According to Electrive, the hypercar is supposed to deliver 2.200 HP, 2.000 Nm of torque, an acceleration from 0 to 100 of under two seconds and a top speed limit of over 400 km/h.

Deus' goal with the Vayanne was to develop the first 2.200 HP while maintaining "a comfortable and luxurious driving experience, outstanding performance figures and maximum everyday usability in the hypercar class."

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

Last year, Italdesign and Williams Advanced Engineering developed a new platform for premium EVs that can be used to create custom EVs that would meet strict specifications from manufacturers.

The platform won't be used for high volume cars, Williams said, so the platform has been optimized for "performance, shorter time to market, flexibility and business cases for small to medium volume production."

Williams Advanced Engineering is known for its high-end racing cars, but the manufacturer will shift his attention to heavy duty vehicles, since the company acquired Fortescue Metals Group, an Australian mining firm.
