With 90s remixes still being extremely popular, one has to ask: what would be the automotive equivalent of such a track? Well, the rendering we have here, which portrays a 2020 Toyota Supra with the face of its predecessor, might just fit the bill.
The rendering realm enjoys more traction than ever these days, but this side of the world wide web has now reached a level where most creations that draw attention come in 3D form. This isn't the case with the pixel portrait in front of us, but the image works just fine.

For one, the work, which comes from digital label spdesignest, gives the previous incarnation of the Japanese sportscar a modern touch. And, given all the aftermarket love the Mk IV Supra already enjoys, the digital update works like a charm.

Nevertheless, we mustn’t forget this is an Mk V with a remastered Mk IV front end. And with quite a few gearheads feeling that the production 2020 Supra isn't as sharp-looking as the FT-1 concept that previewed it, a chance may be welcome.

Besides, a shenanigan such as the one we have here should take the symbiotic relationship between the two iterations of the Supra even further. For the record, the Mk V was born to be tuned, with Toyota having paid attention to the uber-solid reputation the Mk IV had gained, thanks in no small part to its tuning-friendly 2JZ motor.

Now, all the above could probably work as arguments in favor of an aftermarket specialist developing such a conversion in real life. This would obviously have to involve workarounds for various matters, such as the fact that the current car is slightly wider than the one it replaces. And since we’re talking modding, that aspect could probably be addressed by a basic widebody approach. Well, given the serious appetite for 2020 Toyota Supra customization, we might just see it happening.

Update:The posterior of this Mk 4.5 Toyota Supra has landed and you can check it out in the second Instagram post below.
