Plymouth Barracuda "Boost Bomb" Looks Intense in Quick Rendering

Unapologetic. This is the best way to describe the digital restomodding process of the Plymouth Baraccuda that's currently parked on our screens.

Thanks to a combination of major muscle and eye candy, classic Mopar machines are enjoying more popularity with each year that passes. So, when enthusiasts speak of the Plymouth Barracuda, the third-generation model, which left the badge's Valiant roots behind and shared the E-body platform with the Challenger, dominates the scene.

And while the said model, which landed for 1970MY, is still the headliner these days, the second iteration of the Barracuda, which reigned between 1967 and 1969, takes the stage more often than it used to.

Compared to the 1964 original that got a bit of a head start compared to the Mustang but was left far behind in the popularity race against the pony, the Gen II came with a more appealing design, featuring restyled fascias and a Coke bottle shape.

Well, the rendering we have here looks like it throws two Mentos mints into that bottle to "build" a rocket. While the decals on the hips let us know motivation comes from a HEMI, we're obviously refering to the pair of turbos poking through the cowl hood.

The body has been left mostly untouched, albeit with the chrome bits now coming in black, and yet the ride height reduction has a dramatic impact on the Plymouth's appearance.

We can say the same about the back-in-black rolling hardware, with these wheels appearing to borrow a few styling tricks from the good old steelies.

Nevertheless, the posterior of the vehicle shows a few small updates, from the tiny ducktail to the expanded light clusters and the area surrounding the tailpipes.

Door mirrors? Who could even think of attempting to overtake you with all the Barracuda's muscle?

As for the cabin, the digital artist responsible for the work, namely Kalim Oozeear, has chosen a contrast color that's guaranteed to turn heads even when the slammed look or that V8's voice won't. Aaand we're back to the label from the intro...
