"Ghostbusters 3" director Paul Feig is on a roll with the updates. After posting a photo of the team's uniform and their handy-dandy proton pack, Feig now lets fans in on what the girls will be riding when busting evil ghosts and ghoulies.

The newest "Ghostbusters" movie will feature an all-female cast to fill in the shoes of the iconic team, which originally consisted of Peter, Ray, Egon, and Winston. While the cast experienced a total revamp, the new "Ghostbusters" is keeping their Ectomobile, or fondly called as the Ecto-1. The movie director teased fans and tweeted a picture of the new Ecto-1, captioning it as "#whattheygonnadrive."

The original Ecto-1 was a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor and the new one looks a whole like that as well. The Verge, however, notes that the reboot version looks a bit boxier than the first Ghostbusters transportation. It also points out some notable changes and similarities. The new Ecto-1 no longer have tail fins but the side ladder and set of sirens and lights remain intact. It also retained the antennae, assumed to function as a ghost detector.

The "Ghostbusters 3" Ecto-1 is painted white and sort of a toned down red and has the Ghostbusters logo on each side, as well as on the back.The all-female Ghostbusters will be comprised of Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Kristen Wiig. They will also have a male secretary played by Chris Hemsworth. Their main villain has also been recently cast and it will be "Saturday Night Live's" writer, Neil Casey.

The Verge also reports that Andy Garcia, Michael K. Williams, and Matt Walsh are all on-board as the New York City mayor, Hawkins, and Rourke, respectively. No word yet on the plot and twists, as well as the names of the main characters — which is all-good as the movie is not set for release for another year.

"Ghostbusters 3" is slated to hit theaters on July 22, 2016.
