Unique Batmobile with Turbine Engine.
Finally, Casey Putsch’s dream of having a personal Batmobile has been materialized. Casey Putsch is one of those geeks, who wanted to possess a unique Batmobile. Till now, the Batmobiles have been built with a ‘rescued from the junkyard’ engine but this one is different from them being the only turbine-powered Batmobile in the world.
The Turbine-powered Batmobile
The unique Batmobile is equipped with a Boeing turbo shaft engine taken off from a naval drone helicopter, which produces 385 horses and weighs as less as 2800 pounds (1270kgs). The 4-speed semi –automatic car is shaped on a steel tube monocoque chassis. It has been registered and so is completely safe for the road in the United States.
“I have learned a great deal about engineering and gained a wide array of skills from personally preparing and restoring race cars from the last 80 years of automotive history. With my interest in history, I have learned a great deal about man’s technological achievements in everything from racing to manufacturing and from space exploration to war. This background and that childhood excitement for a fictitious character is what gave me the unique ability to create the world’s only turbine powered Batmobile,” said Putsch.

The car can abode two people having a modest trunk at the rear. This Batmobile is unique in having a different engines, however when it comes to functionality it is same as any production car.
The car has been designed with a racing motive, besides being fully functional daily use vehicle. Moreover, the vehicle requires much less maintenance compared to a normal production car, the reason being that turbine engines have fewer moving parts and are designed to tolerate extreme weather conditions.
