As cool as the Tumbler was in the Dark Knight, it wasn’t the most eco friendly of rides out there. Aside from the massive jet booster out back, those massive Caterpillar tires out back couldn’t have helped fuel consumption. With his old ride in bits after going 10 rounds with the Joker, it looks like [...]
Just when you thought the buzz from the Dark Knight was dying down, here comes this little jewel. Prop man Bob Dullam built this life-sized replica of the latest incarnation of the Batmobile in his garage. Dullam put the ride together without any schematics, opting for the pics of the Tumbler he could scrounge off [...]
Just down the street from Autofiends HQ actually, parked in front of the awesome Arclight Cinemas. These pics were snapped by none other than our very own tech guy, Bernie.

Last week we mentioned that the Tumbler was going “racing” at Silverstone as part of a PR blitz for the new Dark Knight flick. As you can see, it did. Pretty cool, pretty damn cool.
It appears that we are now on a quest to find the rides for the cast of the latest Batman movie. Of course Batman himself is taken care of with Jonny’s latest crush, and we think this Bentley will work well for Alfred. But now we’ve found the perfect bike for Batgirl when they make [...]
While Jonny got all gushy over Batman’s daily driver, I’m more excited about this Black Edition Bentley Continental GTS from UK design house, Project Kahn. And she definitely answers the question, “What would Alfred drive?” With a 20mm drop from PK’s Electronic Lowering module—cutting the springs just wouldn’t do on a Bentley–to further compliment the [...]
