About the Batmobile and Batmobile Sweden
The Batmobile
The Batmobile is the iconic automobile of Batman. It was first seen in action in Detective Comics #27 and it was a sedan, with no real name yet. As issues rolled on, the car began to show more prominent bat features like wing-shaped tailfins. It is always kept hidden in the Batcave, and in the years has become one bad ass street fighting vehicle heavily laden with armory and advanced technological weaponry.
Some of the vehicles gadgets include lasers, rockets, a computer, Bat-ray, Voice Control Batmobile Relay Unti, Batphone, and Mobile tracking scope among many other things. Through the years, the Batmobile has undergone many transformations. It is also depicted very differently in several Batman live action movies.
The Website
The Batmobile has become so well known that it has been replicated as real live cars. One of the most famous replicas comes from Leif Garvin. It took the man more than three years and a million dollars to convert his old Lincoln Continental into the legendary Bamobile. Now, he has built a website mainly showcasing updates to the makings of another replica of Bamobile for the upcoming ELMIA Motor Show. The project is called Phase II.

He became so well known for his work that it resulted to the upcoming Batmobile Tour that Leif describes as “the journey of his life.”
The Batmobile will be taken to the United States and be showcased on several tours which will be featured in a television show!
