The Battista marque, named for founder Battista Pininfarina, is a relatively new kid on the block in the supercar world by comparison but is making quite a splash nonetheless.
It has so far produced two “industry-leading hypercars”, the B95 hyper-barchetta and the Battista hyper GT.
The former starts at over £4 million while the latter is a comparatively cheap £2 million.
Both are capable of over 200mph, with the hyper GT claiming to be the most powerful Italian sports car ever as it hits 222mph.
Two new variants of each model is set to be released as part of a joint project with the Wayne Enterprises Experience, a “first-of-its-kind retail theatre concept” launching this summer.
The invitation-only shopping extravaganza will feature a super-luxury Gotham version and a hard-hitting, ultra-powerful Dark Knight spec of each car.
Preview images show the Gotham to be a blacked-out, razor-sharp sportster will gull-wing doors, while the Dark Knight car will see the top removed to save weight and plush but functional race-style seats.
Paolo Dellachà, Chief Executive Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, said: “Our partnership with Wayne Enterprises through Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, DC and Relevance International is a natural fit for Automobili Pininfarina.
“It’s driven by our shared pursuit of pioneering and sustainable technologies to promote the future of mobility.
“This collaboration not only empowers us to ignite the imaginations of our clients but also to reach and inspire new and diverse audiences.”
Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at the brand, continued: “Designing an all-electric hypercar inspired by Bruce Wayne is a dream assignment for our team, giving them creative freedom to place themselves into the imagination of someone as iconic as Bruce Wayne.
“These two exclusive specifications for our two hypercars represent the ultimate vehicles for the man behind the most famous mask in the world.”
