# Carbon Superhero Vehicles Team Galag Takes Its Carbon Fiber Batmobile Car to the Gumball Rally By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-05-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batmobile-car References: [theverge](http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/3/11579080/batmobile-lamborghini-gallardo-carbon-fiber-gumball-rally) & [teamgalag](http://teamgalag.com/) Taking a Lamborghini Gallardo and making some Bruce Wayne-inspired adjustments, some serious car fanatics from [Team Galag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grownup-repair-kit) have transformed it into their own [Batmobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-wheels-rc-original-edition-batmobile) car. After over a year in progress, the project is complete after the lead engineer put in many hours with Swedish car company [Koenigsegg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megacar), the same company that introduced the stunning Regera sports car, which debuted at the Geneva Motor Show. Creators used carbon fiber to build this impressive machine and are planning to take the #TGX Batmobile from Dublin to Bucharest as part of the Gumball Rally with Team Galag, a car they refer to as a "V10 powered animal." Obviously notable on the streets, this Batmobile has already garnered some (positive) attention from the police. Team Galag tweeted: "First time to get pulled over. Belgian police were nice enough to let us go without a fine and they wanted some pics." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Carbon Fiber Vehicles:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry by using carbon fiber materials to create lightweight and high-performance vehicles. - **Customized Superhero Cars:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the car modification industry by creating custom superhero-themed vehicles. - **Alternative Rally Cars:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the rally car industry by introducing alternative fuel sources and advanced technologies in race vehicles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can explore the use of carbon fiber materials to create more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles. - **Car Modification:** Car modification companies can tap into the market of creating customized superhero-themed vehicles for car enthusiasts. - **Sports Car Manufacturing:** Sports car manufacturers can develop alternative fuel-powered rally cars with advanced technologies to participate in rally events like the Gumball Rally. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Superhero Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina-b95-gotham.md) - [Bat-Inspired Luxury Hypercar Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-hypercar.md) - [Modernized Superhero RC Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-wheels-rc-original-edition-batmobile.md) - [Autonomous Superhero Transportation Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wr322-ugv-batpod.md) - [Stealthy Fantasy-Themed Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/f117-4wd-covenant.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Water Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maverick-gt-stormy-knight.md) - [Reimagined Road-Legal Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadlegal-supercar.md) - [Stealthy Hero-Inspired Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batmobile-crocs.md) - [Carbon Fiber Supercar Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-panigale-v4-lamborghini.md)
