Owning a piece of cinematic history has just become a reality, as Warner Bros Discovery Global Consumer Products and Relevance International unveil ten authentic, drivable Batmobiles inspired by Batman’s iconic Tumbler from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy. These remarkable replicas are not just for show; they are full-scale, custom-built vehicles that capture the essence of the original design, complete with a sleek black finish that mirrors the film’s aesthetic.
The Tumbler’s design remains faithful to its on-screen counterpart, showcasing its distinctive geometric and spiky shapes that have captivated fans since the movies debuted. Crafted by Action Vehicle Engineering, these drivable Batmobiles are a testament to meticulous engineering and artistry, ensuring that every detail aligns with the beloved character’s legacy.
Each Batmobile is tailored to the owner’s specifications, featuring bespoke interiors that reflect personal tastes. With a unique identification number and a certificate of authenticity from Warner Bros. Discovery, these vehicles are not just cars; they are coveted collectibles for die-hard fans of the DC Comics universe.
However, there is a caveat: while the Tumbler is fully functional and ready to hit the road, it is not street-legal. This limitation means that unless owners have access to expansive private spaces, their Batmobile will primarily serve as a stunning display piece, a tribute to the Dark Knight for all to admire.
Inside the Tumbler, Action Vehicle Engineering has gone above and beyond, outfitting the cabin with luxurious black Alcantara seating and one-way mirrored glass screens. The driver is equipped with a state-of-the-art GPS displayed on a 10-inch screen, while the dashboard retains the original style that fans recognize from the films, ensuring an authentic driving experience.
When it comes to performance, the drivable Batmobile is nothing short of extraordinary. It features a robust 6.2L LS3 engine that churns out an impressive 525 horsepower, seamlessly paired with a GM 4L85E transmission equipped with paddle shifts for an exhilarating driving experience. Crafted from top-tier materials such as kevlar, carbon fiber, and tubular steel—often found in aerospace engineering—this vehicle is designed to turn heads and command respect on the road.
To enhance the Batmobile experience to new heights, a jet engine simulation injects an exhilarating thrill, enveloping you in an ambiance of sheer power and excitement, all without the risk of real flames. At present, just ten lucky individuals can call this drivable Batman Tumbler their own. However, it’s important to remember that, as it is, the Batmobile isn’t street-legal. The price tag? A staggering $3 million USD.
