SL65 AMG Black Series - looks like the sort of thing Batman would have as a daily driver:
Why would Batman drive that when he has the Batmobile? Would be no good in Gotham city as it is always wet and I would imagine that if Batman was just out and about for a drink and some food, and was attacked by villainous villains he would run back to that, jump in, start it, put his foot the floor and it would just spin on the spot, then when he did get going in the constant water logged night streets of Gotham it would be like driving a lit catherine wheel, although Bruce Wayne might enjoy it.so called said:
Dont think this is the same one but....
There was a guy back in the 70's who put a 27ltr Merlin Engine in a Rolls Royce. (well it had a RR grill on it).
He had to a have clutch specially built. I think it was called 'The beast".
There was a recording played on the radio where this radio dj was sat in the car as the owner floored it.
He was screaming over the noise of the engine ..." 20,40,60,70 ....and we're in reverse ahhhhhhhhhhh".
Another story was of an Italian rich guy I think in Holland before the speed restrictions and doing 180mph or so when he looks in the mirror to see this RR grill bearing down fast on him. He got out of the way and the next day called RR for one of their new models.
Unfortunately it went up in smoke.

To be honest, there's no particular car I move over for, just because it's a 'X'.
I can usually recognise a car in a hurry (in daylight) in my mirror and then, if appropriate, get out of the way (although I always try not to be in the way in the first place).
It's more about the 'stance' of the car than whether it's some BMW, Mercedes or Lambo.
