Word out of the streets of Sweden is that this real-life replica of the Batmobile was based on a 1973 Lincoln Continental chassis that has been modified with a slew of gadgets that would make even Batman’s utility belt obsolete. The Batmobile comes with rear-view video cameras, voice recognition controls, a height-adjustable suspension, GPS, a plasma screen TV, and of course, a DVD player.
For the car to look exactly like the one used in the first two Batman flicks directed by Tim Burton, the Swede reportedly spent close to $1 million and used up about 20,000 hours just to get the full scope of the Batmobile, right down to the minutest of details.
