Chevrolet is one of the most iconic car brands to ever grace
the market. Chevrolet has consistently
made top quality, tough, and high-performance vehicles for over 100 years. So it comes with no surprise when one of the
world’s greatest superheroes needs a vehicle, he trusts no one besides Chevy to
help in the fight against crime.
The most recent Batman film featured a new Batmobile, very
different from the modified Impala featured in the Michael Keaton films. Batman upgraded to a full-blown tank style
vehicle. Upgrading from a normal
modified vehicle to military technology surely means he left his Chevrolet
roots right? Wrong.
The new Batmobile, known as the Tumbler, features a Chevrolet V8 Small Block engine. Rather than use computer generated imagery, the filmmakers opted to completely build 4 different Tumbler vehicles to use in the films. Even with massive 37 inch off-road tires in the rear and a total weight of about 2.5 tons, this monster of a vehicle reaches 60 mph in less than 5 seconds thanks to the 5.7 liter Chevy V8 churning out over 400 horsepower.

Next time you watch The Dark Knight you’ll know that 100% of
all those incredible stunts are real and not CG, thanks to the high build
quality of Chevrolet. And if you’re
looking for a great deal on a vehicle that’s good enough for everyone’s
