As the Plymouth brand reaches two decades of market absence (it was axed back in 2001), more and more aficionados seem to lust for wonderful creations like the Barracuda. As such, the Internet replies with the help of renderings like the one we have here, which portrays a modern-day Cuda (the performance incarnation of the said model).
The inspiration for this model is obviously the third-gen model everybody loves so much - unlike its predecessors, which shared Plymouth's A-body with the Valiant and were basically replaced by the 1970 Plymouth Duster, this model, which also showed up for the 1970 model year, was based on the E-body derivative of Chrysler's B platform. These underpinnings were shared with the Dodge Challenger, albeit with each muscle car receiving dedicated styling.
Fortunately, the Challenger was resurrected back in 2008 and while the model found in showrooms these days is the same generation, the tons of upgrades it has received meanwhile are a sheer joy. Which brings us to the latest incarnation of the modern Challenger, namely the Hellcat Redeye.
The Redeye served as the starting point for this Cuda rendering, which, given the Dodge's 797 horsepower, seems only fitting.
Perhaps the non-Widebody incarnation of this Challenger would've made for a more accurate portrayal of the classic. Then again, given the dynamic assets brought by the meatier tires, which range from handling aspects to drag racing starts, we can't complain about the factory widebody.
And while we’re talking about Mopar toys, you should know there is a future for Dodge muscle cars. We have no timeline for now, but it looks like the Charger and Challenger will soldier on until 2023 – here’s a hint of what the next generation of such machines will look like.
Digital label tuningcarps completed the transformation, with this being performed on a smartphone rather than a computer, which says something about the sharpness of the current rendering realm.
