Have Batmobile, Will Travel 24 Hours Straight


The purpose of the car might be to promote fuel efficiency, but you can be forgiven for having other thoughts, such as, "Does Christopher Nolan know about this?"

We're talking about the DeltaWing, an experimental car from Nissan that looks suspiciously like something about a Batman picture. The word from Nissan was that they were just improving efficiencies, etc., but we all know the truth, don't we? Why would you model your car so much on the Caped Crusader's favorite vehicle ("Chicks dig the car" if you weren't affiliated with a vaguely legalistic crime-fighting syndicate

Nissan says that the 4-cylinder, 1.6-liter engine-powered car will take part in the Le Mans 24 Hour event and use half the gasoline of the other cars doing the event. Sure. We know that the real purpose of the DeltaWing in that scenario is to unmask the Joker, who is rumored to be driving a car from Italy.

Nissan says that behind the DeltaWing wheel will be Marino Franchitti from Britain and Michael Krumm from Germany. Right. We know who will really be behind the wheel cranking out the 300 bhp for more than 3,000 miles.
