12 Of The Most Expensive Cars For Sale In 2024

Launched at the 2022 New York International Auto Show, the Vayanne is the first car from the Austrian supercar startup Deus. Ambitious car startups are a dime a dozen, but Deus does boast some notable partnerships that put its chances of production a cut above most. For example, its founders have inked a deal with Italdesign to build cars in its facility in Turin, Italy, from 2025. Italdesign’s factory has previously built everything from the BMW M1 to the recent Nissan GTR-50, and also the brand’s own limited-run hypercar, the Zerouno.

Also partnered with Deus is William Advanced Engineering, a former division of the Williams F1 team that now operates as a standalone EV specialist. As the main supplier of batteries in a variety of motorsport disciplines from Formula E to the WEC Hypercar (LMDh) class, Williams has plenty of prior experience making world-beating EV powertrains.

Since the car is still in development, final performance figures haven’t been pinned down, but the car’s provisional power output stands at 2,243 horsepower, with a 0-60 mph time of less than two seconds and a top speed in excess of 250 mph. Also yet to be confirmed is the exact starting price, although a figure of $2.5 million has been previously reported by Autocar.
