Batmobile Replica Gets as Real as Physics Allows

A crowd gathered as Casey Putsch released the pneumatic hatch on the coolest car any of them had ever seen. He handed his license and registration to the police officer, as if being pulled over in a homemade Batmobile were no big deal. Word must have gotten out on the police radio because soon bike cops were pedaling up to see the thing.

The 29-year-old racecar driver and builder was cruising downtown Columbus, Ohio recently in the 365-horsepower, turbine-powered machine he’d built himself. The car was completely legal except for one thing: No front license plate.

Oops.

Kids and octogenarians fumbled with their phones to get a shot of the car as the officer let Putsch off with a warning. Putsch, dressed to the nines like Bruce Wayne, and with a model friend riding shotgun, flipped the switches to fire up the turbine engine and pulled away.

Fans have been building replicas of the Batmobile since Adam West wore his satin cape and high-waisted utility belt, but Putsch’s is among the most faithful renditions we’ve seen. He drew inspiration from the Dark Knight’s ride in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman. It’s as close to the real deal as physics permits, right down to the front-mounted turbine engine.

“The Batmobile is the sweetest car ever thought of in fiction,” Putsch told us.

Putsch runs Putsch Racing in Dublin, Ohio, so he knows cars. He built the car in a mere five months to show what he can do.

His flash of inspiration and motivation led him to learn everything he could about turbines. He found a broker who set him up with a Boeing engine pulled from a Navy helicopter. He mounted it on a custom monocoque chassis.

Rather than using the engine for straight propulsion like a fighter jet, Putsch’s Batmobile creates thrust with a separate front turbine, the force of which spins a second turbine that’s connected to the drivetrain. Planetary gears slow the turbines’ 40,000 rpm to a more manageable 7,000 rpm driveshaft redline. Shifting is done with a modified automatic four-speed sequential gearbox. The Batmobile even has reverse.

The fiberglass and aluminum body, along with the turbines and drive system, weighs just 2,800 pounds, giving the car an impressive power-to-weight ratio. Putsch says the performance is on par with the Dodge Viper GTS he uses when he isn’t pretending he’s the Dark Knight. Unlike the Viper, however, the Batmobile can run on kerosene, diesel or jet fuel. He uses jet fuel most often, and gets between 4 and 8 mpg.

Putsch’s only deliberate derivation from the source material is the installation of an iPad 2 in the center console. He uses custom-made apps that rely on the tablet’s kinetic sensors for diagnostics like g-force measurements — strictly for testing purposes, of course, after he checks his email. And yes, the iPad’s wallpaper is the logo for Wayne Enterprises.

People love it. The car took an “Award of Distinction” along with the “Hagerty Judges Choice” and “People’s Choice” at the Ault Park Concours d’Elegance in Cincinnati last month. Impressive, given it was competing against cars like a 1961 Ferrari 250 GTO and a 1930 Duesenberg J Dual Cowl Phaeton.

No, you can’t have one. Putsch’s Batmobile is a one-of-a-kind, and he has no plans to sell it. He’s using it to show off his skills as a builder, “like a rolling resumé,” he says.

Dazu passend....

Like many of you, the first time I set my eyes on the Tumbler I knew I had to have it. All the speed, the tech gadgets, along with indestructibility of a tank makes it quite possibly THE BEST Batmobile ever.

Meet Bob Dullam. Bob is not your average man from Michigan. Bob is actually a prop artist that has worked on many television shows and movies, but Bob has never done anything like this. For the last 5 years, he has spent his spare time in his garage building the beast that is the Batman Tumbler. Studying The Dark Knight DVD, Bob researched every detail to make his car an almost exact replica of the Tumbler from the movie.

With no knowledge of how to build a car and little under $100,000 dollars, Bob was able to make his very own Batman Tumbler.

Here are the specs for the car:

•Engine: 350 V8 with four-barrel carburetor
•Transmission: 3-speed turbo
•Top speed: 150mph (241km/h)
•Body panels: Epoxy resin reinforced with fiberglass mat
•Tires: 44-inch Super Swampers (rear)
•Steering: Rack and pinion power steering via detachable aviator style pistol-grip steering device
•Weight: Approximately two tons (1.8 metric tons)
•Dimensions: 15’L x 9’W x 5.5’H (4.5 x 8 x 1.7 meters)
•Visibility: Round-vehicle video cameras
•Production cost: Approximately US$50,000 to $100,000
•Street legality: Nope!

The car is nearly complete as Bob now turn his attention to the interior. We look forward to word of its completion and salute Bob and his superior nerdery.

is schon ne spannende technik und langsam bewegt es sich auch in preislich interessantere regionen.

Diese LED-Duschköpfe finde ich irgendwie auch geil - andererseits sind die aber auch Technik-Kitsch allererster Güte .

Abwarten.

Es ist doch eigentlich relativ offensichtlich, dass das ganze ein Hoax ist.

Mein Vater hat so ein Teil in größer schonmal live gesehen.
War auch absolut begeistert.

wow wie funktioniert dieser scanner? das teil kann doch niemals das innere mit den beweglichen teilen scannen. da haben die bestimmt nachbearbeitet am pc.

Jupp, man kann etwas einscanen... wird meist trotzdem nochmal extra am PC weiterbearbeitet (das 3D Model). Der Scaner ist nur zur Unterstützung da, am PC muss man erstmal dann nochmal die "exakte" Größe vorgeben, sonst könnts ja sein dass du ein minatur Schraubenschlüssel herausbekommst, ohne weitere arbeit am PC wird da nicht viel draus.

Also wir haben so einen 3D-Drucker bei uns in der Abteilung und ich hab hier auch ein ausgedrucktes Herz vor mir auf dem Schreibtisch stehen. Allerdings kann man damit nicht so viel Unfug machen, weil es *schweineteuer* ist, etwas zu drucken. So ein Eimerchen Material kostet ca. 1000 € und da sind noch nicht die ganzen anderen Mittelchen dabei, die man noch braucht.
