HYUNDAI AND THE WALKING DEAD CREATOR/WRITER ROBERT KIRKMAN UNVEIL ZOMBIE SURVIVAL MACHINE AT COMIC-CON
COSTA MESA, Calif., July 12, 2012 – Much to the dismay of zombies around the world, a Zombie Survival Machine was unveiled last night at San Diego's Comic-Con. The customized Hyundai Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine, designed by The Walking Dead creator/writer Robert Kirkman and fabricated by Design Craft, was revealed on the Comic-Con floor at the Future US booth.
Hyundai's Zombie Survival Machine showcases modifications including: a front-end custom zombie plow with spikes, armored window coverings, a roof hatch to allow passengers to fend off attacking walkers, a trunk full of electric and pneumatic weaponry, front and back end floodlights, spiked all-terrain/rally type tires, a CB radio system and much more. Fans can view a series of behind-the-scenes videos that detail the creation of the Zombie Survival Machine and showcase the car build from start to finish at HyundaiUndead.com and on Skybound.com
"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, Hyundai Motor America. "We are excited for fans to come and experience the Elantra Coupe and GT in a unique, post-apocalyptic way."
The Hyundai Undead program celebrates the release of the 100th issue of The Walking Dead comic. In addition to the Zombie Survival Machine, Kirkman, Skybound and Hyundai also created a Hyundai Elantra GT wrapped in the cover of The Walking Dead 100th issue by artist Charlie Adlard. All of these events will be celebrated at the private The Walking Dead 100th Issue VIP Black Carpet Event on July 13.
Robert Kirkman's Eisner Award-winning comic and best-selling graphic novels, The Walking Dead are the talk of Comic-Con already. "Working with Hyundai on this Zombie Survival Machine was a total blast and I am excited to share this stunning vehicle with all the fans," said Kirkman.
Comic-Con attendees will be able to take pictures with the Zombie Survival Machine at the Future US booth, and get inside the vehicle to check out all of the features, including a limited run illustrated owner's manual that walks drivers through the machine's unique features and prepares them for the gruesome realities of the zombie apocalypse. The booth will also feature a Zombie Target practice area and a zombie costume contest.

Where do you find this stuff? Keep it up!
I heard that there will be another version for 2013. Hyundai Zombie fans will be glad if it's true. Zombie fans have waited months for the new season of "The Walking Dead" to begin. It is now here on AMC and, appropriately, Halloween is also getting close. That makes it a fantastic time to revisit Robert Kirkman's Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine that was first seen at the San Diego Comic Con over the summer season.

sorry not trying to pick a fight?,. just never seen why covering a license plate did anything?,.. any one deviant enough to want to locate me can do that quite simply other ways?,..
..... and if SHTF the DMV 'putters would be down and couldn't track me that way LOL!
No worries.... "..... and if SHTF the DMV 'putters would be down and couldn't track me that way LOL!" People who.. if they had a mind to... could track you with DMV beforehand and just know where to find "stuff"... if the shtf... looking at the longer term is all.
Have a great one and look forward to your posts....

LOL!,... the trick is beating me to my shop and getting it when they need it?,. My business is from home base and I have a survivalist border in my basement who uses my shop most days and we're both gun owners, and medium duty preppers,...
.... it would be like an Elk attacking a Lion pride?!?!,... way easier pray in times of crisis?

The correct response should have been THANK YOU for your suggestion but I don't believe it to be necessary.

The DMV are not the only one's who can track vehicles, police and private investigators along with a whole bunch of other people can track down someone by their license plate. your License plate is registered to your vehicle, your vehicle with said license plate is registered under your name... need there be more? i work in the security industry and I agree with the others, you should cover up that license plate and fast. I know P.I.'s who could have all your information in a day or two just from that license plate number.I say this because i know people are capable of this and there are people who will do this if they believe they will come out on top from doing so, again I'm just saying this for your own good, cover it up so people can't track it. You may be a brute of a man, heck I'm a big guy myself, but aside being armed with a gun at all times (who does that?) there isn't much you can do when buddy and his 8 friends come to collect after staking you out and planning a robbery/armed robbery. Because people don't have to wait till shtf to strike, they think hey nice jeep, nice modifications, nice 4 grand in my pocket.
Protect yourself by keeping as little information about you on the net as possible! and on a final note i would just like to say that's a kick ass jeep! lol cheers!
