So here’s the deal. Somebody in Stockholm, Sweden has spent over $1 million USD and 3.5 years of his life (roughly 20,000 hours) to rebuild the classic Batmobile vehicle seen in Tim Burton’s 1989 version of Batman. [via]

The pictures speak louder than the words here, so check them out in the gallery below and be sure to watch the video too.

Kruse International is auctioning off an exact replica of the 1989 Batmobile in Las Vegas from March 20-21. [via]

Unlike some replicas, this Batmobile replica is as good on the inside as it is on the outside. Everything here is made to the exact specifications of the same Batmobile used in the 1989 Batman film. There is a working flame-throwing after burner, a working sliding canopy, tons of insane knobs and dials on the dashboard, actual 50-caliber machine guns, and even the same set of tires used in the movie.

If you missed the last auction for a Batmobile then here’s your chance to make up for it!
