Here is a collection of disturbing, fan made Batmobiles. First some versions of the classic Batmobile from the 1960s:

Some failed attempts at converting an everyday car into the Batmobile:

For the first Batman movies, Batman changed to a sleek, sport car like model based on a Chevrolet platform. Everything worked on this model, including the jet engine in the back.
