Christopher Nolan brought his Batman trilogy, the notion of ‘the Batmobile’ to a whole new level. This is why this car is so very cool.

The Tumbler is the exception to the rule that everything in movies nowadays with the CGI needs to be made. Warner Brothers made this vehicle just really. And it is important to not build on an existing chassis, but to create a whole new ‘car’, powered by a Chevy V8.

In his spacious garage welcomes Jay Leno, the car, and one of its creators. Striking facts that in the conversation along: there are seven made – all with different specialties – and the production costs are between 5 tons and 1 million dollars per piece. In addition, you have two man need to get him to drive (except if you’re Bruce Wayne is called) and is the entry level for baby boomers as Leno not easy.

Below, a ride in one of the real Tumblers where some of the Gumballers can only dream of. Careful not to put too much on the jankgeluid, that comes purely by the straight cut (explanation) in the gearbox.
