This replica of the Tumbler vehicle featured in various Batman films of the 2000s was built in Vietnam and is powered by a 72-volt electric motor linked to a 5-kWh lithium-ion battery. Stainless-steel and acrylic bodywork is mounted to a custom-fabricated steel chassis, and highlights include upward-opening doors, a jet engine-style rear cover, and faux panel struts. The vehicle rides on independent front swingarms and a dually rear axle with coilovers and drum brakes, and the inboard-mounted front wheels are steered by separate pitman arms. The cabin is outfitted with a steering yoke, multiple exterior cameras, bucket seats, Takata harnesses, LED lighting, and decorative switchgear. Work performed since the selling dealer’s acquisition in 2023 has included replacing the power converter and interior display monitors. This Tumbler replica is now offered in Canada at no reserve with a bill of sale.
The Tumbler debuted in the 2005 film Batman Begins and was designed by director Christopher Nolan and production designer Nathan Crowley. Inspired by the aesthetic of Blade Runner, the vehicle featured such key design elements as faceted armor, hydraulically articulated flaps, and a rear-mounted jet engine.
The body of this replica is said to be constructed from stainless steel, and it is finished in matte black with gold accents. Acrylic windows and decorative panels are covered with reflective tint film, and other features include upward-opening doors, a jet engine-style rear cover, sawtooth detailing, and numerous faux struts. Wrinkles in the tint film can be viewed in the gallery below along with irregularities in the finish.
The vehicle rides on a custom-fabricated steel chassis with inward-oriented front spindles mounted at the ends of independent box-tube swingarms. The steering rack is connected to a pitman arm and tie rod on each side, and the 12” steel front wheels are fitted with 26.5×14” agricultural tires.
The dually rear axle is supported by a four-link setup with coilovers, and the 17” wheels are wrapped in 35×12.5” Kenda Klever R/T units. Braking is handled by unassisted hydraulic drums that act only on the rear wheels.
The cabin houses black bucket seats with Takata harnesses, and the dashboard and center console are covered in black vinyl. Decorative switches and knobs have been installed along with red LED lighting and a Bluetooth-capable sound system. Four monitors are connected to cameras that show views to the front, back, and either side. The screens and wiring were replaced at ECC Tuning in Toronto under current ownership. Wear on the interior surfaces can be viewed in the gallery.
The steering yoke has forged carbon-fiber and gold accents, and the buttons and dials are not functional. A digital speedometer provides inaccurate readings, and a working voltmeter is joined by inoperative auxiliary gauges. The vehicle does not have an odometer.
A 5-kWh lithium-ion battery powers a 72-volt electric motor that drives the rear wheels, and a 3,000-Ah lithium-ion battery powers the 12-volt accessories. The vehicle’s top speed is estimated at 100 km/h (~62 mph). The charge port is mounted by the rear suspension loop. The functional driver-side port is balanced with a faux port cover. The power converter was replaced under current ownership.
The vehicle lacks a standard 17-digit VIN, is not legal for road use, and carries no title or registration. It is being sold on a bill of sale.
