Summary
A fully road-legal 1989 Batmobile replica with a claimed 1,000 horsepower drew crowds, phones and traffic-side stares when its owner drove it on public streets.
The 22-foot custom build is more than a show car: it has headlights, turn signals, seat belts, heat, air conditioning and an automatic fire-suppression system.
Three onboard cameras help offset almost nonexistent rear visibility, while the owner said police have previously pulled him over just to take photos with the car.
The owner, an emergency medicine doctor, said the project was less about speed than recreating the experience of driving one of Hollywood's most iconic movie cars.
