DEUS finally took the wraps off its upcoming electric hypercar, the Vayanne, at the New York International Auto Show. The product of a collaboration between the Austrian company, Williams Advanced Engineering, and Italdesign, the hypercar should be powerful and exclusive enough for any enthusiast out there.
The automaker predicts that the Vayanne
will make more than 2,200 hp thanks to a vehicle platform
created by Williams Advanced Engineering, which should allow it to accomplish
some pretty impressive feats. DEUS wants the car to be able to hit 100
km/h in just 1.99 seconds and then continue accelerating all the way to a top
speed of more than 400 km/h.
Despite those monumental performance figures,
it has been designed with practicality in mind, too. DEUS says that it will
have 12 cm of ground clearance to get over any speed bump and will
have ample storage space. Indeed, practicality was as important as performance
in the creation of this vehicle. That same measured approach was taken to the
exterior design, which was accomplished with the help of Italdesign.
The automaker says that the front and rear
grilles were designed to look like the infinity loop while geometric shapes
throughout the rest of the vehicle speak to the geometric precision of the
vehicle.
Inside, DEUS has not opted for
a vegan interior but has chosen the most sustainably produced leather it can
find because of what it calls a commitment to zero waste for a circular economy
model. A fully digital instrument cluster and control display, meanwhile, mark
this out as a thoroughly modern vehicle and trim pieces that appear to be
sinking into infinity help define the interior of the car.
First deliveries of the DEUS Vayanne are
expected to begin in 2025 but you might want to get your order in before then
because the company plans to build just 99 of these all-electric hypercars.
