Batmobile Powered By Jet Turbine World's First & Only Built By Casey Putsch

Still remember the former Bruce Wayne, aka Batman's very cool and unique looking combat automobile driven in movie series as early as 1989 to "Batman Forever"! There have been plenty of replications and attempts rebuilt into similar style of Batmobile. Indeed, there were quite a few successful attempts of Batmobile replicas that were able to run on gas powered engine that are already wow the world with their amazing similarity! However, none has yet been created that is close to the original which was built with jet turbine powered engine!

 

Well, Putsch Racing or more specifically, the builder of Batmobile, racing driver/artist Casey Putsch built the world's first and only jet turbine powered Batmobile that is actually road legal! After witnessed couple raw footage of it in action and sound came from it, we are very impressed with his creation that has been dreaming by so many Batman fans! The only downside about driving this around, it is quite noisy and it takes awhile to warm up the engine which are typical to airplane turbine engine. We also appreciate Casey for driving it around with such beautiful art piece!

This is the only Batmobile created that makes fiction reality. It is powered by a military spec Boeing turboshaft engine driving the rear wheels through a semi automatic gearbox. It features a custom tube frame/monocoque chassis with fully independant suspension, disc brakes, and a sequential shifter. It runs on kerosene, diesel, or Jet fuel and has a power to weight ratio comparable to a Dodge Viper. The car is registered and insured for the road in the United States. Built in 2011 by Casey Putsch of Putsch Racing.com
