Batmobile

This blog - designed ultimately for road cars today will look at something else, something more batlink. The batmobile is a mentalists dream, truely mental. Designed to be like a bat (which flys not drives) the car is essentially random. Randomly needed, randomly styled and randomly powered. Like a lot of film cars the batmobile has been powered by jet propulsion, petrol and even winchs. Crazy. You can't knock it for originality though - how many ford batmobiles you see parked on your street?


  • Engine: Jet Turbine
  • Fins: 2
  • Driver: Half Bat
  • Co Driver: Sometimes robin gets in
You might not find many used batmobiles about (especially in the uk where we are a little more sensible!) but you can find some great used car bargains!

Batmobile - oh no wait I mean Vector Avtech WX-8

Now as the title suggests the photo makes the Vector Avtech WX-8 look a little batty but it doesn't sound too bad - its credentials don't compare to yesterdays awesome auto, but it still looks alright...
But is alright enough? I mean if I was a millionaire (give me a few years) and I had a mill to blow on a "ultra-super-exotic vehicle" would I choose this? It may have some good people behind it but in the world of Veyrons, Ferraris and other earth moving sports cars does this 80% attainment pupil make it? We will have to wait and see!

  • Engine: V8 - hmm
  • Aspiration: Super Charger
  • 0-60: 3.3 seconds
  • BHP: 750 bhp / 560 KW
  • BHP per Litre: 107 bhp / litre
