Step aside, vintage convertibles, and feel free to just reverse yourself out of the picture, souped-up SUVs: We all know what the real dream car is. That would be the Batmobile.
Yes, the Dark Knight’s tricked-out ride is enviable, as our look at the latest iteration for 2016′s “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” confirmed. Who wouldn’t want to roll down the streets of Gotham — or any city — in that bad boy?
Well, according to a report from CNBC, everyone except those with very deep pockets should keep dreaming. We’re talking millions of dollars deep.
Ryan Friedlinghaus, host of “West Coast Customs,” gave a prediction in the range of $3 million for the Zack Snyder Batmobile, based on the pictures. However, he added, that doesn’t count the practical upgrades that a Batmobile would need on the streets.
“If a defense company was to make a vehicle like that, you’ve got to make it bulletproof, there are so many other pieces to it, then to make it look pretty and move around and drive,” he said. “I mean, this thing has to go into war, I would say triple that.”
Hear that? If you’ve got $9 million and the determination to get the darn thing built, you could be rolling Caped Crusader style.
