Hand up who wants to be Batman!


Batman fans with more money than brains might find it hard to resist this six-figure replica of the Batpod from The Dark Knight.

Described as a "full scale 1:1 working replica of the famous 'Batpod,'" this steel and fiberglass rig is powered by a nitrous-injected, 650cc engine and wears 508mm tires, grappling hooks, and all manner of faux weaponry including grenade launchers and .50 caliber machine guns. And in case you're on the fence, potential buyers should note that the fake Batpod is modeled on eBay by a couple of bikini-clad, high heel-wearing babes; truly, a sign of integrity in salesmanship.

The eBay listing mentions that though it's not street legal, this contraption has been ridden "in a controlled environment," and that one drive chain will be removed before it's sold, making it unrideable.

Tempted, but low on funds? Have no fear! In the extremely likely event that this fake Batpod doesn't sell for $100k on eBay, it will be up for grabs at a Barrett-Jackson auction in July; start scraping your pennies together!
