Are you looking for a zombie bashing machine? If so, pencil in a trip to the Atlanta Auto Show.

The Atlanta International Auto Show returns to the Georgia World Congress Center March 26-30.

Hyundai brings in a treat for fans of The Walking Dead. The automaker plans to showcase a customized Hyundai Elantra coupe Zombie Survival Machine. Designed by The Walking Dead comic book creator/writer Robert Kirkman and fabricated by Design Craft, it 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.
