Imagine you have to "take care" of a classic muscle car, be it in real life or in the rendering realm, as is the case with the adventure that brought us here. Sure, you can always work toward restoring the original factory lines, but, given the ever-increasing popularity of restomods, this might be the way to go. And if the topic of your work is a Plymouth Road Runner, you're definitely in for a memorable adventure.
The Mopar machine sitting before us started out in life as a... Plymouth Road Runner 3D model. And while you can clearly identify the slab of America, this now sports modern bits across the board.

Of course, integration is key here and, in this regard, the visual stunt is one of the most refined we've featured.

One might expect to find an air dam below the front fascia of such a project, but this one features a full apron, just like a modern muscle car. Nevertheless, the lower fascia seems to include a flipped and enlarged incarnation of the upper fascia. However, instead of the four light clusters, we only have two holes that are closer to each other and, like most of you, I'm imagining the turbos linked to these pieces.

Having mentioned the blasphemous part of the project, we can move on to the widebody. While the doors have been left untouched, massive curved sections now adorn the front and rear fenders, with the rear one even adding brake-cooling bits.

Of course, the wheels have been updated and it seems we're dealing with a mix involving the deep-dish design and standout center units. Then there's the "longtail" addition to the posterior, with this appearing to be aimed at improving the high-speed aero profile of the machine.

This remastered piece of America comes from Les Machines, a Munich-based digital art label whose name you might have encountered in the past, albeit not as the main force behind a rendering - perhaps this DeLorean DMC-12 or this Lincoln Continental can refresh your memory.
