I could not find Batmobile in the car choices, but here is about this particular one I created for an addon Mod in a well known online multiplayer racing game.
The original Batmobile was based on the 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car, The Lincoln Futura was built in Italy for Ford by a body-building company called Ghia. Total cost for designing and building this one vehicle was a cool quarter of a million dollars.
A $250,000 "car of the future" that made a splash at car shows for a couple of years and appeared on a few TV shows before falling into obscurity. In the fateful fall of 1966, custom car designer George Barris was enlisted to come up with a Batmobile in three weeks.
"The art director brought in an idea of what they needed: flashing lights, turbine fire blower on the back, chain slicer, etc.," said Barris. "We gave them a twentieth-century Batmobile that was different from Bob Kane's [the creator of Batman]."
Barris retrofitted the Lincoln Futura (which he eventually wound up purchasing from Ford Motor Company for one dollar) with a snazzy new paint job, enormous fins, an aircraft steering wheel, and some completely peripheral but very cool looking air vents. A masterpiece was born.
