Casey Putsch knows a thing or two about cars. His company, Putsch Racing designs, restores and appraises them daily. So if anyone could make an actual turbine-powered Batmobile, it would be him.

Indeed, Putsch went all out on his Burton-era Batmobile, outfitting it with a 385-horespower Boeing turboshaft engine lifted from a naval drone helicopter that can run on jet fuel, kerosene or diesel. Despite being 20 feet long and 7.5 feet wide, the Batmobile is completely street legal.

He also made the sound system iPod-compatible and added an iPad to his dash to function as an avionics system and GPS navigator.

"Atomic batteries to power. Turbines to speed."

"Roger. Ready to move out!"

Friend bought one of the "Crimefighter" kits cars (1966 Batmobile) a couple of years back. He's using a Lincoln chassis. The body is assembled and almost ready to paint. He even got the original style Radir wheels for it. I'm hoping he gets off his ass and gets it finished one of these years!
