Before The Walking Dead was a hit AMC TV show, it was a beloved comic – one that is still being written. In honor of the comic's 100th issue, Hyundai<\/a> got together with creator Robert Kirkman to design a special edition Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine. The real-life car, based on a concept created by Kirkman, will be unveiled at the San Diego Comic-Con next month.<\/p>\n

The sketches, which were leaked by AutoBlog, are based on the Elantra, but Kirkman added a few zombie-killing features including barred windows and lights and an undead-impaling spiked plow that make the car look like it came from beyond Thunderdome. In addition to showing off the post-apocalyptic vehicle, Hyundai will be giving away an Elantra GT covered with a vinyl rendition of the cover of issue 100, which was drawn by Charlie Adlard.<\/p>\n

"I had a good experience working with Hyundai and Future US last year, and I thought it would be totally awesome if a fan of the comic were able to win a great new car made even cooler with Charlie's artwork," said Kirkman. "Designing the Zombie Survival Machine was just the icing on the cake. I'm very excited to see the amazing job they are doing in turning my doodles and ideas into a truly awesome car. I hope they will let me do a test drive before Comic Con!"<\/p>\n

Drivers who want to find used cars in NJ that will be suited for the zombie apocalypse can head to NJ Auto Auction<\/a>. The dealer has a variety of makes and models to choose from, and each is CARFAX certified, so car shoppers know they'll have a reliable ride to help them escape the hordes should the dead ever walk the earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
