Passenger cars are on the extinction list in the age of crossovers, SUVs, and trucks. That's a shame, especially when you know that feisty two-door coupes are now a dying breed.
Just think about it – last December, two more nameplates went to car Valhalla and may never return: Chevrolet's sixth-generation Camaro and the L-bodied Dodge Challenger. If we consider their US performances, others are selling worse than some Rolls-Royce models, such as the Toyota GR Supra and Nissan Z. Thus, are we surprised that some consider the Ford Mustang to be among 'the last of us?'
Anyway, these considerations only apply in the real world because, across the imaginative realm of digital car content creators, we have seen that pixel masters really don't care that folks have stopped buying coupes, minivans, or station wagons. Instead, some of them dream of making all of them great again. For example, if we want to talk about two-door wonders, a couple of CGI experts recently gave us some digital food for thought with their interpretations of the iconic Nissan GT-R and the two-door variant of the Genesis G70 sedan.
First, David Scott Neal II, a Senior Industrial Designer at Modus Applied Innovations and the pixel master behind nemojunglist, has a new and futuristic vision of the R36 Nissan GT-R. The current model, updated for the 2024 model year, saw a surge of interest last year in America, so it is only natural that a lot of people want to understand what's coming a little ahead of time, if possible.
His R36 Nissan GT-R concept is an amalgamation of several unnamed concepts and features the same iconic profile as its official predecessor. At the same time, everything else is updated – we can see that slim LEDs adorn the front, pixel LEDs form the taillights, and swanky aero wheels cover the impressive brakes. Last but not least, this is one fast GT-R, given the streamlined wing at the rear. So, do you like it, or is it too futuristic for your tastes?
Secondly, the Korean automotive artwork hero behind the lba_photoshop moniker on social media has decided that Genesis' four-door compact executive G70 sedan needs a bit of tuning as the recent facelift made it way too ritzy. The model, introduced in 2017 and updated for the 2022 model year, is related to the Kia Stinger but doesn't look the part, thanks to Genesis' signature styling.
Now, with help from a few CGI brush strokes, it's also a nimble two-door coupe packing additional tuning elements like a set of mesh grilles up front, beefier brakes, larger aftermarket-style wheels, a few aerodynamic add-ons, and, most importantly, larger 'hips' at the rear. So, would you buy a Genesis G70 Coupe if they made it available alongside the sedan and Shooting Brake?
