The Deus Vayanne is a 2,167bhp electric hypercar

A new electric hypercar has been revealed, with the Deus Vayanne boasting 2,167bhp and a sub-two-second 0-60mph time.

It has been built in collaboration with design and engineering firm Italdesign, and the technology and engineering arm of Williams F1, called Williams Advanced Engineering.

The latter two companies have been working together on an electric vehicle platform that will underpin the Vayanne.

That huge power output is matched by a massive 2,000Nm torque figure, while the top speed is said to be 248mph.

Its design is said to be a close collaboration between form and function, with the air ducts optimised for maximum performance, while also retaining symmetry across the vehicle. Up front, the forward and rear grilles have the design of an infinity loop, while the hexagonal pattern within the grille are made to look like angel wings.

There will also be a configurable sound system that dictates how the vehicle sounds while on the move.

Marco Volpengo, Italdesign head of automotive business development Europe, said: “We are really satisfied with the results achieved with the Vayanne, in this first phase of our collaboration with Deus.

“Thanks to our distinctive experience in low series vehicle development and manufacturing, we are able to provide our technical support and know-how. Moreover, we are excited to apply and integrate the innovative technologies provided by our partner Williams Advanced Engineering.”
