Need an art car? The Mad Max Fury Road fleet is up for auction, and wow, the used car market is hot, hot, hot!
I love the aptly-named “GigaHorse” with the Tesla badges sewn into the dash. From Rudi Tuisk who worked on the cars, and put the Tesla logos in: “Bit of guerrilla marketing placement circa November 2011! How could a film about the end of oil not have some Tesla placement.. :?) What you gunna do when there is no oil other than collect solar energy and shoot off over the horizon to safety in your electric super car?? These are placed on the hero vehicles dash front center and proud.”
“The vehicles are an extension of the characters. The GIGAHORSE is the throne. It has to be the biggest vehicle.” — Director George Miller, vehicle video overview: https://youtu.be/Zgkawcew2u8?t=87
The Mad Max series is a moralizing tale of the non-EV future… The opening newscast from the trailer: “Everything is dependent on oil. They are killing for gasoline.” http://youtu.be/YWNWi-ZWL3c?t=10s
I think the DEATHGUILD camp should be natural curator of these cultural icons: https://flic.kr/p/d3WLcy
