If you want to be a bit more Bruce Wayne, now you can, with the Batman Tumbler.

It was the first officially sanctioned replica of the Batmobile driven by Batman in Cristopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy.

It’s on sale for a cool $2.99 million.

However, buyers beware: the Tumbler is not even street-legal.

The Batman Tumbler

As per the movie, billionaire playboy Bruce Wayn, acquired gadgets from Lucius Fox, former board member of the Applied Sciences Division of Wayne Enterprises.

The Batmobile was just one such piece of tech.

Not only is it a black armored tank, but the Tumbler is also equipped with weapons and has the ability to jump without the need for ramps.

The original model was made from parts taken from model cars, boats, and planes.

On a similar note, Warner Bros teamed up with Pininfarina to create a Batman supercar.

Want more? Mercedes modified the ‘world’s coolest car’ so it could be driven by Batman in Justice League.

The listing

Fans of the trilogy now have the chance to act out their superhero fantasy.

Fully functional, but sadly not street-legal, a 6.2-liter LS3 engine is hiding beneath the hood pumping out 486 pound-feet of torque, managed by a GM 8L85E transmission with paddle shifters.

Its Black External Paint certainly wouldn’t look out of place on the streets of Gotham City plus its Smoke Screen Delivery System probably shouldn’t be tested out on the school run.

It weighs in at around 5,551lbs (2,500kg).

Built around a tubular aeronautical steel frame it measures a whopping 15 feet 3 inches (4,663 millimeters) long, 9 feet 3 inches (2,835 millimeters) wide, and stands 5 feet (1,524 millimeters) from the ground.

With 15-inch wheels at the front and 18.5 units at the rear, it features four-wheel power disc brakes, flap actuators, and even simulates jet engines.

In the Batcave cabin

The black Alcantara race-car two-seater cabin features five-point harnesses.

For driver entertainment and information, there’s a Digital Performance Dashboard on a premium GPS 10-inch screen for both driver and passenger and an air conditioning system for comfort.

The replica was engineered and built by Action Engineering.

It can only be reserved exclusively via Wayne Enterprises.

Those who have $2.99 million to spare are invited to reserve one of the ten custom and authenticated examples.

They’ll be sold by invitation only – making them almost as exclusive as this unique, one-of-one bespoke Rolls-Royce that cost more than $25 million to create.
