Car of the Day

I’ve already talked a little bit about the cars of Ironman or actually the cars of Tony Stark.  Once he dons the Ironman suit the concept of driving a car is irrelevant.  The premier auto of Tony Stark that was featured was the fantastic Audi R8.  

Enter the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, that Bruce Wayne will drive in the upcoming Batman movie “The Dark Knight Returns”.   Of course Bruce Wayne actually has one of the coolest cars ever in the Batmobile, but if you leave the world of fiction, the Murcielago LP640 is the nearest thing to a real world Batmobile. 

If Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne were to roll up next each other at a stop light Tony Stark would get smoked by Bruce Wayne’s Lambo. 

Tony Stark probably didn’t think his 420hp V8 powered Audi that can hit 60 in 4.2 seconds would ever put him in a position to get smoked by the guy in the next car over.  Most of the time Mr. Stark would be right about his R8 doing the smoking.  But when the next guy pulls up in the LP640 with a 640hp V12 that can eclipse the 60mph mark in 3.3 seconds there’s not many options with 4 wheels that can compete with those numbers.

There is a great line in the new Batman movie previews where Alfred asks Bruce Wayne if he is going to take the Batmobile.  At which point Bruce responds with simple “no.” This causes Alfred to quip “The Lamborghini then, much more subtle.”  It’s nice to see Alfred still has his sense of humor.

Now if Tony Stark’s and Bruce Wayne’s alter egos were to meet at a stop light.  Ironman would blow away the Batmobile.  So each Super hero comes away from this comparo with a win.
