A Batmobile! A real Batmobile, jet engine and all! This is a one off custom built using the chassis corvette, but as you can see it clearly looks nothing like its original shape. It was just recently completed in 2011. It is powered by a Boing jet engine. A JET ENGINE, in a car. Gone are the days of using pyrotechnics to make it look like a jet blast. The jet engine is a Boing turbo shaft engine producing a modest 365 hp. Now that may seem weak in today’s world where a Ford Taurus produces the same power from a twin-turbo V6. That shouldn’t put you off though, because everyone know a Batmobile is immeasurably cooler than a plain-looking ford. Getting to the practical stuff, it has all the necessary equipment for road use and is DOT approved. It has disc brakes with fully independent, cockpit adjustable suspension. It also has, most importantly, a dash mounted Ipad with 3G and a stereo system. It runs on both Grade A jet fuel and diesel, which is good because finding Jet fuel can be very frustrating, lets say if your in the middle of suburbia. This would an excellent car for someone who is in the midst of a mid life crisis. It would be fun and exciting while having complete exclusivity. You wouldn’t have to worry about your neighbor across the street one-uping you with the latest Ferrari or Aston Martin. In the end the post comes down to one word, epic. I really don’t have much knowledge on this car to share with the readers but it was just too epic to not bring to peoples attention.
