Batman Tumbler Replica Promises Gumball 3000 Mayhem

?

?

The annual high-speed blingfest known as the Gumball 3000 Rally sees no shortage of ultra exotic hypercars, so it's no wonder we stopped dead in our tracks when we laid eyes on this wild, Batman-inspired contender that happens to be built entirely from scratch.

?

The acutely angular, mammoth-tired rendition of the Tumbler from The Dark Knight Rises was constructed by Florida-based?Parker Brother Concepts, and packs a 6.2 liter V8 producing 400 horsepower, a 2.5 ton curb weight, and a track that's wider than a Hummer H2. It's also claimed to be street legal-- which, if true, would be a stunning accomplishment considering its homegrown roots.

There's no telling how the replicated Batman car will perform when it hits the pan-European rally that usually sees far less creatively outfitted Koenigseggs, Lambos, Ferraris, and all manner of exotic hardware in between, but the team-- a group of 21 to 34 year-olds from America, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and the UK-- certainly deserves props for curating such an outlandishly inspired ride.
