Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro – 1966 Batmobile Tribute

Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro - 1966 Batmobile Tribute
If you are a car buff, then you can appreciate great car design when you see it. The lines, the curves, the details. The power. Now combine a car like the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro with the classic 1966 Batman car and what do you get? You get a stunning beauty that melts your heart. Illustrator Marco van Overbeeke, of the Netherlands, decided to make a rendering of what he envisioned these two cars would look like when combined.

Right down to the Batman logo on the hubcaps, this car rendering is out of this world. Every detail is well thought out and just right. The question is, what would this car cost if it were the real deal? Check out more shots here.

Star Wars TIE Fighter Universal Mobile Car Grip

Star Wars TIE Fighter Universal Mobile Car Grip
The empire wasn’t short of resources and the TIE Fighter was the most effective short-range assault space fighter they had. It was so effective, Lord Vader nearly wiped out the entire rebel fighter force in order to protect the Death Star. If you are more inclined towards the dark side, this Mobile Car Grip modeled after the iconic fighter vessel will be your phone holder of choice. It holds your phone while you drive allowing you to use Sat-Nav on the road as well as the 90 degrees rotation feature. The Star Wars TIE Fighter Universal Mobile Car Grip is compatible with most vehicles and is very easy to install.

Captain Phasma Themed Nissan Maxima

Captain Phasma Themed Nissan Maxima
Nissan has been working with Industrial Light & Magic and Burbank’s Vehicle Effects shop to produce a series of limited edition vehicles modeled after characters from Star Wars. And you know what? The Phasma-inspired Nissan Maxima is pretty stunning. As long as it performs better than Phasma did in The Force Awakens anyway. Because if this vehicle mimics her actual storyline as well as her aesthetics, this car is going to stall in the driveway.

Life-Sized LEGO Batman Batmobile

Life-Sized LEGO Batman Batmobile
Chevy has been having a lot of fun with the new LEGO Batman movie. Chevy and LEGO has built a life sized LEGO Batman Batmobile. It contains more than 340,000 LEGO pieces, and is 17 feet in length. The total weight is 1,695.5 pounds. Each tire alone is just over 100 pounds. It took 222 hours to design and 1,833 hours to build. And I want one.

Kaiyodo Batman Classic 1966 Movie 1:35 Scale Batmobile

Kaiyodo Batman Classic 1966 Movie 1 35 Scale Batmobile
Quick Robin, to the Batmobile! From the 1966 classic Batman: The Movie, this 1:35 Scale Batmobile from Kaiyodo is an amazing recreation of the iconic vehicle. It has spinning tires and opening doors, hood, and trunk. As far as I’m concerned, this is one of the best cars ever to grace the small or big screen. It also includes standing and sitting Batman and Robin figures because no one else is allowed to be in this vehicle. This one is going to look awesome in your collection.

Star Trek Spock and 1964 Buick Riviera Hot Wheels Car

Star Trek Spock and 1964 Buick Riviera Hot Wheels Car
Star Trek fans might remember back in the early days of the original series when Leonard Nimoy celebrated the success of the show by buying a Buick Riviera. There’s a famous picture of Nimoy leaning against the car on the studio backlot. Well, this scene is now a new Hot Wheels toy created to celebrate Star Trek’s 50th anniversary.

It will be available soon from MattyCollector.com for $20. You don’t see this kind of collectible everyday. Leonard Nimoy. Dressed as Spock. Leaning against his new car. On the studio backlot. It’s weird, but I like it.
