New York '08 Preview: Bruce Wayne's Lamborghini Batman car debuting at gala
Click above to view video
We all remember the Lamborghini Murcielago's cameo in Batman Begins, right? Well apparently producers think that Lamborghinis make good supporting actors, because a Lamborghini has once again been cast in the upcoming sequel called The Dark Knight. Though Batman himself will still pilot the Tumbler through the streets of Gotham while fighting the Joker, his public persona, Bruce Wayne, will be seen rolling in a Raging Bull that can reportedly do some major damage, as well. Winding Road found this video from MTV.com that reveals what the car looks like as a toy, but we'll be seeing the real thing in person this Thursday when it debuts at the East Side House Settlement Gala Preview for the 2008 New York Auto Show, which happens to be sponsored by Lamborghini. Though tickets for the gala start at $150 for just cocktails and $1,000 for dinner (it's all for charity, folks), we'll do our best to crash the party and get live pics of Bruce Wayne's other car.
Also of note is that Lamborghini will be auctioning off the very first 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 to be sold in the U.S. at the gala. We'll try to keep our hands down during that part of the evening's festivities.

I don't think "casted" is a word.

What is this?
A car for ants?
How can he be expected to fight crime if he can't even fit inside the building?
The car has to be at least...three times bigger than this!

"You haven't beaten me, you've sacrificed sure footing for a killing stroke..." Best line in the first movie.
Anyway, is it me or does that not look like a Murcielago.

It says its a Lamborghini but its hard to tell which model from that angle. The last movie featured a adult size Murcielago Roadster Batman Movie. Where's the Lincoln MK model car?

Notice the guy says "shift attack coupe" and no reference that it's a Lambo. Toys rarely keep the brand of the car due to licenseing (cost of license, denial of license). And look, Batman is in the middle of the cockpit. It ain't no McLaren F1. Cheap toy that's all and we will see soon what it will look like anyway. sorry for the spelling.....
