Chevy reveals Lego Batmobile at Detroit auto show
The Lego Batman Movie is just weeks away, and to add hype to what already looks like an epic movie, a life-sized Lego Batmobile has been unveiled.
Chevrolet revealed the creation on Saturday at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
At roughly 17 feet long, the Lego model was created by students from the Detroit community in conjunction with student outreach organizations A World in Motion and First Lego League.
Chevrolet even created an entire website devoted to an imagined life-sized Lego Batmobile that includes all the specs you'd find on a real car.
The fictitious Lego Batmobile details list the car as using rocket fuel, having the ability to tow up to 120,000 pounds, and including Wi-Fi connectivity, driver-centric bulletproof glass and high-tensile, projectile-proof armored side panels.
The detailed breakdown even shows an image demonstrating Apple CarPlay functionality.
All that crime-fighting power is priced at just $48 million and includes the promotional reminder, "Fit for a loner vigilante and average citizen alike, from its stud shooters to its standard roof 'ejection' function, the Lego Batmobile has something to handle any situation."
Sure, it will never actually go on sale (according to Chevy), but as a lead-in to the upcoming film, it's a great "what-if" look at what might actually be a pretty cool car for Lego fanatics.
The only place we'll actually see it in action is in The Lego Batman Movie, which hits theaters on Feb. 10.
