Kia Motors, which previously partnered with DC Entertainment for a line of Justice League-themed Optimas, is now sinking its claws into Wolverine. Or rather, Wolverine is sinking his claws into a Kia.

The Korean automaker has produced a one-off Sorento that brandishes the popular antihero's signature claws -- and claw marks -- to help promote the Blu-ray and DVD release of Fox's X-Men: Days of Future Past in Australia. The car also will be displayed in January at Melbourne Park for the duration of the Australian Open, which is sponsored by Kia.

The company plans to release a video in mid-December in which tennis player Rafael Nadal teams with the X-Men to battle Sentinels threatening the Australian Open. The "Kia X-Car" will play a pivotal role, naturally.
