Any decent sized speed bump would wreck havoc on that low front end. The super villian would have to drive very carefully to avoid obstructions along his escape route.

That would look nice in black, though. Maybe chrome...

Very Aerodynamic, but clearly far better suited to a race track of the German Autobahn than it would be to the pot hole and speed bump filled streets of the US of A.
Based on the comics, I fully expect that Gotham city has optically smooth streets.

I guess I must have no taste. I find the car asthetically pleasing even if it is totally impractical.

yeah, I kinda like the way it looks but doubt it's something you could drive to work everyday?

Indeed.
Clearly, though, this is the car you buy after you've already built an impossibly smooth private racetrack.

Looks like the cars from I-Robot.

It's the wheel coverings that turn me off aesthetically to this car. Way to ruin some perfectly good lines running through it.
Not a fan of the color either. A gun-metal gray would be pretty hot though.

I think they should re-paint it to be like the car in The Muppet Movie.

I'm afraid that no super-villain worth his salt would ever rely on an Audi as a get-away car.

.. that's an ugly grill.

I like how it plows the snow as you go so that you can get where you are going unimpeded.

Exact same thing I thought.
In Miami traffic, that thing would get broadsided in a heartbeat. It's too wide.

I definitely could picture it being used in a super hero/super villain type context. Swerving through the streets, bouncing other cars off of it with its built in ... magnets. It clears the speedbumps and obstructions by good old fashioned hydraulics, and, with a shout out to the old school, drops nails and oil from its bumper at the push of a button.
