Lots of classic car fans now go down the ample route of restomods in the real world. The virtual realm, meanwhile, is currently taking a flipped approach.
Just like Lamborghini did with its reinvention of the 2022 Countach, some automotive pixel masters love to play with the latest and hottest releases by instilling them with a vintage look. Heritage is always important, of course, and – after all – the imagination land knows no virtual boundaries.
One of the most prolific “neo-retro” digital content creators is Siim Parn, the virtual designer behind the spdesignsest account on social media. He usually cooks up CGI transformations of hot new cars that could easily be described as advanced, retro, and versatile once he’s done with them. Some can even be categorized as darn right beautiful.
The most recent example comes in the form of yet another 2023 Nissan Z morphing. After the pixel master allowed us to witness how the Z32 Nissan 300ZX traveled forward some decades inside the body of the all-new Z Car, now it’s time to delve even further down the aisles of time. Right to the moment when the final S30 iteration – the Datsun 280Z – was making its way onto the North American market (1975).
This was the last Z Car that didn’t sport a Nissan designation but that’s of little relevance here – this creation remains a 2023 Nissan Z at its core. Only the design soul has been borrowed from the past and we can say all the styling details add up to complete a thoroughly vintage picture.
Actually, with these CGI experts, it’s always a seemingly never-ending process of creation. So, the pixel master has cooked up a trio of different versions for this vintage-modern sports car project. Although, to be frank, we’re only given a single – traditional – front three-quarters point-of-view. Still, it might be more than enough to get us hooked on.
