Top 9 Most Insane Vehicles That Are Street Legal
Anyone who loves Batman also loves the Batmobile and some people are so passionate about the Caped Crusader’s car that they try to make one for themselves. Zac Mihajlovic is one of the superhero enthusiasts, and he is very good at it as his Batmobile replica is the only one in the world with full street registration . Awesome!
But the Batmobile is not the only insane vehicles that are street legal, there are at least 9 insane vehicles in total.
9.A Goddamn Batmobile With Working Turbine Engine
This is Zac Mihajlovic ’s cool Batmobile. Though for true authenticity, but also a safety factor- the car does not feature machine guns, grappling hooks, or oil slick dispensers like the true trickster Batmobile, it does have a working front turbine and afterburner.
8.Jet-Powered Beetle
The Jet Beetle is a sensible, unassuming new model Volkswagen Beetle ... that has a giant-ass Navy surplus General Electric T58-8F jet engine (the same type that's used to land the presidential chopper) strapped on.
It's the brainchild of car modifier Ron Patrick, who took consummate care to keep it street legal. The Jet Beetle actually has two engines: a standard-issue gasoline engine in the front, and the jet engine in the back. This means the law can't touch you when you use the ordinary gasoline engine ... and when you decide to use the other one, let's see them catch you.
7.ParaJet SkyCar
While it's street legal, there's very few places it can't go. It's equally at home off-roading as it is on the streets ... but it doesn't stop there. See, the "sky" part of the name isn't just clever marketing. This car actually flies.
The huge parachute wing/propeller combination the car uses to fly enables you to steer it with two pulleys, much like a parachute. What's better, thanks to this method of flight, you can totally operate it without a pilot's license of any kind.
6.Tramontana R Edition
it's actually more fighter jet than car. Performance-wise, the Tramontana R Edition is no slouch, either. With a 720-horsepower V12 engine on a frame that only weighs 2,990 pounds, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 214 mph.
It looks less plausible than any Batmobile design. But not only is it real, it's street legal. Oh, and this is how you get into the car:
5.Real Tron Light Cycle
Short of an actual working hoverboard, the most unattainable pop culture vehicle has to be the Tron light cycle. Clearly, these impossible bikes were designed with little more than the cool factor in mind. That neon-lighted ghetto blaster shape and those empty wheels are just not things in real-life motorcycles.
Or so you'd think. Parker Brothers Choppers will totally fix you up with a completely street legal, fully operational version of the Tron motorcycle -- no mean feat, as the originals were pretty much computer generated. The price tag for the bike is around $55,000.
4.The WaterCar Python
You can now cruise the streets around the beach in a neat, Corvette-based convertible that can -- should the need arise to shut up that competitive jerk at the traffic light -- easily hit 60 mph in around 4.5 seconds. Then, you drive down to the actual beach. Swimsuit-clad members of the opposite sex stare in awe as you steer right into the water and hit a button to retract the wheels.
Instantly, the Python becomes a fully functional speedboat with a top speed of 60 mph -- more than enough to make most actual boats look bad in comparison.
3.Jet Limousine
The tail stands 11 feet high, and the whole thing sits on custom 28-inch chrome wheels. Its length is a respectable 42 feet from nose to rear, and its 101 inches from side to side are exactly one inch away from making it illegally wide. Oh, and it's a freaking jet plane. We really can't stress that part enough.
It is equally impressive on the inside: The 18-seat vehicle has a 42-inch HD plasma screen, an 8,000 watt sound system and several cow herds' worth of leather.
2.All-Terrain Gamer
The ATG is basically a Transformer that decided to skip the "robot" phase in favor of a "badass entertainment center" one. Its base mode is that of a perfectly ordinary Toyota Tacoma pickup. But at the flick of a wrist and the push of a button, it becomes the magic car we all always really wanted.
The sides of the car are actually two giant gull-wing doors, which rise up to provide shelter for the front and back seats that rearrange into a neat, four-seat row. Four 24-inch LCD screens fold out of the paneling, providing everyone with their own monitor. The custom made Kicker sound system fires up, the drinks cooler unveils itself and the controllers emerge. You and your friends are now sitting in the best Game Cave around, and as the vehicle comes with four Xbox 360 consoles, it looks as if you're going to be staying for some time.
As the icing on the cake, a giant 66-inch monitor pops out the back of the vehicle, so everyone stuck behind your now traffic-stopping gaming party can see exactly how much fun you're having.
1.The Sofa Car
The leopard-print Casual Lofa is precisely that. In fact, it holds its own against plenty of other, decidedly less couchy vehicles on the road -- with a top speed of 87 mph, it is a former record holder for being the fastest piece of furniture in existence.
Much to the chagrin of law enforcement -- and despite boasting features such as a pizza pan steering wheel, a chocolate bar to change gears, indicators in two flowerpots, a speedometer inside a clock and a working television -- the Casual Lofa is a completely street legal, registered vehicle. Not that it's likely to stop you from getting pulled over -- the vehicle's builder has been stopped by the police as many as 12 times within a single day.
