The machine is based on a steel frame. The bodywork is carbon and fiberglass. The engine is the same as a Corvette. He develops a power of 525 horsepower while the Batmobile still weighs 2.5 tonnes. As for the copy visible in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, the car will be delivered in black. On the other hand, don’t expect to take advantage of the reactor at the back.
