Bet the afterburner doesn't work Laughing

I can't see how many people will spend £100k on a batmobile replica, when it isn't actually going to perform very well (what looks like a 4cyl engine) and look at them tyres Shocked

I like how they justify the £100k pricetag just by simply saying that if you park it next to another £100k car then people will look at the batmobile more than the other car! Sure, that makes it worth £100k!

Is it just me or do those wheels look like generic old hatchback wheels? I'd at least want some tasty alloys for my £100k.

I'd pay £100k for this though:

Parking may be an issue, but hey, just drive over them instead.

Wouldn't take the thing if I was paid. The front steelies are awful.

Driving it about most British cities these days, you'd probably get bricks thrown at you, lol.

I'm quite sure if you parked this next to a Veyron, more people would be drawn to the Sierra Laughing

Yep just shows Matthirst didn't look very hard or read it.

I think it looks cool, though panel fit is a bit poor round the canopy and I suspect if you got close it'd look cheap and horrible, but for £140K to be built from scratch it's not bad by todays prices.

Reminds me of an SR-71 or a Northrop B2 from the front, the back is horrible.

No mention of batman forever.

The car looks like the one in the 1989 film 'Batman' with Michael Keaton.

Oh yeah you're quite right, there's no mention of the car being a replica of the batman forever one in the bbc video highlighted by Slimrick above is there. Perhaps around 1m50 into the video you should have been watching Wink Razz
