This outlandish vehicle is built to withstand some serious end of the world hardship, and the premiere of this death-proof vehicle was at Comic Con in San Diego. The offbeat vehicle is probably going to catch the attention of those who have already built bomb shelters and have years supplies of food on hand. This is definitely a car that’s well-prepared for the possibility of the dead creeping back up. According to [Uncrate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Porsche-911-carrera), the features of the car include everything from a "custom zombie plow" to "armored window coverings." Owners of this car will be laughing at the site of a zombie. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Zombie-proof Vehicles:** The creation of a zombie-proof car by Hyundai shows a trend of designing and producing vehicles that can withstand extreme circumstances. - **Survivalist Accessories:** The inclusion of custom built accessories such as a 'zombie plow' in the Hyundai Zombie Survival Car highlights the trend of manufacturing products targeted towards survivalist consumers. - **Outlandish Vehicle Design:** The Hyundai Zombie Survival Car's unique design and features indicates a trend of creating vehicles with unusual and adventurous concepts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The collaboration between The Walking Dead and Hyundai to design the Hyundai Zombie Survival Car signifies the need for car manufacturers to produce vehicles with unique features and designs to stand out in the automotive industry. - **Entertainment:** The Hyundai Zombie Survival Car debut at Comic Con in San Diego highlights the industry of entertainment as a strategic partner for the automotive industry to attract new customers and gain more visibility. - **Prepper/survivalist:** The design and construction of the Hyundai Zombie Survival Car presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the prepper/survivalist industry by developing more versatile and comprehensive survival gear and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Road-Ready Dune Buggy Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fordzilla-hypervan.md) - [Post-Apocalyptic Off-Road Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delorean-omega-2040-concept.md) - [Angular Otherworldly Off-Road SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-crater-concept.md) - [Aggressive Overlanding-Ready SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-santa-fe-xrt-concept.md) - [Utilitarian Electric Four-Wheel Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utv.md) - [Aggressive Safety-Focused SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rezvani-vengeance.md) - [Ultra-Tactical Next-Gen SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-rezvani-tank.md) - [Armored Tactical SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-rezvani.md) - [Hygienic Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-seven.md)
