It's been a full decade since General Motors put the Pontiac brand to sleep. Fortunately, we've seen multiple third-party revival efforts, with these being based on the fitth-gen and the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. Then again, a muscle car lover can never enjoy too many stunts of the sort. That also applies to renderings like the one we have here, with this portraying a 2021 Trans Am.
As expected, the current sixth-gen Camaro serves as the starting point for this resurrection (this is the 650 hp ZL1 range-topper), but what Trans Am model was chosen as a muse? We're dealing with a second-gen here, the 1979 revision that came only a few years before the third incarnation of the Firebird landed.
While there's no feasible way to disguise the side and the upper half of the "donor car", the Trans Am gets its own identity – no, chopping the top isn’t an option, since the Camaro already trades visibility for aggressive looks.
To be more precise, the revisions target the front and the rear end of the vehicle. Note that the posterior conversion isn't here in its final form, but we'll update this story as soon as the artist delivers the said eye candy.
Then there's the cabin, whose transformation isn't limited to badges, as you'll notice in one of the Instagram posts at the bottom of this story. A real world change of the sort might have to involve just a little extra custom elements, though, but this is another story for another time.
Now, those of you who are tuned into our Speed Tales (there's a tag for that below) might be familiar to this pixel style, which, by the way, comes from smartphone rather than computer editing.
Well, that's because we've shared multiple such transformations coming from a label dubbed Tunnngcarps, with these including revivals such as the Pontiac GTO and, to switch over to Mopar land, the Plymouth Cuda.
Update:The posterior of the new-age Trans Am is here and you'll find it in the last two Insta posts below.
