If you’re a Batman fan, this one’s for you. A company called Character Cars has recently been hired to modify the 2002 Toyota MR2 to resemble a Christian Bale-era Batmobile. This will not be a mass-produced car, and there will only be one—would Batman have it any other way?
Toyota Batmobile Details
The epic Batmobile will be a highly modified version of the Toyota MR2, which is a rear-wheel drive, sporty, high-performance Toyota car from the early 2000s. It’s pretty obvious why such a classic Toyota car is being used for the Batmobile, and we here at Sansone Toyota believe there’s no better fit for such a concept.
The Toyota Tumbler will offer accents that we’ve all seen in the movies, such as a faux flame-throwing exhaust and a shifter head with the Batman logo on it. In addition, it will feature an upgraded suspension, dramatic front tires, and a 2.0-liter engine that achieves up to 400 horsepower. The vehicle is also slated to feature front and back infrared cameras, which can help drivers back up and park without crashing into objects. Even Batman knows that safety is first.
However, our favorite part here at Sansone Toyota is the random police lights and sirens that will be included. Unfortunately, these are just for fun, and you won’t be allowed to go out patrolling other drivers.
Is the Toyota “Batmobile” for Sale?
Only one Tumbler-inspired Toyota will be made. However, it is for sale. The vehicle will be auctioned at an event called Historics Auctioneers in England. Rumor has it that the Batmobile will likely go for about $150,000, and the car will be functional for novelty use only.
While our Toyota dealership serving Union, NJ may not offer any Batmobiles, we do sell new Toyota cars that will make you feel like a superhero – with some imagination.
