Hot Wheels '66 Batman TV Series Batmobile with Red Stripe 131/250 4/5 (2021)

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na — Batmobile! 🦇❤️

Few vehicles in the history of television have burned themselves into the cultural consciousness the way the 1966 TV Series Batmobile has. This 2021 Hot Wheels '66 Batman TV Series Batmobile (#131/250, Batman Series #4/5) brings the most beloved version of the Caped Crusader's ride to your collection in a classic black with red stripe deco that perfectly captures the spirit of the Adam West era.

George Barris built the original 1966 Batmobile from a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car in just fifteen days — and created an icon that has outlasted virtually everything else from that era of television. The tailfins. The bubble canopy. The Bat-phone. The red trim accents. The atomic turbine engine. Every detail of that car was designed to be simultaneously campy and cool, ridiculous and aspirational — and it worked perfectly. Adam West and Burt Ward cruising through Gotham City in that magnificent machine is one of the most joyful images in all of pop culture, and the red stripe on this Hot Wheels release is a direct nod to the trim that made the original so visually striking.

What makes the '66 Batmobile casting so enduringly popular in the Hot Wheels catalog is that it appeals to multiple generations simultaneously — the grandparents who watched Adam West in prime time, the parents who discovered it in reruns, and the younger collectors who came to appreciate it through the Hot Wheels Batman sub-line releases. It's a car that transcends its era, and the black and red colorway is its most definitive form. Slotting in at #4 of 5 in the 2021 Batman sub-line, this is a key piece for series completionists and a standout display piece for any Batmobile collection.
