While iconic models like the Batmobile or Ecto-1 From Ghostbusters would make the ultimate Halloween transportation, these models are unfortunately not available to mere mortals.
However there are many models on the market today that are well suited for Halloween duty and if you need a car to go with your Halloween costume these five options will do the trick…or treat?
Hyundai Staria
A hearse always makes for good Halloween transport but getting your hands on a real one will require a good contact at a funeral parlour. However, the Hyundai Staria could easily pass for a corpse carrying vessel with its stealthy space age styling and blacked out windows. Another bonus is that the Staria can seat up to 11 people, in the upright position, while still having space for costume accessories and the candy haul, making it the ideal vehicle for a late-night trick or treat mission.
A supercar for a superhero
Dressing up as superhero this Halloween has its advantages but does also mean that you will need a supercar to match.
One of the most iconic supercars is the Lamborghini Huracan, and it will ensure that you make a visual and aural entrance wherever you go. The Lamborghini Huracan is powered by a V10 engine that produces up to 470kW and 565Nm, allowing it to sprint from standstill to 100km/h in around three seconds meaning that it also has the go to match the show.
Rolls Royce Ghost
Is there a car more perfect for Halloween than one named the Ghost? You will need to be extremely well off to have one of these at your disposal, but it would make a pretty awesome trick or treat ride.
The Rolls-Royce Ghost is a large sedan swathed in the world’s best interior materials and finishes. Just like a real ghost this car glides. An innovative system uses GPS and camera technology to scan the road ahead for imperfections and turns, ensuring the smoothest ride possible.
The Rolls Royce Ghost has a powerful V12 engine under the bonnet but is best driven sedately, like a limousine, making it perfect for transporting costumed party goers or trick or treaters. You will also need someone to dress up as a chauffeur.
Arachnophobia
One of the most common fears amongst the population is arachnophobia or the fear of spiders and for good reason. If you are looking to strike fear into passengers or passers-by, a two dour drop top named after these furry eight-legged creatures might be just what you need.
The Porsche 718 Spyder is the Germans brands sporty compact two dour convertible. That being said it is fitted with a 4.0 litre, six-cylinder engine that offers 309kW and 420Nm ensuring hair raising performance.
In fact, experts believe that the 718 Spyder is the true spiritual successor to the iconic 911, as it continues the recipe of a lightweight, nimble chassis with astonishing rear wheel drive power in a world where cars are getting bigger every year. The 718 Spyder is small and venomous just like the little creatures that inspire its name.
Ford Ranger Raptor
There is not much that is scarier than a bird that can swoop on its prey from the sky like a Raptor can, squashing it with its mighty claws while it flies high in the sky. The Ford Ranger Raptor that takes its name from this ferocious creature is also one of the most menacing vehicles on the road. With wide bodywork that covers a wide track and beefy tyres, a menacing stance and a grille that means business it will fill any rear-view mirror with fear. Add to that the bark of the exhaust in Baja mode and you get a bakkie that will go perfectly with a wide variety of Halloween costumes
