Iconic Concierge Fall 2022

VAYANNE
FROM VIENNA WITH LOVE: 2,200 HP 1,475 LB-FT 0-100KM/H: 1.9S TOP SPEED 400KM/H
Deus Automobiles, one of the latest electric startups, has revealed
a hypercar with ridiculous horsepower, torque figures and a 99-unit
production run planned for 2025. First unveiled at the New York
International Auto Show, the DEUS Vayanne’s (day-oos vy-ahn)
electric hypercar has been developed with technical support from
Italdesign and Williams Advanced Engineering.
The company itself calls the car a “production-oriented concept,”
and we should mention that their performance numbers, which
would make the Vayanne the world’s most powerful production car
by a significant margin, are “computer-simulated performance, not
validated”.
The Vayanne’s front and rear grilles are inspired by an infinity loop,
and the more conventional interior design shows some infinity
inspiration with infinity mirrors used for accents on the dash and
door panels, creating a look that changes with the viewing angle.
The electric hypercar was also presented at the famed Concorso
d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in May, followed by its European debut during
the Top Marques Monaco 2022 in presence of HSH Prince Albert II
of Monaco.
No two of the 99 units will be exactly alike as each owner can
customize their Vayanne to their individual tastes. First deliveries
are expected in 2025, and each Vayanne will be built at Italdesign’s
facilities in Turin, Italy.

MONTEREY CAR WEEK
Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
It is North America’s most prestigious auto show,
celebrating history-making cars from the past, the
present and the future. A ten-day-long event on
the California Coast, Monterey Car Week features
nearly 30 car events including car shows, races,
and auctions. More than a thousand cars were up
for auction, with several hundred competing.
The Car Week finally concludes with the worldfamous
Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where
200 of the best collector cars in the world roll onto
the legendary 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links,
hoping for one of the handful of awards in recognition for
style, technical merit, and historical accuracy.
This year’s Best in Show was a 1932 Duesenberg J Figoni
Sports Torpedo (top), owned by Lee Anderson of Naples,
Florida. His first win and the seventh for a Duesenberg, the
honour rewards years of work: The car was split in two in the
1960s - its body was removed from the chassis and attached
to another Model J - and Anderson searched for the missing
half for decades before piecing it back together.
