eBay Find of the Day: The Batsmart
BatSmart from SEMA – Click above for high-res image gallery
One of the most unusual vehicles to grace last year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas is now up for auction on eBay Motors. Called the BatSmart, this little vehicle was unlike most of the high-octane pieces of rolling artwork at the event in that it used just three pistons and 70 horsepower to move along its twin passengers. What it loses in power, though, it makes up in style, right?
Designed by George Barris himself, creator of the original Batmobile from the mid '60s, the Batsmart features a faux turbine and rocket launchers to go along with its full custom body kit, which includes the requisite rear batfins and rodent-like pointy nose.

I like that BatSmart. Pretty cool. Would make a good rental car. I think all neat, different cars (Batmobile, Bluesmobile, etc) should be available for proms, etc.

Someone needs to stop George Barris.
Granted, he made some AWESOME cars in the day, but the day has long passed. Like most old geezers who customize their rides, his newest creations have that "I love the JC Whitney catalog!" feel to them. They're piles of tacked-on BS.
George, if you're listening, please stop. Save what's left of your legacy.

Please do some research before you claim George Barris designed the Batmobile.
He is known to take credit for many creations, which were designed by others.

Pretty badass, though i'm not sure about the color scheme and the red tinted windows. Kinda poor photography though..they should have waited for that ugly black thing to move out of the way.
