Although crowds gathered around new reveals akin to the 2014 Toyota Tundra, or not-so-new-anymore cars just like the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, oddball cars parked within the nooks and crannies of the show-floor drew in smaller crowds with their weird appeal. Below are a couple of weird cars we saw up in Chi Town.

Based off a personality in a brand new DreamWorks movie popping out this summer, the 2013 Turbo Camaro Coupe is pure exaggeration. Outfitted with lower rockers, fender flares, front splitter, and rear diffuser, the black Camaro coupe wears a vinyl chrome wrap that’s tinted dark to search like black chrome. Custom front LED lights illuminate in numerous colors, and large black wheels add much more impact, with the fronts measuring 24 by 10 inches, and the rear wheels 24 by 15 inches. Powering the beast is a supercharged V-8 that puts out north of a claimed 700 hp. Other features include a custom intake assembly for supercharger housing and a custom COPO hood assembly. Around back, rear exhaust pipes are five inches in diameter, while a tremendous GT concept rear wing spoiler blocks any kind of rear visibility (we suppose).

The Camaros didn’t stop there, because the 2013 Camaro Hot Wheels Special Edition that first appeared at SEMA gleamed in a colourful metallic blue paint and red-lined wheels. Available early this year, consumers pick their poison between 2LT V-6 and 2SS V-8 Camaro coupes and convertibles. The special-edition car contains a ZL1 rear spoiler on coupes, ZL1 front upper grille on both body styles, a ground effects package, black 21-inch wheels, fender flame graphics, Hot Wheels grille, and decklid logos. Inside, red-and-black seat stitching and the recent Wheels logo are embroidered at the leather-trimmed front seat, and Hot Wheels Edition flame decals are affixed to the doors.

Promoting a brand new show called “Defiance” at the Syfy channel was a weathered Dodge Charger has seen better days. Equipped with a grille guard, window bars, and  big truck tires, the sedan screams “wash me.” There weren’t many details at the Charger, but you can find more when the series premieres on SyFy in April.

Trampling over dead zombies, the 2013 Hyundai Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine also blew into the Windy City from Comic-Con. Modifications include a spiked, zombie plow cow catcher up front, slatted armored window coverings, and a sunroof hatch cage to shoot at zombies. An electrical rear trunk allows easy accessibility to weapons, while a CB radio/PA system is used to speak with others. Chunky offroad tires allow for go-anywhere access.
