Two very impressive pixel masters from the CGI automotive corner are fighting for our undivided attention or jealousy - UK's Al Yasid and America's Musa Rio Tjahjono. So, who will prevail?
Sometimes, the automotive world is not wide enough to include every dream of its fans. That's when the imaginative realm of digital car content creators usually intervenes – sometimes with a positive outcome and other times with a very negative result. Hopefully, these two design projects are part of the roster of former ideas. Either way, they sure stand out in any (digital) crowd.
First things first, London, United Kingdom-based Al Yasid (better known as al.yasid on social media) has decided to bring back from distant CGI memory an idea he cooked a few years ago because he loves "obscenely wide fender flares." Well, he does so, at least while he finishes with "current clients and pending projects."
More precisely, we are looking at a sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro SS that went through a 'classic' aftermarket JDM-style transformation – it rides closer to the ground on massive deep dish aftermarket wheels, has a contrasting aerodynamic body kit made out of carbon fiber, and also gets those "obscenely wide fender flares" we mentioned above. Plus, it's a Convertible, so it looks even more planted on the ground than its coupe sibling!
Secondly, if you thought that it's curious a UK designer would work on an epitome of American muscle cars, here's also an American pixel master (Musa Rio Tjahjono, aka musartwork, the head designer at West Coast Customs) playing with a British-born ultra-luxury crossover SUV, the popular Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The 'banana yellow' is even more poignant here as the Black Badge is glossy yellow rather than matte. Still, the contrast is the same – the slammed 'Big Bird' atmosphere is mixed with a forged carbon fiber aerodynamic body kit, and the concave aftermarket wheels are also black with contrasting yellow brake calipers tucked behind them.
Now, it's time to choose a favorite, of course. For that, keep in mind that if you envision this possible in the real world, it's potentially going to be just as hard securing a Chevy Camaro 'Vert as it is buying a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, albeit for vastly different reasons – the former has been out of production since December 2023, and you'll need to find some left-over inventory to secure an example while the latter costs around $500k to buy new. Alas, where there is desire, there is always a solution. Also, keep in mind that Rolls-Royce will soon introduce the world to the refreshed Cullinan, which could borrow design cues from the Spectre all-electric grand tourer.
