Nissan Skyline GT-R Face Swap for Mazda RX-7 Works Like Magic

Imagine a conversation between two digital artists, where the first asks the second about the software used to render an automotive fantasy like the one staring at us from behind the screen. Well, what if the answer was "Need For Speed"?

The answer above tells the story of the contraption we have here, albeit only partially. We're dealing with a monster that looks like the R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R and the FD-gen Mazda RX-7 spent the night together in a cramped garage.

So, what about that story?

Jon Pumfrey, the pixel wielder behind this contraption, has found a shortcut to delivering such renderings. Instead of working on the various custom bits found on the car, the gear head added these by customizing the Japanese heroes in Need For Speed: Heat - this is the latest installment of the franchise, which made its debut last month.

Once the in-game modding was done, the car lover took the two designs to Photoshop, where he made them come together. And, given the styling differences between the two slices of Japan, the result holds together surprisingly well - while the RX-7 dominates the scenery, the attention-demanding face of the vehicle comes from GT-R.

Of course, such a project will drive purists mad, even if this isn't the type of rendering that has serious chances of turning into your future car meet spot. And we haven't even gotten to the details that are truly quirky. For example, this two-door coup now packs four doors handles - while the Mazda units are hidden, continuing the line of the side windows, the doors of the machine now also accommodate the Nissan handles.

In case you're wondering about the mind behind these pixels, you should know this is the work of Jon Pumfrey. We're talking about an Australian YouTuber who loves this kind of stunt, as this Ferrari-F40-Lamborghini-Huracan also demonstrates.
