if we are going to do the bat man car then this is what he needs to drive.....

No no, I'm with the rally guys, but I am thinking more extreme:

or

If it can make it through the baja 1000 or Dakar, it handle what batman needs.

Its for sale...

I noticed it's in Dublin Ohio. I saw one at the Mid-Ohio (not that far from Dublin) Vintage races a couple years ago. It was in the paddock, owned by someone involved with one of the teams. It had a gas engine in it, but I'm now wondering if this might be the same car.

(And this coming from a guy who's read more than a few Batman books.)

You're applying logic to Batman's vehicle preferences? Seriously?

That said, I always thought the Tumbler was a much more appropriate car for the masked man.

Needs to go here:

Agreed...go anywhere, through anything, without fail. Its pretty much the perfect recipe for a supermobile or a ZAV...
