If you can spend 3 million in a caryou can buy some of the most exclusive supercars out there, but you’ll probably end up meeting someone who drives the same car in Monaco, the United Arab Emirates, Porto Cervo or Miami.
On the other hand, if you buy Batman’s car you will be much more original. And Warner Bros. has just put up for sale 10 replicas with great detail of the Tumbler he was driving. Batman in ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy.

Any of the cars that Batman has used in all his films is spectacular, but there is one that stands out above the rest, simply because it is brutal. This is the Batmobile used by Batman in the Batman trilogy. ‘The Dark Knight’ directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale.
The first movie, ‘Batman Begins’ was released in 2005 and it was the first time we saw this beastly Batmobile. known as ‘Tumbler’. In the film, Bruce Wayne, Batman’s alter ego, decided to buy him through his company Waine Enterprises; Originally, it was a prototype of an armored military vehicle with camouflage and weapons created for the army, but it ended up becoming Batman’s car. The rest is history.
The truth is that, beyond fiction and the fictitious capabilities of the car, such as the ability to jump, no matter how you look at it, it has a spectacular design. It even managed to surprise Jay Leno, who had the opportunity to try it more than 10 years ago. on his YouTube channel.
That unit that Jay Leno drove belongs to Warner Bros., not even he could buy this car. But things have changed since then because now Warner Bros. itself has put it up for sale. 10 units from Batman’s Tumbler.
Son 10 replicas which is manufactured by the Californian company Action Vehicle Engineering and can only be purchased by invitation, although you can request one of these invitations through the website of Wayne Enterprises. If you’re lucky and it’s your turn, you can buy The Dark Knight’s car.
Obviously, the 10 units will be painted in black and all will use a General Motors 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine which develops 525 HP and sends a maximum torque of 660 Nm to the rear wheels, always linked to a GM 4L85E automatic gearbox with paddles behind the steering wheel to shift in manual mode.
The chassis is tubular and made of steel, while the exterior and interior use Kevlar, carbon fiber, steel and fiberglass. Despite resorting to light materials, weighs approximately 2,500 kgNot surprisingly, it measures about 4.65 meters long and more than 2 meters wide. In addition, it has huge wheels, especially the rear ones, but the front ones are not far behind.
In addition to having the design of the original Tumbler, it has a system that is capable of expelling smoke and an imitation of the jet engine that the original car has in fiction, although Warner Bros. clarifies that it does not emit flames.
For the first time, you can own a full-scale replica of Batman’s iconic Tumbler from The Dark Knight Trilogy. Only 10 are available. Inquire at @WBD @batman @dcofficial @RelevanceIntl #WayneEnterprises #BruceWayne #Batman #DC #Batmobile #Tumbler pic.twitter.com/sGeSptarW9

The interior also imitates that of the original car, but certain comfort concepts are allowed, such as the GPS navigator, the 10” touch screen or the air conditioning. It can only have two seats, the 10 units have the steering wheel on the left and the table can indicate the data in miles or kilometers. The problem is that this car can’t drive legally anywhere in the world because it is not approved for use on public roads.
It’s a shame because the idea that someone could buy this car to drive on a daily basis is very striking. Of course, it is not available to everyone, not only because you cannot buy it if you do not have an invitation, but because it costs 3 million dollars, the equivalent of the current exchange rate to about 2.76 million euros. Furthermore, when you order it and pay a deposit, you will have to wait 15 months until it is delivered to you.
