Behold The World’s First Real Electric Batmobile Ready To Take Down Bad Guys
When one thinks of electric vehicles, images of Elon Musk and Tesla probably come to mind. But when 23 year-old artist and architect Nguyen Dac Chung envisioned one, Batman and his iconic Batmobile filled his imagination.
Nguyen, and his partners at Hanoi based workshop, Marco Studios, are in the business of crafting superhero costumes. But if you were to ask him what piece he is most proud of, he would quickly answer The Dark Knight's epic crime fighting vehicle, the Batmobile. And he did not stop with just producing a concept vehicle that was simply for display purposes. No, "This is a fully operational tactical vehicle capable of freeway speeds," says Nguyen.
The beast weighs less than 600 kg and is capable of speeds up to 65 mph. It has an automatic transmission and is powered by an electric engine and Lithium Ion battery. There is room for two people, who can enter the vehicle via 2 automatic doors that open using a remote control. For improved visibility, the vehicle is equipped with 4 safety cameras and monitors.
