I think it is better to name the maker 'unknown' and the model 'Batmobile'. There is certainly a real car from a real maker underneath. |

the last "Batmobile", is a full "original" car, with an C6 Corvette engine, fit on tubular chassis, with many other parts from other cars (transaxle, axle, ...), and "home made" parts to link all of this parts. Obviously, many false cars are used for scenes. But on other scènes, it's a self-running car, with engine, steering, driver, and others stuffs. The source : article on "Nitro magazine", about the "new" Batmobile. Hope many people can understand my poor description  -- Last edit: 2006-01-02 18:33:04 |

Au contraire! Your description is very well understandable! Does the article say who actually made the Batmobile? We could use the person or company as the maker. |

These Batmobiles (yes, there is more than one) were built in England off the stretched-out platforms of a Chevrolet Caprice and a Buick Riviera, which were literally scrounged from a scrapyard. The cars were fully driveable and used in the two Batman films directed by Tim Burton. |

Again the question: who made them? |

Batmobile history: http://www.batmobilehistory.com/ Some interesting info on Batmobile toys : http://www.spencer1984.com/index.php Unfortunately, nothing I could find concerning what could have been the chassis or engine make of the 1989 Batmobile. |

The batmobile is an electronic wizard that is filled with gadgets, electronics, computers and calculators. It is voice-controlled with an interior that features contoured seats, aircraft instrumentation and a weapon system that includes two Browning submachine guns. A Jet turbine engine delivers 1,5000 lbs. of thrust which powers this sesational creation from 0 to 60 MPH in less than 3.7 seconds. |

From the batmobilehistory page linked above: Anton Furst was hired as production designer for Gotham City and the Batmobile spliced together two Impala chassis, and the car was powered by a Chevy V8. |

GM used this car in their TV ads in Canada back in the early nineties (and identified it as a GM product!). |

..It may have GM parts in it..but how can they call it a GM car.? (..also another for the made for movie section.!) |

Lots of cars are made for movie then (James Bond cars are not the same than everbody's car, if we can call an Aston Martin an "everybody's car" they are nearly completely rebuilt). Same for customized cars of various movies. It is obvious that the Batmobile is made for movie, I do not see why it should be labelled as that since in this case there is a make to put on it. -- Last edit: 2006-02-21 09:53:43 |

The Bond cars...still have their Normal shape/design (..they have many gadgets..but still appear as easily recognisable/regular production cars ...unlike any batmobile.!) From all the other comments above..you can see it was made of odd bits of corvette,caprice,riviera ...& bits from a scrapyard..in England.! ..How is this a GM product.? (Any mention of GM involvement in it's production.? ..I've not seen any.! ...they may claim it's theirs ...after the movie was made(..and was doing well in the box-office.!) and use it in a commercial ..But is their any proof they had anything to do with it's contruct.?) With the Original 1966 Batmobile ..it was made by Barris Custom (Barris has this on his site..as one of his vehicles) ...but as Junkman had pointed out... not actually made by Barris..but by outside contract/mechanic/workshop. -- Last edit: 2006-02-21 11:48:24 |

I'm with Stronghold on this, this isn't a GM product, it just happens to have a GM chassis. As for antp's comment with the Aston Martins, the DB5 in Goldfinger was a normal model with gadgets to added it by the filmmakers, the Vanquishes in Die Another Day started off as proper Aston Martins, they were just customised with different engines and 4-wheel-drive put in. |
