Batman Tumbler

The Batman Tumbler made its debut in Batman Begins and there was something about the car that everyone fell in love with. The unique, battle tank-inspired design was completely different than the Batmobile models that came before it. The inside of the Tumbler was just as futuristic as the outside with a fully digital dashboard and a unique, fighter jet-like seating position where Batman would lie down to drive. If you thought this was a computer-generated ride, you were wrong indeed (via Car Scoops).

The Batman Tumbler was a physical vehicle that was designed for the movie. A lot of fabrication went into the design of the Tumbler and needless to say, it turned out great. Several Tumblers were built for the films, each with different capabilities. Some were made for speed, others for jumping, and one could even separate into the “Batpod” motorcycle. Despite its bulky appearance, the Tumbler was surprisingly agile. It was powered by a 5.7-liter Chevy V8 engine and could reportedly go from 0 to 60 mph in five seconds.
