The Tumbler or a more familiar name Batmobile has always been a topic of discussion for car enthusiasts and online bloggers around the world, particularly when a new movie is released under the Batman film franchise.
Over the years the batmobile has created a name for itself with its specific designs and technical specifications, it has even evolved over the years from the ‘Batman Forever’ batmobile in 1995 to the Dark Knight’s batmobile (The tumbler — tank like vehicle).
According to www.buzzfeed.com the 1989 Tim Burton’s Batmobile was a game-changing automobile too mainly looking at design, style, cool factor, and technology. It was supremely popular during its time and still is one of the most recognisable Batmobiles ever designed.
Director of the Dark Knight’s Trilogy, Christopher Nolan’s tumbler according to buzzfeed completely changed the game with his Bat Tumbler.
It brought a modern touch to the fantasy car and was based off of a military-grade vehicle, perfect for Batman to roll around Gotham in.
It was intimidating and handled the degenerates of Gotham perfectly.
Apart from the tumbler Christopher Nolan selected to feature for the trilogy, there were also other interesting vehicles that featured, especially in “Batman: The Dark Knight Rises”.
Here we list some of vehicle that we think should get a bit of recognition too from the movie.
The Bentley Arnage R (Driven by Michael Caine)
According to www.autoevolution.com , Bentley launched its second generation Arnage R model in 2005, aiming to reinforce its credentials on the high-luxury saloon sector.
The new model was now based on a revised chassis and fitted with a newly-developed suspension. It featured the same 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged engine from the 2002 generation model, while now compliant with the latest Euro IV CO2 emissions. Exterior design featured a new bonnet, radiator shell and grille, redesigned headlamps and a new set of wheels.
The Arnage R was available with a choice of two body configurations – R and RL. Other interesting new features on the second generation Arnage included satellite navigation, new dashboard top, switchgear and better ergonomics.
The 2012 Aventador LP700-4
According to www.cars.com the 2012 Aventador LP700-4 is the latest exotic sports car from Italy’s Lamborghini, replacing the Murcielago.
The “Aventador” name comes from a tenacious bull that squared off against bullfighters in the early 1990s. The LP stands for longitudinale posteriore, which describes the longitudinally mounted rear engine (technically mid-engine) in Italian.
The 700 represents the car’s horsepower, and the 4 is for four-wheel drive. The two-seat Aventador has few competitors: The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and Lexus LFA are two, at least in terms of price.
The competition gets thinner in terms of performance, because the Aventador goes zero to 60 mph in less than 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of 217 mph, according to Lamborghini.
The Oshkosh MKR18 LVSR (cargo vehicle).
According to oshkoshdefense.com the unmatched mobility and multiple capabilities of the Oshkosh LVSR cargo vehicle make it critical to mission success. With a 22.5 ton (20412kg) on-road/16.5 ton (14969 kg) off-road payload, it has the capacity to carry whatever the mission requires. And with a 600 horsepower diesel engine, it also has the power.
Engineered with advanced technologies like the TAK-4 independent suspension system and the Command Zone integrated control and diagnostic system, the LVSR cargo vehicle can haul ammunition, flatracks, ISO containers up to 20 feet (6.1km) tactical bridging and support equipment as well as fuel containers. It even loads and unloads flatracks from trailers towed by the LVSR.
