2 Awesome Facts You Didn’t Know About The Batmobile
- It Had Real Parachutes
One of the storyline traits of the Batmobile is that the car goes fast; very fast, in fact, sometimes even over 300 mph depending on the comic book or movie. Such a vehicle would naturally need working parachutes to safely slow it down before Batman exited the car. The parachutes in the Batmobile that was created by George Barris were real parachutes similar to those that one would see used in drag racing. Those parachutes worked, and they once landed Barris in some trouble when he decided to test them out while taking the Batmobile for a spin on the open road.
- The George Barris Ticket Controversy
Back in December 2012, AutoWeek.com posted a story about the Batmobile created by George Barris. Barris allegedly told two different tales about driving the Batmobile on the highway. In one version of Barris’ story, he was pulled over by highway patrol after he popped the Batmobile’s parachutes. The cops let Barris go without a ticket, and everybody had a laugh about the matter. Not so fast, though, as there is another version of the story that ends with Barris being given a ticket for using the parachutes on the highway. With Mr. Barris no longer with us, you will have to decide what to believe.
