These days, the original Volkswagen Golf GTI is more popular than ever, not least thanks to being credited for making the hot hatch segment so popular. Of course, this also has what one might call side effects, such as the fact that the slice of Germany is being targeted by the rendering realm.
You know, that corner of the Internet that likes to virtually touch machines up to the point where they hardly stand for what their makers intended.

Let's take the Mk I Golf GTI that brought us here, for instance. This machine has been gifted with all sorts of mods that are uber-popular nowadays.

For one thing, the spicy compact now packs a twin-turbo kit, so it might just be able to keep up with those TT Lambos that keep trying to break the world wide web.

Then there's the widebody kit fitted to the car, which is one of the most elaborate I've seen.

Oh, and let's not forget the microscopic ground clearance, which is probably here thanks to an "air suspension", which should mean that the machine would actually be drivable in the real world.

Now, in case you're experiencing deja vu, this is probably because we're looking at a remastered piece of digital art (here's the original, which we discussed back in March).

Yasid Oozear is the name behind this work. We're talking about a digital artist who apparently lives to challenge norms and conventions.

And the pixel wielder has delivered a brief message along with the render, one that should reflect the state of mind he had when touching up his original work: "Another look at my MK1 Golf GTI kit. That butt still reminds me of a BMW, though. Is that a good thing?"

Well, I'm asking you, dear readers, to be the judge of that...
