Even outside of the LEGOverse, Batman tends to have all of the best toys. However, the LEGO Batmobile from the highly anticipated The LEGO Batman Movie may prove to be the greatest toy of them all. Chevrolet has teamed up with students from Detroitâs Cody Rouge community, A World in Motion, and First LEGO League to recreate the new LEGO Batmobile in real life!
Via ComingSoon, the life-sized LEGO Batmobile was unveiled at the at the North American International Auto Show, and it is a staggering 17-feet long, just under 6.92 feet tall and 9.25 feet wide creation that took 344,187 LEGO bricks to build and over 1,833 hours to complete. The LEGO Batmobile does have an interior frame that is made of square tube aluminum, so it’s not completely LEGO. But it is still very impressive.
Chevy released several photos of the completed LEGO Batmobile, and the attention to detail was also particularly striking.
The wheels alone are reportedly 100 pounds each, and the entire vehicle is said to weigh 1,695.5 pounds.
You can see more of the photos in our gallery below. Within the film itself, LEGO Batman calls this car “The Speedwagon,” and he takes particular pride in its tricked out abilities to take down villains of all sizes. Chevy even parodied itself while teasing LEGO Batman’s pride in the newest commercial in the company’s âReal People, Not Actorsâ ad campaign. And let’s just say that LEGO Batman quickly regretted sitting in on his own focus group.
