With velocity fans wondering what will happen to muscle cars in the upcoming EV era (GM has pledged to become an all-electric carmaker by 2035, while Bentley plans to do so by the end of this decade), digital artists are doing their part in the fight to keep this wonderful genre under the spotlights. Case in point with the rendering sitting before us, which takes a classic Dodge Challenger down the restomod path, hence the nickname in the title.
This 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, the original model, was gifted with the type of aero updates you'd expect to see on a modern muscle car aiming to dominate social media.
So, if we take a peek at what's happening south of the front bumper, which is still in place, albeit without the chrome finish, we'll come across massive aero hardware that's linked to the also-super-sized overfenders. Speaking of the latter, the front and the rear bits are linked by airflow-manipulating side skirt extensions.
The downforce work seems to reach maximum intensity at the back, where we find a diffuser that looks like it means business, with this integrating.
And it looks like we can't ignore the elephant (not the Hellephant, that is a different story) in the rendering any longer.
We're obviously talking about the monstrous blower sitting above the hood, with its hat being generous enough to act as an attention magnet on its own. And, not unlike some real builds we've recently discussed, this pixel proposal makes heavy use of carbon.
Judging by the microscopic gap between the lips of the custom wheels and the overfenders, we're dealing with air springs, so it shouldn't surprise you to see the Mopar machine almost touching whatever surface the digital artist behind the work places underneath it.
Speaking of which, we must thank pixel master Timothy Adry Emmanuel for this piece. Oh, and if you feel the work is extreme, you should check out the Duesenberg hot rod he recently created, which might just be a first, even for the virtual world.
