Away from Porsches here for a bit, & onto having a sci-fiction movie vehicle in your real-life garage. Exhibit A, the Dark Knight's latest car, the "Tumbler"
Gizmodo.com's "DIY Batman Tumbler Is Nearly Perfect, Built With One Man's Bare Hands"
I was expecting bats in the belfry, not plaster people in the ceiling!
Don't tailgate this guy

To the Batcave!
Prefer a bike? ...Batman's "Custom Batpod" on uncrate.com.
As gizmodo.com says on their "Own a Batpod From The Dark Knight For a Mere $100,000" page, the bad guys might be just fine. But you?
Warning: you will definitely kill yourself trying to ride it.
Luckily if you don't have $100k to fight crime & risk your life, you may still read about the $45k option on the expired eBay auction of seller 'parkerbrotherscustomchoppers' -- "2010 Custom Built Motorcycles Chopper Custom Made Batpod," item #220627997342.

for $35k, lots of neon:
Didn't those Tron guys turn at 90-degree angles in the movie? Hmmmm....
Well, if you want the real-life version (that goes straight):
The same builder of the Batpod is holding one of the world's only 5 Tron Lightcycles, just for you!

Those include the twin-charged 1.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine from the Polo GTI as well as a turbo 2.0-liter gasser from the Golf GTI.

Obviously, Not All Sci-Fi Bikes Are As Awesome As Tron's
"Obviously, Not All Sci-Fi Bikes Are As Awesome As Tron's"
The sequel series "Galactica 1980" go off the air after only shows due to the poor role-models they presented?
At ~1:10, watch the moral example these 'Turbocycles' show impressionable kiddos
