The Batmobile Goes Up Against The Toyota F1

Unless they possessed the gift of flight, most of our childhood heroes had a sick set of wheels. The A-Team had their GMC Vandura van, the Ghostbusters had the Ecto-1, Michael Knight had KITT and Batman had the Batmobile.

Although most of those cars were nothing more than civilian cruisers with a heavy helping of fiberglass and stickers, we all thought, at one point or another, that it’d be dope to see ‘em burn rubber in person. Toyota’s Racing squad and Warner Bros. had the same idea when they brought the Tumbler to Silverstone raceway in Northamptonshire, England last week for a few laps against its F1 racecar. There might not have been any fire coming from the tailpipe, but it was cool to see the Batmobile driving around someplace other than Gotham City. After the jump check out some footage of the Tumbler at Silverstone.
