Modern GMC Yukon GT Packs Lambo Doors and Front-Hinged Engine Hood CGI Magic

General Motors SUV enthusiasts of yesteryear (aka the early 1990s) might remember that, back when GMC switched from Jimmy to Yukon monikers, it also had a remarkably interesting, sportier proposal.

While Chevrolet was still calling its full-size, truck-based SUV by the legendary K5 Blazer name, GMC was ready to move on into an all-new territory of transforming the “experience of highway cruising and off-road exploring.” And one of the early favorites among the variety of Yukons was the slightly monochromatic, 5.7-liter V8-equipped Yukon GT.

Sure, it might not have the same legendary cult following as the 1992-1993 Typhoon, but it was also nothing to be ashamed of when flaunting 210 horsepower and 300 lb. ft. of torque, plus the option of a manual transmission – a rarity among today’s SUVs or even passenger cars. But why are we telling you all that when you can just watch Brian Mello’s YouTube episode on the matter?

Well, simply because the video embedded below is now also accompanied by a wishful thinking, modern fifth-generation GMC Yukon GT. And it not only comes with the iconic GMT400’s two-door body style but also flaunts a few crazy additions that will make the day of any diehard automotive enthusiast, not just of those passioned about crossovers, SUVs, and trucks.

So, here’s Oscar Vargas, the virtual artist better known as wb.artist20 on social media, taking center stage. The pixel master has recently provided us with a half-crazy, half-astonishing new (GMT1YC) GMC Yukon GT and it is truly the one to remember, as it hypothetically comes complete with Lambo-style doors, as well as a front-hinged engine hood.

And do not even try to discard it while laughing out loud because the CGI expert has perfectly reasonable explanations for both additions. “Yes, Lambo-inspired doors serve a purpose for tighter parking and blind spots and the hood is less likely to fly off at high speeds when hinged in the front, so why not toss them on this bad boy?
