Batmobile clone “floats” out of house – Video: jb_kanal/TikTok
TikToker jb_kanal is grabbing the attention of netizens by creating a museum-worthy replica of the Batmobile of Middle Eastern billionaire Rainbow Sheikh, who is known for his obsession with big cars.
However, the sheer size of the car is not due to a genius mechanic but to the cameraman.
The filming angle made JB_Kanal’s Batmobile look like it was ready to be bulldozed off road like a roller coaster. But in fact this car is only comparable to C-shaped cars.
At 4.6m long, 1.3m wide, this Batmobile is only the size of a Volkswagen Golf – Photo: jb_kanal
The most unusual thing about the car are its wheels. The wheels look huge, so few would expect the wheel size to be only 15 inches – Photo: jb_kanal
The secret to making the wheel huge lies in the rubber tyres. Including the tyres, the front wheel measures 29 inches in diameter, the rear wheel is even bigger at 44 inches – photo: jb_kanal
The frame is made of steel and fiberglass, the shape is exactly the same as the Golf, but jb_kanal’s Batmobile weighs up to 2,500 kg, which is comparable to a Ford or Chevrolet pickup truck. For comparison, the Volkswagen Golf weighs only 1,300kg depending on the model – photo: jb_kanal
Another difference that proves jb_kanal’s Batmobile isn’t just a C-shaped car is the 300-horsepower V8 engine. With this engine, when there is enough space, the car can take off like flying close to the spirit of the icon in the movie – Photo: jb_kanal
This copy has a side windshield, no rear window, so it’s a bit difficult to see. In turn, the car is equipped with 4 cameras, which is enough to minimize this inconvenience – Photo: jb_kanal
TikToker made this Batmobile not for “selfies” but for sale. There aren’t few Batmobile makers, but not too many sellers, so this car is very interesting.
TikTok does not set a price, but rather leaves it up to those who are interested to negotiate. He is quite confident as this is not an indoor display product, but is completely legal to run on the street.
Whatever the price, it definitely can’t exceed the $1.5 million mark. Because that’s the price of the “real” Batmobile from Tim Burton’s movie at auction.
Meanwhile, a Batmobile replica from the Nolan trilogy has sold for $399,000, according to Hot Cars.
