A superfan has built a working Batmobile and has turned down offers of nearly $1m dollars for it - to instead make dreams come true for terminally ill children. Zac Mihajlovic, from Australia, put the vehicle together in his back yard over two years by modelling it on the famous car from the 1989 Batman movie. There are only between 10 and 12 similar replicas on the planet. However, with a full registration plate, this is the only one eligible to be driven. To date, Mr Mihajlovic have completed more than 40 Make-A-Wishes as kids clamour to jump on board Bruce Wayne's car. Mr Mihajlovic, 29, said: "I've always been a movie fan. Batman has the coolest vehicle and he's the only one without super powers." In 2009, the megafan purchased spare parts from the actual Batmobile that was used in the 1989 blockbuster. After holding onto the items for a year, he then contacted Warner Brothers Australia to see if they were licensing issues for building the model. When he got the all clear, he started working alongside his grandfather, Scott Cox, who is a retired mechanical engineer. Around 30% of the items used are actual parts from the movie. It was finally completed in 2011 but remained in the garage until the twosome decided what they could do with it. Eventually, Mr Mihajlovic applied for the replica to be passed as road-worthy and in December 2013 it was finally registered. The vehicle is now regularly used for professional and charity purposes. Since being completed, the vehicle has also turned the heads of potential buyers who are eager to call it their own. "I've been offered close to a million dollars for it from a few people, a businessman in Sydney made an offer and someone on behalf of a sheik in Dubai made an offer as soon as it was registered. "I would say that they were fair offers but I had had zero enjoyment with it at that time so I was not considering selling it and it now provides me an income." The 6.2 metre model does not feature machine guns and oil slickers like the one in the movies, but it does have a functioning front turbine and afterburner. This year marks the 25th anniversary since the car's debut in the Tim Burton hit. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/super-fan-builds-incredible-batmobile-3674303#ixzz385awPUjQ Follow us: @DailyMirror on Twitter | DailyMirror on Facebook
Mi batmobil favorito, lleva el motor GM LS1? Yo si me creo lo del millón, si es el único en el mundo que puede circular por carretera abierta, lleva piezas originales del modelo de 1989 y tiene el beneplácito de WB...
Fricada fea y lo que querais, pero el chaval y su padre se han currado una replica cojonuda con turbina y postquemador incluido, eso tiene su merito, no se hace en cuatro tardes. Lo del millon de pavos me lo creo perfectamente, tambien hay frikis con mucho dinero que no saben en que gastarlo.
Cada país tiene su propia normativa de homologación de coches para circular por la calle. Por ejemplo, ningún coche de los que aparecen en el programa Fast & Loud podría circular en España.
Me gustaría verlo en circulación...comportamiento, frenada en apoyo, prueba del alce,.....la turbina se "traga" los canguros?....
Pues a mi me flipa... Prefiero mil veces uno de estos a los Truíngs de colores que se ven por España...
