With social media giving digital artists an extra pair of wings, we can enjoy totally unexpected pixel shenanigans these days. And the performance pickup truck stunt sitting before us is an example as good as any - in case you happen to identify as a purist, you'd better be prepared, since we're talking about a pair of renderings throwing the Ford F-150 Raptor, the Dodge Challenger Hellcat and the... Nissan Skyline GT-R into the blender.
We're dealing with face swaps, a type of edit that has turned into a trend. And we'll start with the Mopar-ized Raptor - while Hellcat crate engines have landed in all sorts of machines, we have yet to see one powering the range-topping F-150. However, the digital stunt we have here places the upper front fascia of the muscle coupe on the pickup truck.

No, you're not the only one who's ready to label the integration as "smooth" and that's probably because both the retro-styled coupe and the power truck feature rather simple styling cues. Of course, extra visual delights, such as the door mirrors and the Demon hood scoop also help.

As for the second rendering, this uses the same base, albeit with a quite different impersonation - as you've guessed by now, this is where the R34 GT-R steps onto the stage, all set for... a different type of AWD action.

The design link mentioned above is also true for this face swap and we must also consider that blue is a representative color for both animals.

PS: It could always be just my fantasy, but the Hellcat-ized Raptor only seems to take the anticipation level for the Ram Rebel TRX, the pickup truck that will feature a Hellcat from the factory - despite the delay caused by the current health crisis, the go-fast bed wielder might still land next month.
