'It' being a Batmobile,
the car was built by Nguyen
Dac Chung, a 23-year-old architecture student from Hanoi who had always dreamed of
driving his very own Batmobile, so last
year he decided to make his dream a reality, He poured 10 months of work and
over 500 million VND into the project, at today's rate £16,720 or $21,514 of his own money, although
it’s only 90 percent complete, Nguyen Dac Chung has already been attracting
attention on Hanoi’s street and has been featured by major Vietnamese news
outlets,
the home-made Batmobile is powered by a four-cylinder, 400 cc engine and
can reach a top speed of 100 km/h. The suspension system consists of 4 front
shock absorbers and 2 rear shock absorbers, and the car spoiler can be adjusted
thorough a pneumatic system, for functional purposes, it has a motorcycle
exhaust rather than the jet engine the original uses,
on the
inside, the Batmobile has enough room to fit two people comfortably, Nguyen Dac Chung admits
that he still has lots of work to do on the interior, especially the lighting,
but adds that his vehicle is still a work in progress, to build his dream car,
the Vietnamese student used both domestic parts, but also components imported
from the US and South Korea, the tires for example, could only be found
overseas, apart from studying architecture, Dac Chung is also an entrepreneur
(he manages his own cosplay production company) and used the profit of his
business to finance his Batmobile project, what a huge amount of work he
undertook to make his dream come true.
