Are you a hopeful vigilante? An enthusiast of exotic and extremely limited cars? Want to give the superhero career path a shot, but set your foundation on material goods and looking cool, rather than morals or character? Then this street-legal Batmobile replica could have your name on it, so long as you can afford the price tag of $1 million.
Recently listed on James Edition, an online marketplace for aficionados of the insanely expensive, this edition of Batman’s Tumbler from the Dark Knight trilogy is, mechanically, a solid attempt at Bruce Wayne’s vehicle.
According to the listing, the Tumbler has a “custom-built frame, chassis, and drive line,” and is equipped with a 5.7 liter, 8-cylinder Chevrolet LS1 engine under the hood that is capable of cranking out an estimated 310 horsepower. The rear end has four 44-inch “super swamper tires with custom rims” so you can go mudding as well as cruising through your own life’s rendition of Gotham (if you’re into the whole mudding thing).
Sadly, the transmission only comes in automatic, possibly so the driver has an extra hand to fiddle with all of the buttons that set off the Tumbler’s most badass features. No, I’m not talking missiles and machine guns – this Batmobile has been stripped of those excesses. Instead, the custom interior is decked out with a much cooler global GPS, a DVD/CD player, and built-in iPod integration.
Since there aren’t many windows in the Tumbler, there are “five driver-assist cameras” that can do all the work of looking for pedestrians and telephone poles, so you don’t have to.
This “insane vehicle” has been built to be street legal, but the listing warns to “please understand that this is not a daily driver.” Looks like you’ll have to keep your escapades to the weekends. Check out the full gallery below.
