An industrious Swede spent 20,000 hours putting together this full-sized Batmobile replica. Built on a 1973 Lincoln Continental chassis, it's loaded with gadgetry, including machine guns, video cameras to see behind you, height-adjustable bodywork, and there's even a plasma TV stuffed in there somewhere.

Want one? If you crave this piece of bat-tech today, you'll have to build it yourself, and you'll need to be rich as Bruce Wayne. The 700-horsepower techno-sportster is a one-of-a-kind creation, three-and-a-half years in the making. Oh yeah, and it cost over $1 million to construct. Let's watch a video of this badass machine, looking fast even when standing still.
