Love the shots of the Batmobile cruising down the highway. 8-)

Given that turbines are only fuel efficient when uses at full power for most of the time, I'll bet that thing as a huge fuel bill. It's not as if he'll be cruising down the motorway for hours on end in a car like that.

I bet it's seriously slow off the mark and a bitch to park.

I've always thought the best use of a turbine in a road vehicle is with an electric transmission to allow optimal revs at all time, and high torque at low speeds.

Also to charge batteries for that silent mode that bat man needs occasionally.
