South Korean automaker Hyundai has unveiled the fan-designed Zombie Survival Machine at the 2013 Comic-Con in New York City. The new “zombie-mobile”, which follows last year’s Elantra Coupe apocalypse car, was envision by Anson Kuo and built by Galpin Auto Sports around a Santa Fe SUV.
Sporting an stealthy urban camouflage, the vehicle is ready to slice and cut through any zombie that might want to take over the world thanks to its impressive arsenal that features knife blades, an automatic crossbow, razor-wired windows. three machine guns and a samurai sword. Protection is provided by an aluminum armor, while a muffler silencer makes the Santa Fe one sneaky zombie butcher.
"My main design goal was to make the vehicle as stealthy and spacious as possible," said Anson Kuo. "I knew knives and blades would be the best bet for weaponry - they could slice and dice the zombies without releasing any ammunition. Basing the design on the Santa Fe allows space for extra passengers as well as weapons, supplies and all the other necessary items needed during a real zombie apocalypse."
Kuo’s design was picked as the winner out of more than 82,500 fan submissions on Hyundai’s Walking Dead Chop Shop configurator app.
