Such a good replica, even Batman would be convinced it's real

Batman and Gotham City may be fictional DC Comics creations, but that doesn't mean you can't live out your superhero fantasies with a Batmobile of your own. This particular one is for sale on Exotic Car Trader, and you can check out the listing by clicking here.

This Batmobile is built on the chassis of a 1994 Chevrolet Caprice LS and is titled as a 1994 Chevrolet. If you're curious as to why a Caprice was chosen as the base of this, the real Batmobile used two Chevrolet Impala chassis spliced together, resulting in a car that was about 20 feet long. Under the hood of this one is a reportedly new 305 cu in V8 engine mated to a new 700R4 automatic transmission, whereas the movie car used a 327 cu in V8. The 305 V8 sports a Holley EFI Sniper system that can be controlled from a screen within the cabin. Underneath is a new suspension with a new Wilwood dual master brake system, which includes new rotors, pads, calipers, and lines.

Looks-wise, it's as close as you can get without being a certified movie prop. Based on the model introduced in Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Returns movies and driven by Michael Keaton, it comes complete with the satin black paint job, movie-correct lighting, pulsating side jet turbines, machine guns, and even a flamethrower that can shoot 8-foot flames behind the car. All four corners sit on airbags, so you can ride low and slow as The Caped Crusader to your local cars and coffee. Oh, and yes, it's all street legal.

Ride to Gotham City in luxury

The cabin features Recaro seats, a carbon fiber dashboard, a carbon fiber wrap, a touchscreen console, and all of the gauges, dials, knobs, and lights that you could want, with some indicating vital car stats like oil pressure and temperature. Unlike Batman, you can bask in the luxury of air conditioning, Bluetooth audio, and the seven exterior cameras that I'm sure are much needed with something of this size. Better yet, a separate battery runs all of the lights and special effects, so you can flex in peace without worrying that you won't be able to drive away at the end of the show.

Final thoughts

I'm not a particularly massive Batman aficionado, but I can recognize a good replica when I see one, and this is it. Everything from the curves to the wings to the lights to the cabin is damn impressive and a clear indicator that money was no object when this Batmobile was built. I was fortunate enough to see one of the authorized Batmobiles at the Petersen Automotive Museum, and if you put the two next to each other, I couldn't tell the difference. The fact that the turbines pulse and that the rear jet can shoot eight-foot flames from the back is just the icing on top of the bat-shaped sundae.

As you would expect, something of this magnitude won't sell for cheap, but the $275,000 asking price might be reasonable if you live and breathe Batman and a perfect Batmobile replica is just what you need in your driveway.
