NEW YORK: DEUS Automobiles of Austria is showcasing its luxury electric hypercar concept called Vayanne at the New York auto show.
DEUS said it aims to make the Vayanne the first electric vehicle to cross the 2,200hp mark while delivering a comfortable and luxurious ride, outstanding performance figures, and maximum daily usability in the hypercar class.
The car is the result of a collaboration with Italdesign and Williams Advanced Engineering.
The production version of the Vayanne will be limited to a series of 99 units, with the first delivery scheduled in 2025.
Now if you have never heard of DEUS Automobiles, it's all right. Neither have we. It's a new setup formed in Vienna in 2020.
DEUS said the Vayanne design concept was meant to embody the idea of "merging an everlasting spirit with modernity" and paying homage to the company's Viennese roots.
With a ground clearance of 12cm and useable storage space, the car integrates performance and practicality, while harnessing an acceleration figure of under 1.99 seconds for the 100kph launch.
DEUS said it is the first to implement the Halo Infinity mirror throughout a vehicle’s interior.
This design feature is vital to carrying over DEUS’ infinity theme from the production-oriented hypercar concept’s exterior to its interior.
It embraces the whole interior from the doors throughout the dashboard and confers the infinite feeling of DEUS.
The effect changes in regard to the viewing angle, a trait incorporated to suggest that everyone’s view is unique.
The Vayanne will come with a configurable DEUS Active Sound to further enhance the driving experience.
Williams Advanced Engineering and Italdesign are no strangers to collaboration; announcing a unique partnership in April 2021 for a high performance, flexible EV platform; EVX, supporting a long-term vision for EV architecture.
This rolling chassis used Williams Advanced Engineering’s expertise in electrification, light-weighting, innovative chassis structures and vehicle and system integration.
The production version of the Vayanne will feature expert technical support from Italdesign and Williams Advanced Engineering.
