Hyundai's Zombie Survival Machine
Hyundai is looking toward the future.
Unfortunately it’s a bleak future, where humanity is on the verge of extinction brought upon by the Zombie Apocalypse, but, hey, you’ve got to plan for everything, right?
The automaker has teamed up with the creator of the “The Walking Dead” comic book series, Robert Kirkman, to create a Zombie Survival Machine based on its new Elantra Coupe, which will be unveiled at San Diego Comic Con on July 11th.
The car was designed by Kirkman who tapped a decade of experience vanquishing zombies to come up with the key protective features of the vehicle. These include a spiked cow catcher for plowing through slow-moving zombie mobs, spinning blades protruding from the wheel hubs, slotted metal plates protecting the windows and a metal fence that pops up around the sunroof opening to create a protected firing position. The car runs on all-terrain rally style tires for high speed driving and has an old-school CB radio to communicate with other survivors.
Talk about safety as a selling point.
Zombie culture has reached apocalyptic levels in recent years, with dozens of best-selling books, a TV version of The Walking Dead, and Brad Pitt’s upcoming film, World War Z on the way. Although we hope that the Zombie Survival Machine will ever need to go into production, an illustrated version of it will appear in the 100th issue of “The Walking Dead,” where Hyundai hopes it will connect with fans and send hordes into its showrooms.

I would get one of those military pieces of equipment that is used to detect tank mines, has that big flaying series of chains on the front. I can build one easily in a couple of days being a hydraulic fabricator.
Next choice would be one of those Caltrans front auger snow removal machines from the Sierra Mountain highways. Overall vehicle must be armored enough from a mass attack, explosion proof windows and an exterior fire suppression system.
Obviously the vehicle must be able to clear a path up front so it must have a means of collection bodies and ejection them either whole or in puree form, then the vehicle should have a strong defense like any outside hatches being polarized with high voltage.
And then there is offensive firepower, I may stay awy from using bullets unless I had no less than four Dillon 134 miniguns at each quarter of said vehicle, ammo weight tends to be problematic so a primary weapons system instead will be a modified multi barrel paintball gun fed from on board air supply, and these won’t be normal paintballs, actually they won’t have any paint.
Contents could be acids, gas, white phosphorus and even napalm. Even ping pong balls filled with hydrogen.
LOL. Perfect tag for the thread, even without a comment.
Painted or not, a quick spray from the can, a dab of what’s available and it’s back in business, ‘shiny’ as ever...no worries!
Especially if you are a member of the Sanhedrin.
Good tagline...
I know one person who refers to the post Crucifixion teachings as Jesus’ zombie phase...

well... i got the Hyundai, now all i need are the bits
I agree. You need something to grind them up and spit them out.
“well... i got the Hyundai, now all i need are the bits”
I have a Hyundai Elantra (4 door). I put a dog seat on the passenger side for my 4 lb. Yorkie. I think she would be a good lookout for approaching Zombies.
Have to ask my Hyundai dealer if they can install those anti-Zombie “bits” on my Elantra.
