Deus has yet to launch an official automobile, but it has shown various other concept cars, such as 'The Umpteenth' electric hypercar. Essentially, Deus hopes to compete in the [luxury electric car market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ev-auto-brand) from its very first car. Italdesign and Deus currently have an unrevealed prototype for this upcoming electric hypercar which will be unveiled in the future. Italdesign has experience in the development and pre-series production stages, which will be of great benefit to Deus. As a result of Italdesign's lengthy history of collaborative vehicle development and Deus Automobile's commitment to launching a perfect car for its first vehicle, this upcoming hypercar will definitely disrupt the competition.
