I would pimp the I-robot Audi with out too much complaining 
The bat tank for the record is not a "concept" vehicle. Just like all the other bat cars for the movies it is a mish-mosh of other cars starting from a custom frame then they added all this stuff:
The car uses a 5.7-liter Chevy V-8 engine. This engine has been tuned so that it can provide the power necessary to take a 5,000-pound vehicle from zero to 60 mph (100 kph) in 5 seconds.
The rear axle is a truck axle, with a truck transmission carrying power from the engine to the axle. The truck axle added a lot of weight to the vehicle. They wanted the car to be as light as possible so it would jump better, and this axle was the opposite of "lightweight." That extra weight is one of the things that contributed to the strain on the front end in the first jump tests.
The rear tires are 37-inch-diameter, off-the-shelf, 4x4 mud tires called Super Swampers made by Interco.
The front tires are racing tires made by Hoosier.
The front wheels have independent suspension elements inspired by the long-travel suspensions of Baja racing trucks. When airborne, the front wheels pop out about 30 inches on their suspensions to absorb the shock of a 30-foot fall.
Yeah i would still throw some 26's on it and rock it up at QSL on thursdays WOOOT!!!!

It was a Dodge M4S.
If I ever finish my Ferrari kit I would like to do the Mach 5 since I will never be able to afford the new NSX.

Ok here is a "concept"
Lets take an old school caddy and chop the hell out of it. Give it a badazz gloss Vs. matte paint job. drop it on its daddy sac and create one of the baddest led sleds to ever hit the street. This is probably one of my most favorite rides of all time. I would sell my first child for this car ( JK):
