Real-life Batmobile for just £7,000 using 10 tons of waste metal - PHOTO

Businessman Li Weilei, 26, painstakingly put together the two-ton model with four mechanics in a quiet residential workshop in Shanghai.The remarkable replica is almost identical to Bruce Wayne's wheels in the Dark Knight trilogy, with just one crucial difference - it doesn't have an engine.Instead the enthusiasts have had to move their creation about using a professional scrapyard hoist.The five friends put together the model at a workshop in the Minhang district, where photos of the creation alongside cyclists and passers-by quickly went viral online.They saved money at every turn, spending just 70,000 yuan (£7,100) and hand-polishing the bodywork to save cash.With extensive experience in prop design and talent in cutting and soldering, they made the whole model from 10 tons of scrap metal in two months.They have now made a series of the cars, Li said. 'We've built a dozen Batman's cars,' he added. 'Two of them are in Shanghai, while the rest are on display in other parts of the country.'Feng Dohan, a police officer who took photos of the car, said: 'We have had a lot of enquiries, but I hate to disappoint fans.The vehicle is actually a life-size model of Batman's futuristic car.'It is quite amazing though - not the sort of vehicle you want to give a ticket to.'The low-slung car is more than 10ft wide with rear wheels almost half as tall as a grown person.Their model is almost a hundred times cheaper than a fully-functioning 'Tumbler' Batmobile which went on sale earlier this year.Just one of five replicas built, it featured a 5.7-litre V8 engine and 44-inch tyres and is completely street legal.That's more than can be said for Li's model - and there's one other hitch, too.For copyright reasons his car is not a Batmobile, nor has it ever been called one.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
