So, what do you think?
Does it come in black?
The purpose of redesigning the Batmobile, which we call the Tumbler...
...was to have it have capabilities...
...that we felt a crime-fighter would need to have in the modern day.
NOLAN: The Tumbler, that was the first thing we designed...
...because I felt that if we could show the studio...
...what the Batmobile was in our world...
...they'd get a handle on what everything else would be.
Action.
I felt that we needed a new, contemporary approach...
...in order to believe in the utility of this vehicle.
So what l proposed was a cross between a Lamborghini and Humvee...
...something that would have the presence of almost a tanklike vehicle...
...but also with the speed and grace of a sports car.
Just аs airplаne flаps generаte lift to make а plane go up...
...the Tumbler uses flаps to push the vehiсle down...
...and аchieve greater velocity.
The theory behind it is that it's got these little aerofoils on the outside...
...that all make tiny little wings, instead of having one as big as an aircraft.
The other key aerodynamic element, surprisingly, is the airflow under the car.
And this is actually what racing cars use.
If you can design the air under the car to go significantly faster...
...than the air on the top of the car, you get low pressure under the car...
...and the high pressure on top pushes you down on the ground.
So if you wanna understand how the Tumbler gains stability...
...by having the air blow underneath it, you can just take a piece of paper.
You can generate high pressure on top, and a low pressure underneath...
...by blowing under the paper, and the paper will be forced down.
Speed is one thing...
...but how does something аs large аs the Tumbler...
...mаnаge to maneuver so well?
ST. ANTOlNE: Weight does have a great effect on maneuverability.
You have all this mass you have to move around.
It's transmitted through the wheels and tires to the road.
Really gotta hand it to the designers automotivewise.
It's a feat of engineering.
They seem to have-- Each wheel is kind of balanced out by itself...
...without an axle running across the middle.
Both wheels are totally independent so you-- One wheel can actually stop...
...and the other wheel can rotate till the thing turns right on a dime.
And it can do that at any speed. That's what's so amazing about it.
I've gotta get me one of those.
The Tumbler is designed to get some of its momentum...
...from a jet-powered engine...
...another detail rooted in reality.
Jet-powered сars have been used to set land-speed records.
And they've even mаde brief trips into the сonsumer world.
ST. ANTOlNE: They've tried to use jet engines in cars throughout history.
In 1 963, Chrysler introduced the turbine car.
Fifty models they made had a jet engine in it.
They only gave them to about 200 customers for three months each.
It was a very experimental program.
Most people who drove it loved it.
Unfortunately, the car wasn't great on gas mileage.
It's a very complicated car, and it kind of died a few years later.
Over here on the throttle, flip that open and throttle up.
This will boost you into a rampless jump-- Not now!
On-sсreen, the Tumbler cаn аlso mаke unassisted, or rampless, jumps.
DENNlN: If it comes off perfectly parallel to the ground...
...it's always gonna fall a little bit.
And so if it's jumping to something that's a little bit lower, it's okay.
If it wants to jump to something the same height or higher...
...it needs some form of lift, or it needs to come off at a slight angle.
The way you could do this is imagine a bit of a wheelie as you take off.
You don't actually need a ramp to get a little bit of vertical velocity...
...especially since you've got the jet engine on the back to give you that extra thrust.
You just get the front end of the car up a little, fire your jet engine...
...and now you're going off at an angle.
CORBOULD: Yeah, we were confident that we could do some pretty amazing jumps.
Have it land and drive off.
You know, not the classic thing where the car jumps, lands, falls apart...
...and then you cut and put another car in and drive away.
You know, we were proud of the fact that we could do all that...
...and still carry on the sequence.
If you had powerful enough hydraulics or electromagnetic shocks up front...
...and then you had a powerful jet engine that aimed down...
...you might be able to get enough of a leaping effect...
...to go 1 0, 20, 30 feet in the air.
DENNlN: The real danger is the landing. He's gonna be landing at a very high speed.
So the front end of the car has to have the stability...
...and the shock system to survive that jump.
And in fact, if you look closely, the Batmobile does some interesting things.
The front wheels extend, there's extra shock absorbers there...
...and when it hits the ground, it slows down over that longer distance...
...that enables it to survive the impact.
