Hyundai reveals Elantra Zombie Survival Machine at San Diego Comic-Con

The San Diego Comic-Con became the site of a new car debut last week, as a specially-designed Hyundai Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine was unveiled. Hyundai recently teamed up with the creator of The Walking Dead, a popular comic book detailing life during a zombie apocalypse, to design the ideal post-apocalyptic, zombie-crushing machine.

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman added his personal touches to the Elantra, including a spiked zombie plow, armored windows, a rooftop escape hatch, a CB radio, a trunk filled with weapons and many other additions that make the car the best ride for surviving the zombie apocalypse. The car is obviously not street legal, but fans of the comic have the chance to win another Hyundai – an Elantra GT – that has been wrapped with a design based on the cover of the comic's 100th issue. This vehicle is also being displayed at the comic convention.

"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 for Hyundai Motor America. "We are excited for fans to come and experience the Elantra Coupe and GT in a unique, post-apocalyptic way."

Drivers who are in the market for a vehicle and want something reliable in case the dead begin to walk the earth should head over to NJ Auto Auction. The dealer has a wide variety of makes and models, from SUVs perfect for driving through hordes of zombies to speedy sports cars that can facilitate a quick getaway when running is the best option.
