Someone tell Max Brooks to put this in the newest edition of the Zombie Survival Guide. Recently unveiled on the floor of Comic-Con, I present to you, the customized Hyundai Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine, designed by The Walking Dead creator/writer Robert Kirkman.
This bad ass automobile features a front-end custom zombie plow with spikes, armored window coverings, a roof hatch so passengers can fend off (read - obliterate) attacking walkers, a trunk full of electric and pneumatic weaponry, front and back end floodlights, spiked all-terrain/rally type tires, a CB radio system and much more.
Fans can view a series of behind-the-scenes videos that detail the creation of the Zombie Survival Machine and showcase the car build from start to finish at Skybound.com and on HyundaiUndead.com.
The Hyundai Undead program celebrates the release of the 100th issue of The Walking Dead comic (the show's new season doesn't start until October, read the friggin' things already!). In addition to the Zombie Survival Machine, Kirkman, Skybound and Hyundai also created a Hyundai Elantra GT wrapped in the cover of The Walking Dead 100th issue by artist Charlie Adlard. All of these events will be celebrated at the private The Walking Dead 100th Issue VIP Black Carpet Event on July 13.
"Our custom Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine is the ultimate car for The Walking Dead fans and anyone who wants to survive a zombie invasion," said Steve Shannon, vice president of Marketing, Hyundai Motor America. "We are excited for fans to come and experience the Elantra Coupe and GT in a unique, post-apocalyptic way."
Comic-Con attendees will be able to take pictures with the Zombie Survival Machine at the Future US booth, and get inside the vehicle to check out all of the features, including a limited run illustrated owner's manual that walks drivers through the machine's unique features and prepares them for the gruesome realities of the zombie apocalypse. The booth will also feature a Zombie Target practice area and a zombie costume contest.
Activision will also be showing it's Walking Dead videogame at Comic-Con this Saturday, July 14.
