It's not just the cast that's getting a major shake-up in the Ghostbusters reboot; the crew's transports are getting a fresh coat of paint as well. We've seen the iconic ambulance-hearse combo the Ecto-1, but the ladies now in charge of cleaning the supernatural sewers of New York also have a more agile counterpart. Meet the Ecto-2:
It may not look like much at first glance, but I'd say that's kind of the point. The Ghostbusters were never a well-funded joint, and their gear reflected their nature as the equivalent of a garage band.

Judging by this tweet from Lego, it could be the ride Chris Hemsworth's character uses. Now, where's that trailer we're all waiting for so we can see it and the rest of the new 'busters in action?
Directed by Paul Feig and starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth, Ghostbusters opens in UK and US cinemas on July 15, 2016.
