A life-sized replica of the Batmobile, as seen in Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns movies, is set to go up for auction at Bonhams, Saturday, March 20, 2021. It's estimated to fetch £20,000 to £30,000 (RM114,000 to RM171,000).
The model going under the hammer is believed to have been built a few years ago by the British firm Z Cars and is based on a 1965 Ford Mustang. Here, the original sportscar has been given a spaceframe chassis and fibreglass body. It is powered by a Chevrolet 5.7-liter small block V8 engine producing a reported 380 bhp. The interior is also faithful to the cockpit developed by the superhero. Beware though, because while the buttons and controls may be present, there are no special gadgets installed in the car.
