Batman™ is the first monster truck in conjunction with Warner Bros™ in the southern hemisphere.

Batman™ is a $700,000 state of the art monster with full space frame chassis and fibreglass body. The truck is powered by a supercharged 510 big block chev, run on racing fuel, with a power output of just over 1800 horse power. Batman™ has a fuel tank that holds approximately 40 Litres of the highly volatile methanol racing fuel and uses all 40 litres in just 10 Minutes. This truck is not just one of the most expensive Monster Trucks ever built but also one of the most thirsty.

Next time you see this truck just remember you never know just who will be driving – maybe even “BATMAN” himself.

This “MUSCLE” Monster Truck has come to Australia direct from Patrick Enterprises in USA.

Dan Patrick, the 2008 USA Monster Truck Champion, began his career in Tractor pulling events. He progressed to Monster Trucks in 1988, with the purchase of the Samson Monster Truck and since then designed and built many more. The all new Samson was built in 1993. Dan is constantly making appearances all over the USA, such is the popular demand of this dynamic Monster Driver.

Dan has personally overseen the building of our truck from the ground up, so you will see high flying, car crushing jumps from Samson, that runs on steroids.

At different times during the year, you can expect to witness Dan himself at the wheel, displaying his masterful talent that impressed the USA judges and spectators alike.
