Its hard to believe that a 2 ton thing can do 0-60 in 5 sec. with only 340 HP.

Its all how you gear it. Probably only does 60MPH max

ya but 2 tons at 60 mph is a force to be reckoned with. in my entire life i have never seen anything like this car. my first impression was that it was a cross between a lamborghini and a hummer lol.

[MasterC117]

sorry for the double post but it looks like the impression i had like 2 months ago was right on the money.

"Working with director Christopher Nolan, production designer Nathan Crowley conceived the car's shape by combining scale models of Humvees and Lamborghinis."

They did an article in "The Sun" ... here in Toronto, and it had the horsepower @ 500hp.

Quite a big difference between the 340 and 500...

[MasterC117]

just found the top speed. its about 110 mph. heres the link

Well, I assumed it was LS1 powered since they said 340HP, but I suppose it could just be a modified Gen 1 smallblock. I thought 340 horses was a bit low too, but who knows...

BTW, cool link. I saw a couple Batmobile designes that might have been inspired be a 70's Camaro and 98+ T/A WS6! Cool....
