Batmobile and Toyota F1 will promote The Dark Knight


Thanks to a partnership between Panasonic Toyota Racing and Warner Bros. Pictures, Hollywood is coming to Silverstone for the British Grand Prix weekend to celebrate the release of the event movie of the summer: The Dark Knight.

The much-anticipated film, which releases in cinemas across the UK on 25 July, is the follow up to the 2005 action hit Batman Begins. The Dark Knight reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who again portrays the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman.

To mark the release of The Dark Knight, Panasonic Toyota Racing will adopt a new look at Silverstone this weekend. The Dark Knight artwork will feature on the TF108s and the overalls of Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock, as well as the team’s motor home.

But The Dark Knight theme does not stop there. On show at Silverstone will be the iconic Batmobile and Bat-Pod vehicles, while some very special media events will bring the excitement of The Dark Knight to life.

The Batmobile will even take to the Silverstone track on Thursday evening for a demonstration run alongside the TF108, followed by some unique photo opportunities with the Bat-Pod and Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock.

Does Toyota have any involvement in creation of the new "Tumbler"? I remember the older one in the "Batman Begins" movie had a Corvette engine in it.

Dark Knight: batmobeast

Too excited for this movie, and that Batmoblies' beastly! but i would have liked to seen the toyota race car next to the beast as well! Maybe a GUn Metal IS-F with huge toyota decals representing for TOYOTA instead of PANASONIC! my respects to panasonic of course.
