Given the ever-increasing popularity of the Dodge Challenger, one can only wonder about what can be done in terms of coming up with a fresh custom take on the Mopar machine. And the rendering we have here looks to the past for an answer.
Timothy Adry Emmanuel, the digital artist behind this effort, has come up with quite a few pixel paintings portraying muscle cars, but this hasn't stopped him from bringing a different approach to us. So let's take a bit of time to zoom in on this pixel-augmented slab of America, shall we?

The headline custom feature of this Hellcat is the blower hat. Of course, since we're talking about a modern engine, such a feature would have to be connected to the engine compartment-placed air intake of the HEMI, as, for instance, it is the case with the Shaker specials of the Challenger.

At the other end of the suck-squeeze-bang-blow chain, we find a side exhaust, with the massive trapezoidal tips leaving the vehicle just ahead of the rear wheels. And, if we consider the factory widebody of the big coupe, the eye candy is complete.

Those arches are filled by custom wheels and we're dealing with a two-tone finish that acts as an attention magnet. Keep in mind that the ride height has been reduced and, judging by what we can see in the rendering, we're dealing with an air suspension (by the way, the #bagged community is hard at work these days, having recently delivered the first C8 Chevrolet Corvette of the sort).

Speaking of stock bits, we must also mention the more generous front splitter, which comes from the now-retired Demon incarnation of the Challenger.

PS: Make sure to use the swipe feature of the Instagram post below for the complete eye candy buffet.
