Macro Studios, a Vietnamese company specializing in replicas of movie theater clothing and accessories, has recreated a 100% electric version of the Tumbler, the Batmobile used by Christian Bale in Batman the dark knight.
Unlike the original model, the new Batmobile now features an electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery, capable of giving the car a top speed of just 105 km/h. So that the reader of Kenyannews have an idea, the old version was equipped with a 500hp 5.7 V8 engine, which gave it much more speed.
The bodywork, however, does not show any difference, being very similar to the model used in the movies. As it has a smaller engine and carbon fiber “armor”, the electric Batmobile weighs just 600kgs, just under a third of the original version.

The exhaust, traditional in all Batman cars, is only figurative, as the car runs on an electric motor without emission and any noise.
The price of the electric Batmobile was not revealed, but with the costs considerably lower due to the materials used, the values is certainly lower than the Tumbler in the movies.
All this work was led by artist Nguyen Dac Chung, head of Macro Studios. To see the electric Batmobile up close, it is on display at the Van Daryl automotive gallery in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
