Another day, another electric hypercar… but the latest 1641 kW Deus Vayanne that debuted in New York has some strong credentials that can back up some of its impressive performance claims.
You see, unlike many tech startups that dabble in battery powered sports cars, Austrian manufacturer Deus has paired up with two respectable industry leaders; Italdesign and Williams Advanced Engineering. This means that the fledgling automaker which is little less than two years old has been able to debut this real-life creation ahead of 99 units planned for production.
With the Williams name behind its belt, you know, the same one from Formula 1, Deus states the Vayanne can achieve a 0-100 km/h sprint within 1.99 seconds and continue onto a top speed of 400 km/h. These figures, along with the 1641 kW power output are all claimed but be sure to expect a price tag equally as large for the bespoke creations.
What we do know from the images of its debut is that the 1641 kW Deus Vayanne has employed the expertise of Italdesign to shape and contour the sort and cohesive forms of the exterior and plush looking two seater cockpit. Deus describes the exterior as a “design language of symmetry and infinity” which is further exemplified by the use of the lemniscate for the front air intake and taillight design.
This infinity symbolism is further continued in the cabin which features a digital instrument cluster and centre mounted infotainment screen. Fortunately, not everything has been digitised as buttons are festooned along the dash and integrated in a way that alludes to the high performance capability of the machine that lies beneath.
While there are more exotic looking electric hypercars that have come and gone before the 1641 kW Deus Vayanne, perhaps the company in their Germanic wisdom has decided to play this one safe in the hopes of success, relatively speaking. The 99 Vayannes will begin their deliveries in 2025 so any prospective buyers will have to wait their turn.
