Hyundai Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine Makes Comic-Con Debut
Hyundai showed off its Elantra-based Zombie Survival Machine at this year's Comic-Con.

The coupe was penned by none other than Robert Kirkman, the creator of the now-famous The Walking Dead series and features a spike-laden cow-catcher plow up front. Aggressive spiked-tires, armored windows and plenty of lighting also help set this Elantra Coupe apart from the more pedestrian production models. Hyundai partnered up with Kirkman to celebrate the 100th issue of The Walking Dead comic, and the duo turned to Design Craft for the actual fabrication. That's neat and all, but the Korean automaker went the extra mile for Comic-Con goers.

Visitors to the automaker's booth could slip inside to have their photos taken, and limited-edition illustrated "owner's manuals" were also on hand to detail exactly how each of the Coupe's features could be used to thwart walkers.
