Warner Bros. Discovery is giving superfans and car enthusiasts a chance to purchase an iconic piece of movie history, if they happen to have access to $3 million dollars. The global media and entertainment company is allowing fans the opportunity to own a military-inspired Batmobile , made famous by the first film in Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy, “Batman Begins,” according to Hemmings .
Ten Batman Tumblers will be available for purchase for those who can afford the hefty price-tag, making this a true collector’s dream. Serious buyers will have to make peace with the fact that these ten Tumblers will not be street-legal, according to Hemmings. The cars are powered by a 6.
2-liter LS3 engine that packs a whopping 525 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque. General Motors gets the nod for creating a 4L85-E transmission that allows for some manual control by way of the car’s paddle shifters.
