If anyone brings up the topic of awesome superhero vehicles. there's onein particularthat will always be brought up without fail. That iconic vehicle is, of course, Batman's own Batmobile. One of the most badass pieces of metal on four wheels that has graced the pages of comics everywhere.

However, there's another hero from a universe opposite from Batman's with a vehicle that is arguably just as badass but far more underrated. That vehicle is Spider-Man's Spider-Buggy. While both of these vehicles are equally just as awesome they both are great for different reasons. Reasons that will be looked at throughout this list.
The thing about the Batmobile is that even people that aren't fans of the comics featuring DC's Dark Knight are still just as familiar with it as a comic fan. This car has shown up in literally every live-action iteration of Batman throughout the years which has given it tons of exposure, putting it into the eyes of the general public.
This car is up there with rides like theGhostbuster's Ecto-1 in terms of popularity. It's also one of those cars that one can usually bet on seeing when going to any comic book convention.
Take an actual car and give it webs and you have a ride in theory that can catch and stop just about any thief. The fact that the Spider-Buggy can literally shoot out Spider-Man's powerful and staple webbing formula is case enough for it being one of the best rides in comics. This is a simple yet effective asset that any ride of Spidey's should boast.
The bad thing about this is that this hot ride wasn't equipped with Spider-Man's web fluid until its third appearance in the Spider-Man series where it was featured in the Parker Industries museum.
One of the reasons that the Batmobile is so iconic is due to the fact that it not only has changed appearances into something sleeker and suited for battle than it originally was but also due to the fact that it has evolved throughout time from one car to another. The Batmobile is one ride that will never look the same throughout the Batman iterations.

Fans have been able to see different takes on Batman's car of choice with each new version of their favorite hero. With so many cars to choose from, it truly seems as if this super car will never go out of style.
One thing that the Spider-Buggy has kept on board throughout time no matter the iteration of it is the goofy charm that puts a smile on the face of whoever sees it. This is not only due to the fact that the car is quite literally a dune buggy meant for action but also due to the fact that Spider-Man doesn't really need a car.
Batman's Batmobile once had this same charm back when it was first created and shown in live-action during the 60s, but since then it's ditched that goof factor. Spidey's ride has kept this style all along.
One of the things that Batman fans love about Batman is that he's a hero that is relatively realistic. With enough money, just about everything Batman can do can be done in real life, which has become more apparent as the world goes further into the future. This point of the Batman character is even mirrored by his trusty ride.

The Batmobile is a ride that probably already exists somewhere. Not only has its look been copied in real-life versions but the tech is probably out there somewhere. This is one of the key factors of the Batman mythos and something fans eat up about this ride.
Whereas many iterations of the Batmobile attempt to ground themselves in a bit of realism, the Spider-Buggy decides to do the complete opposite by defying any laws of physics and doing crazy things like going up the walls of skyscrapers. This unreal feat of Spider-Man's dune buggy is completely dumb and awesome at the same time.
It's things like this that aren't explained in the slightest that makes the Spider-Buggy such an awesome and iconic ride. Hopefully, it comes back and shows off even more ridiculous feats.
One thing that the Spider-Buggy hasn't shown fans is any kind of transformations. Guess what super car does have that on its resume. Yup, the Batmobile. Installment after installment, Batman's ride has shown fans different transformations used to adapt to all different types of situations.
The Batmobile has had flying forms, underwater forms, rocket forms, and most iconic, a tank form. It can also store a whole motorcycle which could somewhat count as a transformation.
If it hasn't been noticed until now, the Spider-Buggy can do just about everything that Spider-Man can. Climb up walls, shoot webs, take on large foes, etc. Not only that but the Spider-Buggy has a look, including paint job, that directly mirrors the alter-ego of its owner.

The Batmobile may be an extension of Batman, but Spidey's color palette and the Buggy's toolkit takes that a step further by having the two literally mirror each other.
Unless there is a way to fit an entire super computer inside of a dune buggy then this is one feature that the Batmobile will always hold over the head of the Spider-Buggy.
Batman's line of work means that he needs to be prepared for every situation no matter the location. This super computer ensures that this preparation is a non-issue, basically giving him unlimited knowledge no matter where his mission may take him.
The Batmobile is simply another tool created by Batman and/or his associates. Unlike this ride, the Spider-Buggy comes with a funny backstory of a car company wanting to have a brand deal with Spidey. He crashes the car during a battle with a few foes but retrieves and returns it.
Years later he comes back to the idea of a Spider-Buggy and creates a new model complete with the ability to do whatever a spider can.
