Throw all the Lamborghinis and Porsches at me you’re able to muster, and I still won’t flinch in this belief: the Ecto-1 is the coolest car on the planet. It’s janky yet jovial, sports my favorite color scheme, and doubles for the storage of the not-quite undead. Looks will never outweight functionality, at least not for this wry four-wheeler.
The Ecto-1 will tour to promote the upcoming Sierra titleGhostbusters: The Video Gameand will hit several prime locations, including the Penny Arcade Expo this August ( I fully expect a Destructoid group shot around the vehicle by the time the weekend has wound to a close). Check out the Ecto-1’s hectic schedule:
June 21 – Nightshift New York (Belmont Raceway; New York, NY)August 9 – Nightshift Pomona (Pomona Fairplex; Pomona, CA)August 29-31 – Penny Arcade Expo (Seattle Conv. Ctr; Seattle, WA)Sept. 20 – Nightshift Pleasanton (Alameda Fairgrounds; Pleasanton, CA)Sept. 27 – Hot Import Nights (Minneapolis Conv. Ctr; Minneapolis, MN)Oct. 11 – Hot Import Nights (Dallas Conv. Ctr; Dallas, TX)Oct. 15 – Nov. 1 – Knott’s Scary Farm (Knott’s Berry Farm; Buena Park, CA)Nov. 19-30 – L.A. Auto Show (L.A. Conv. Ctr; Los Angeles, CA)
Unsurprisingly, a little pimping has been administered to bring the legendary vehicle up to speed. Sony has souped it up with a full line of their Xplod mobile electronics (check the details after the jump if you’re curious about the details). I can’t wait to see it in person — just looking at it makes me want to rewatch the movie.
