Gordon Murray’s new BatMobile is very “green” and “light”

Gordon Murray’s new BatMobile is very “green” and “light”

So, the next Christopher Nolan’s batman movie is just around the corner, and Gordon Murray too has whipped out his “new” version of the BatMobile just in time for some hybrid/electric vehicle season.

The designer drew on his experience with the McLaren F1 for his new concept car, which includes a healthy dose of imagineering: there’s a carbon-fiber body that “breathes,” as well as LED-lit “virtual wheels.” We’re not sure how carbon fiber breathes or what virtual wheels are, but as Murray explain in the video below, they’re based on Formula One materials as he imagines those 15-20 years from now.

He also envisions a greener Dark Knight, whose ride runs on hydrogen fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries — no longer will the caped crusader suffer a guilty conscience due to his excessive carbon dioxide emissions.
