The cars uploaded by @darkside.ai look outstanding. They’d be better only if the characters themselves were behind the wheels so that fans could see how powerful these vehicles truly are. And they’d serve as stellar inspiration for an updated version of “Motor Kombat,” a minigame included in 2006’s “Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.” It’s basically a “Mario Kart” duplicate where the characters ride go-karts that are also based on their styles and various fatalities. Perhaps a new version could see them ride luxury vehicles around that get totally thrashed by the end of a race.
We’d even settle for a car like one of these popping up in “Mortal Kombat 2,” the follow-up to 2021’s rebooted “Mortal Kombat.” It sure would be great if Johnny Cage, to be played by Karl Urban, pulled up to a fight in a ride reminiscent of what we see from @darkside.ai and worthy of a movie star like him. Ultimately, fans seem to love the AI creations, with @antoineeverette0 commenting, “All those cars are badass, just [can’t] pick one.”
While these rides remain in a world of fantasy right now, one Mortal Kombat fan brought the concept into real life. In 2021, Laredo Morning Times reported that someone in the Austin, Texas, area was driving around in a gloriously remodeled Mortal Kombat vehicle with the franchise’s logo on the door while words like “fatality” and “finish him” were featured on the body. Now, that’s some serious dedication.
