Lego's full-sized Batmobile is one of the coolest cars at the Detroit Auto Show

Posted on at


Few things in this world stand the test of time like Lego. Likewise, few icons of popular culture have been as pervasive and as memorable as the Batmobile. From the campy realism of the 1960s to the modern and militaristic tank of the recent films, Batman's rolling monument to fighting crime has taken on many shapes over the years. In the lead up to the release of The Lego Batman Movie, Chevrolet along with students from Detroit's Cody Rouge community, A World in Motion, and First Lego League have build a lifesize Lego Batmobile.

In short, this thing is rad. It's always amazing when a group creates a 1:1 scale version of a car out of Lego, but the Batmobile is definitely one of the best. This iteration of the Batmobile is definitely more fanciful and crazy than the more recent film versions. Giant wings, giant wheels and a giant bat hood ornament adorn this car. In typical fashion, the car is equipped with all manner of crime-fighting gadgetry
