Mmmmm yes the fabulous flaws of the inept and artistic.
The Joker wouldn\'t need anything more sophisticated than a big handful of steel nuts to bring all of that to a halt.
War on fantasies? Only when they are self indulgent gas guzzlers.
It\'s a pity he doesn\'t make neato 2 people cars that get 300Km to the litre.

Mr Stiffy, in case you didn\'t catch it, he owns a RACING company.
This is amazing, pretty awesome craftsmanship regardless of how ridiculous the original batmobile design is.
I also like how there is a replica the most beautiful car ever made (imo) toward the end of the vid.

Who cares if it makes 1/2 a mile per gallon and it\'s easy to make it stall ... Is a freaking Batmobile with a real jet egine on it!!!

Mr Stiffy still doesn\'t get it. This is one man\'s fantasy come to life, and as such, it\'s a remarkable artifact: it\'s ART.
So, Mr Stiffy, where is your 300 km/liter project vehicle, and when can we expect to see it?

I saw this car first hand at the Concours d\'Elegance. It is a remarkable piece of work.

Mr. Stiffy needs to take a chill pill...

Anybody who made fun of the sound of the TV Batmobile or the little flame coming out of the exhaust, owes Bruce Wayne an appology.

luan your so right :)

and the only thing batman has to do, to combat the \"nut attack\", is to fit a screen mesh.. stiffy you really need to cheer up.

The car: what an amazing piece of work. nuff said.

Cool! I think the engine would be a T50, based on the wikipedia article about it. Dates back to the 50s.
In the 60s, my college roommate\'s father worked for Chrysler\'s engine department where Sam Williams was developing their turbine car. The employees of that department were used as test subjects, which meant that my roommate got to ride in one for a few weeks when it was his dad\'s turn to test one. He said they would have fun using the exhaust to blow leaves off their front yard. I think Chrysler managed to get the mileage up to around 10 mpg by having a large heat exchanger that recycled the heat from the exhaust to the incoming air after the compressor. But turbines are generally very inefficient at much below their rated power so they turned out not to make a very practical auto power plant. Ford tried them in trucks for a while with the same result.
For a Batmobile, though, they\'re just fine.

I challenge the comment about being \'not very aerodynamic\'. Though there are obviously some un-necessary artistic styling enhancements it\'s not terribly far from the shape of a Le Mans prototype racer, would like to see a drag coefficient chart for it. Any and all fuel economy issues are due to use of a turbine as the powerplant which will obviously have a very inefficient idle and acceleration, but for consistently high power levels turbines can be more reliable than piston engines. The M1 abrams tank uses a turbine engine.
