Built to be fully functional, the Tumbler is faithful to the original movie design, right down to the dashboard configuration. However, it isn’t street legal, so collectors will have to keep this 5,000-pound model on display.
Only ten will be made, and prospective buyers must apply to receive an invitation. After putting down a deposit, buyers will wait an estimated 15 months for their Batmobile replica to arrive.
