Flatmobile: The Flattest Vehicle In Gotham
This original Batmobile-inspired vehicle has been dubbed the Flatmobile. It stands a whopping 19" tall and is allegedly the world's flattest car that isn't a go-kart.
The Flatmobile is powered by a jet engine (based on a gas turbine jet engine and a Holset 685 turbocharger from a Volvo FL10 truck) which, thanks to having its own custom afterburner, is capable of delivering 90lbs of thrust powering the Flatmobile to speeds in excess of 100mph.
Awesome, can you imagine going 100mph and then getting run over by a tractor trailer driver who can't see you? That would be freaking sweet. However, I have a bone to pick with the claim that this is the flattest ride on the streets. Because it's not. That honor goes to a hooker I saw in D.C. over the weekend. Man, she had no boobs. Flat as an ironing board. Just the way I like 'em, isn't that right honey?
Several more pictures and a video after the jump.

Sculptor Bob Causey went and built himself a replica of the Batmobile from Batman Forever. That's all the information I have except it drives and has a complete interior. Also, Batman Forever came out in 1995. So remember kids: never give up on your dreams, it's better 14 ye... / Continue →

This is a video of the Batpod inspired motorcycle some engineering genius managed to piece together in Vietnam. It's pretty damn impressive considering it looks like it was built entirely out of parts that had fallen off other cars. Granted it's not something I'd risk MY life... / Continue →
