Hyundai
is getting in on the incessant zombie trend with an actual concept car
designed to mow down the fearsome hordes of undead brain suckers. It's
called the Zombie Survival Machine, and it looks exactly like what it
sounds like. Hyundai has partnered with Robert Kirkman, creator of the
famed comic book and graphic novelThe Walking Dead, in building the concept for Comic-Con.
"I don't know a lot about cars, but I do know a lot about the zombie
apocalypse and what I would like to have to survive," Kirkman explains
in the video below. "I think that I'll be able to come up with something
that looks cool, but may not be very practical or effective, because
I'm not good with physics and things like that."
Survive the apocalypse with Hyundai
Helping keep the car as practical and effective as a zombie-survival
mobile can ever be are Hyundai and Design Craft Fabrication. The design
includes such customized features as a custom zombie plow with spikes,
slatted armored window coverings, a roof hatch to allow passengers to
shoot at walkers, an electric rear trunk to house weapons, all‐terrain
tires, weapons storage compartments and a CB radio/PA system. Hyundai
also promises much more.
While the Hyundai Elantra probably wouldn't be the first car you'd think
of as an armored tool of undead destruction, Hyundai has done a pretty
good job in fleshing this thing out. The undead don't stand a chance.
Below you can see the first in a four-part series on the Zombie Survival
Machine's development. Kirkland explains his role in the project.
Hyundai has launched Hyundaiundead.com, where you can follow along with
future installments. It will debut the concept car on the July 11
preview night at Future US's booth at Comic-Con. Comic-Con runs from
July 12 to 15 in San Diego.
We'll go ahead and say this one won't make production.
