Most Batmobile replicas look awesome, and some even come with nifty gadgets, but they all fall short of the power they have in the movies.
Leave it up to one man, by the name of Casey Putsch, to change that.
Putsch, the man behind Putsch Racing, an outfit that restores, designs and appraises all manner of items automotive, has taken it upon himself to bring us what he calls "the only turbine-powered Batmobile in the world."
Under the (extremely long) hood of Putsch's Batmobile, sits a Boeing turboshaft engine plucked from a naval drone helicopter. The power output is rated at 385hp, which is outstanding for a vehicle that weighs around the 2,800 pounds mark.
Inside, the interior looks incredible, with an Apple iPad taking the center stage of his super(hero)car, which acts as his avionics system and also supplies GPS information.
Bruce Wayne need not worry, but still.
