Coming to you from Riverside, California, by way of Gotham City, this screen-accurate Batmobile is based on the same model seen in 1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns and built on the chassis of a stretched 1994 Chevy Caprice Police Cruiser. Powered by the same 5.7-liter V8 featured in the Corvette, the Batmobile has been fitted with push button start, deployable prop guns, two side cameras and one rear view camera, a kicking sound system, and an afterburner that shoots six-foot flames out of the rear. Michael Keaton not included.

And what could possibly be more American than owning a damn Batmobile?
