It may sound a little weird at first thought, but the hypercar segment currently is very crowded. In fact, there’s no actual definition of what a hypercar means but in general, this is a limited, high-performance, top-of-the-line supercar that costs a lot. It’s difficult to say which model started the hypercar segment — some say this was the McLaren F1 — but there are now several vehicles that compete in this niche segment. It seems that there’s always room for more, though.
A new company established in Vienna, Austria, some two years ago is preparing to launch its first product. Deus Automobiles wants to take on the competition by offering its “fresh and objective vision and innovative concepts in terms of luxury, performance, and exclusivity.” Admittedly, that’s a pretty vague statement, though an official press release confirms the new hypercar will have a purely electric powertrain developed in cooperation with Williams and Italdesign.
