Despite the last truly American Chevy Nova, the Gen 4, having rolled off the production line back in 1979 (nobody wants to remember the rebadged Toyota that was the FWD fifth-gen, built for the 1984-1988 model years), this badge still gets plenty of love nowadays. Nevertheless, the most desirable incarnation of this Chevrolet remains the third-gen model (think: 1968-1974MY) and we are now here to discuss a rendering portraying a highly modified incarnation of the machine.
The Gen 3 Nova will always have a special place in the hearts of aficionados, especially since its SS version, which morphed from a trim level to a performance pack for 1968, is remembered as one of the coolest compact muscle cars Detroit has ever delivered.

As we've already mentioned when discussing a different rendering, one that portrays a Nova revival, the chances of the badge returning are pretty slim. For one, the wheelbase of the current, sixth-gen Camaro is only slightly shorter than that of the said Nova.

Nevertheless, the pixel painting sitting before us bring plenty of modern aero tweaks for the classic model. It all starts with the widebody of the machine. There's no air dam here - instead, you'll find a massive lower front fascia that packs a chin spoiler. The first is connected to the generous front wings, which pack hefty vents.

The same can be said about the rear wings, albeit with these not being linked to the rear fascia. Oh, and let's not overlook the side skirt extensions that seem to match the profile of the said splitter.

At the back, we find a wing, albeit not as large as that adorning the Dodge Charger Daytona, a classic muscle car that has enjoyed multiple remakes based on modern Mopar machines. Then there's the massive diffuser, which almost dwarfs the otherwise generous quadruple exhaust pipes.

The uber-limited ground clearance means we could be dealing with an air suspension on its lowest setting, while the all-black custom wheels are definitely modern.

Perhaps the most interesting contrast comes from the blower hat and the LED light clusters found at both ends of this Nova. And, in case you're wondering about the origin of these pixels, you can thank digital artist Emmanuel Brito for the work.
