Gotham's Iconic Tumbler Hits the Market
Get ready, car enthusiasts! A stunning opportunity has arisen for fans of the Dark Knight. Just 10 officially licensed, fully operational replicas of the Batmobile, famously known as the Tumbler from Christopher Nolan's acclaimed The Dark Knight Trilogy (2005-2012), are now available for a cool $2.99 million (approximately S$3.9 million). If you're lucky enough to be selected from a queue of eager buyers, you could own this marvel that’s shorter than a Mazda 3 yet boasts a width comparable to a tipper truck.
Each Tumbler will be custom-made according to the owner's preferences and will include a certificate of authenticity from Warner Bros Discovery. Under the hood, the beast is powered by a roaring 6.2-liter engine, generating a remarkable 659Nm of torque. The engineering marvel features a tubular spaceframe chassis, functional flap actuators, and a smoke screen system—a true nod to its iconic cinematic status. While it isn't street-legal, this left-hand drive, two-seater comes equipped with a navigation system. Interested buyers can find more details at www.BruceWayneX.com.
Rolls-Royce Welcomes Younger Owners
In other luxury vehicle news, Rolls-Royce is witnessing a significant generational shift among its clientele. The average age of Rolls-Royce owners has plummeted from 56 in 2010 to just 43 today, thanks to models like the opulent Rolls-Royce Cullinan, which have attracted a younger demographic. Interestingly, as more young drivers embrace these vehicles, the trend indicates that only 10% of Cullinan owners opt for a chauffeur, revealing a new era of hands-on luxury driving.
The latest iteration, the Cullinan Series II, made waves during its Southeast Asian debut in Singapore on October 30. Inspired by the glimmering architecture of modern skyscrapers, the exterior features fresh headlamp designs and daytime running lights. Inside, a cutting-edge glass panel fascia brings a modern touch to the dashboard, with enhanced digital connectivity. Deliveries for the Series II are set to start in the first quarter of 2025, making it a highly anticipated addition to the luxury SUV lineup.

The SUV is equipped with a special Maybach driving program, which optimizes chassis dynamics to limit body roll, ensuring a smooth ride.
Under the hood, the dual-motor electric powerhouse delivers an impressive 484kW combined output, allowing for an impressive range of up to 635km on a single charge. The price tag for this opulent electric experience is set at $976,888, inclusive of the certificate of entitlement (COE).
