The Lamborghini-powered Batmobile 2.0 hits the road during the 18th annual Gumball 3000 rally.
High-end supercars and modified vehicles are common to the Gumball rally. However, the carbon-fiber made Batman: Arkham Knight's Batmobile is one of the most-popular cars and it has caught the eyes of many enthusiasts.
The customized Batmobile is based on a Lamborghini Gallardo supercar chassis and it has been created by Team Galag of Saudi Arabia.
Team Galag wanted to enter the rally with a replica of The Tumbler from the Dark Knight trilogy. However, the team found many quality issues with the car, which made them opt for the Batmobile 2.0 that's inspired by the 2015 Batman: Arkham Knight video game.
The car is not the exact Batmobile that was featured in the video game, but it is a treat to watch the car in action. The it took the development team more than 12 months to make the car. The lead engineer of the car has spent about 15 years at Sweden's Koenigsegg, which explains the great details on the car's carbon-fiber body.
The Batmobile 2.0 has four 26-inch wheels, which have fixed covers that give an impression as if the car is hovering over the road. Under the hood is a 5.2-liter V10 engine.
The car looks great from outside and its interiors are also very comfortable. The seats covered in black leather and its gold stitching adds a premium feel. The seats, flooring and pedals light up when the cockpit of the Batmobile 2.0 is opened.
The Batmobile 2.0 has a number of cameras fitted on the exterior body. Drivers have access to several screens inside the car that displays the surroundings for better and easy navigation.
The 2016 Gumball 3000 rally in Dublin started on May 1 and is currently in in full swing. The rally will cover 3,000 miles on route to its final destination in Bucharest on May 6. The rally will visit a number of cities such as Edinburgh, London, Prague and more.
