During the filming of 'Batman Begins' the movie makers used 8 different Batmobile's, four of which were drivable and surprisingly rapid. The Batmobiles were powered using 340 horsepower GM 350 V8's giving them a 0-60 time of around 5.3 seconds and a theoretical top speed of 220 miles per hour. The design is based on a cross between a Lamborghini Countach and a Humvee. The designer actually bought an airfix model of both the Countach and Humvee and played around with the models until the desired look was achived.
