Batmobile’s Tumbler

One of the biggest stars of the Batman series has always been the Batmobile. The latest iteration is the offroad indestructible tank-like beast, the Tumbler is made to jump, wreck hit speeds of 100mph. Here’s the best part, it is powered by one of the most common powerplants in America; the LS1. This 400bhp beast powered two of the tumblers. To keep up with the 30-foot jumps, they installed a long-travel suspension to the front, giving it 30 inches of travel. Two cars were built this way for the action scenes, but two more were built. One had a working hydraulic system and interior for close-ups. The final one has a propane-fueled exhaust to give the looks of a real jet engine in the rear. This wasn’t just an all-show, no-go movie ride. It actually did the stunts. It actually made the jumps. This earns the Tumbler’s spot as one of our favorites.
