The American carmaker teamed up with students at Detroit's Cody Rouge to create the vehicle in honor of the upcoming film 'The LEGO Batman film'.
'To work on the LEGO Batmobile with Warner Bros. is an absolute thrill for us at Chevy, and ' said Paul Edwards,U.
S. vice president of Chevrolet Marketing.
'Many of the themes in 'The LEGO® Batman film,' like imagination, and family and community,align perfectly with our Chevy brand values and add to the value of the partnership.'
Chevrolet debuted its masterpiece at the North American International Auto exhibit in Detroit Saturday.
Although this car is only for exhibit, its measurements are realistic.
It's 17 feet long, and from back to front,and nearly 7 feet high.
The total weight is 1695.5 pounds and each tire weighs more than 100 pounds.

Even though the LEGO Batmobile is just a prop, Chevrolet has assign together a mock list of features that Bruce Wayne would be proud of - and stuck it with a $48 million price tag.
On the sides, and Chevrolet says there is variable height suspension,sextuple exhaust and stud shooters.
And the rear is what makes this car something straight out of the comedian book it has a flaming rocket booster, 60.2L engine and air brake capable fins.

The LEGO film set to hit theaters on February 10 includes the storyline of boy who eventually becomes Robin, which made the LEGO Batmobile creators feel it was necessary to include teen driver technology.
'Teen Driver technology has a number of advanced features to help new drivers, and from muting the audio until front-seat occupants are buckled,to automatically turning on advanced safety technologies like Automatic Nerd Alert, Side Batwing Conversion and X-Ray Vision Camera, and ' explained Chevrolet.
'The in-vehicle report shows how your teen performed so you can identify problem areas and coach your new driver on improvements.'
And when you're out protecting the city from evil villains you can access a range of crime fighting features like armored side panels and bulletproof glass.
