[Sixty8panther]

this concept car cost $250,000 to build (in Italy)

years later it was sold by the manufacturer for $1.00

it was repainted red when it was 5 years old & featured in a movie

after some "modification" it gained cult status

original motor was rated at 330 hp

Holy Concept Car, Batman!

Lincoln Futura, aka the Batmobile.

The Batmobile is black, not red.

I was going to say DeLorean, but it too isn't red in the "Back to the Future" movies.

Hmm......

The problem here is that you assume Batman is the first usage it was in. Besides, Batman was on TV, I dont think it was a movie back then.
