I've seen this car before.
Is this the original Batman car?
No and Ferrari doesn’t always have cars with rear engines.

Wasn't this another GM concept car from back in the 50's? Buick or Olds?

Just because you CAN do something doesn’t mean you SHOULD…..

^^^^^^ Are you talking about that Mercedes front end with the truck-bed and what looks like late-90s Camry rear taillights?

You could maybe call it an El-Mercino LOL

I don’t see an Impala. But the black car is a paste generation Bonneville.

Look at the silver-gray El-Camino-like vehicle right next to it. I thought that was what you were refering to. It has a Mercedes front end and a Camry rear taillights.

And Carfan94 is correct......that black car next to it is a Pontiac Bonneville.

To me it doesn't look like they used different cars to create one, but rather they took an existing older Mercedes and chopped/moved the roof. I'm not getting the Camry taillights. Those look like standard issue Mercedes tails to me.

Whatever it is, it's wild.
