FastBoomPro’s B v S Batmobile Replica Sells for $850K, Gets Captured on Video in Moscow
DECEMBER 20, 2019
"FastBoomPro’s engineers spent months hand-crafting a replica of the Batmobile from 2016’s Batman v Superman movie. They fully customized a body kit sourced from the US, laid it atop a real vehicle, and then equipped it with a monstrous 502-hp V8 engine. Since all of the chase scenes in the actual film were filmed while driving at a mere 12.4mph, they had to make various technical modifications, like re-welding the chassis and installing new axles, so the replica wouldn’t fall apart on the move. Read more for a video that was shot in Moscow of its new owner(s) driving the vehicle.
That’s not all, this Batmobile even comes with a functional 250x-zoom thermal imager for night drives and sources a joystick from a real F-18 fighter jet to control the hood-mounted laser gun. Unfortunately, the latter is just for shooting things in augmented reality, which is then shown on the interior display. FastBoomPro originally wanted $900,000, but it recently sold for $850,000.oo.
We [tried] several unsuccessful experiments that shattered the car. Then we found some smart engineers who made a multi-metal alloy able to withstand 1.5 tons of steel and an engine inertia of 500 horsepower,” said FastBoomPro founder Alisher."

What body kit are they talking about?
Who did they source it from in the US?

Is this the same car the Russians confiscated?
They fully customized a body kit sourced from the US Very doubtful. More likely one of the Chinese copies they were producing.
a joystick from a real F-18 fighter jet to control the hood-mounted laser gun. In Russia!?, also doubtful. Original is a game controller joystick anyway, as is the steering wheel. (as you well know. Your replica steering wheel beats the one pictured 1000x).
Notice the lack of rear wheel covers? I wonder why that is?

Found a little more written about the FastBoomPro B v S batmobile and a few more photo-images.
The Russians talk about building the car and making a 10-minute video.
The below information was found translated from Russian.
"Russian engineers at the company FastBoomPro have created a replica of the Batmobile from 2016’s Batman v Superman. Taking a bodykit, they stuffed it with real automobile innards that matched the vehicle’s impressive exterior.
FastBoomPro
“I saw it in the movie, and just had to recreate it. It had to ‘shoot,’ ‘fly,’ and ‘roar’ like a real superhero ride,” FastBoomPro founder Alisher told Russia Beyond (declining to give his surname).
Alisher says that he bought the bodykit in the US. Initially it was a chassis with an engine that couldn’t go more than 30 km, since it could only move in first gear.
FastBoomPro
“All the chase scenes in the movie are shot at a speed of 20 km/h, and then special effects are added in the studio. We had to do a lot of things [to turn the bodykit into a real car]. We inserted a 502-hp V8 engine and made a number of technical modifications so that it wouldn’t fall apart on the move,” said the FastBoomPro founder.
To start with, the company’s engineers rewelded the chassis and installed new axles made of different metal alloys so that the Batmobile wheels remained on the road and didn’t fly up at the slightest bump.
“We carried out several unsuccessful experiments that shattered the car. Then we found some smart engineers who made a multi-metal alloy able to withstand 1.5 tons of steel and an engine inertia of 500 horsepower,” explained Alisher.

As a result, the Batmobile’s top speed hit 100 km/hour. According to Alisher, “it’s possible to squeeze even more out of the engine, but it’s scary.”
“There’s no aerodynamics. The car shakes like hell. Despite the new axles, the wheels still jump up when going over bumps. The Batmobile is a toy, not a racing car. So we’re not about to set any road records,” said its creator.
Does it come in black?
Despite the fact that the car, like Batman, doesn’t officially exist (FastBoomPro has not registered it with Russia’s traffic police), its creators have done several test drives on the streets of Moscow and St Petersburg, and are planning to shoot a full-blown video of it cruising around the city.
Alisher says that driving in Moscow is a pain — the field of vision is minimal, and turning corners and parking are almost impossible (the Batmobile is 4x6 meters in size and occupies almost two lanes).
FastBoomPro
“We normally ride it outside the city. Out in the ‘field’ and on the minor roads you can drive anything,” explains Alisher.
FastBoomPro is currently looking for a buyer for its brainchild. The starting price is a cool 55 million rubles (about $900,000).

Here are some photo-images off the auto.ru website that offered the FastBoomPro B v D batmobile for sale.
Like sly said there is no mention as to why this batmobile does not have rear wheel coverings.

It's not a horrible replica. Wouldn't mind having it, but there is still a lot of details to be added. Can't justify that price though. More realistic price would be a fraction of that imo.

Quite revealing. Hopefully donor vehicle method contributes more stability.
I already strongly suspected the upper wings would contribute significant vibration as they are configured without modification.

Batman de Monterrey or Batman Regio with B v S DOJ replica in Mexico.
I guess this is the compact model.
