Especially if you're not entirely familiar with the ways of the rendering realm, you might feel tempted to show absolutely no love to the digital portrait we have here, which showcases a digitally-modded Plymouth Superbird. However, let's take a bit of time to enjoy a different perspective on the matter, shall we?
This Superbird has been aero-tweaked using three main ingredients. For once, the machine has been gifted with a widebody kit, the kind you expect to find on a modern muscle car.
Then there's the redefined road connection: while the wheels aren't the super-sized kind feature on many contemporary muscle builds, their lips barely clear those massive arches, which comes thanks to an air suspension, so there's no reason to fret about the microscopic ground clearance, as this is simply the "pose" setting of the said hardware.
As for the removal of the machine's iconic rear wing, those complaining about this would have to talk about the lack of such an aero bit on the 2020 Dodge Charger Daytona (while the original Charger Daytona and the Plymouth Superbird were non-identical twins, the demise of the second brand means the latter vehicle had zero chances at being resurrected).
Besides, featuring such a rendering (pixel tip to digital artist Danny Berry) means we get to pay our respects to the late Chrysler engineer Larry Rathgeb once again. Having taken the lead of the Chrysler Special Vehicle Group back in the 1960s, Rathgeb managed to convince execs that a radical aero transformation would be the winning formula for the Dodge Charger Daytona's NASCAR success (200 mph record and all), while bringing the said Dodge and the Plymouth Superbird to the road.
Alas, the engineer recently passed away at the age of 90 after having lost the battle with the current global crisis.
Returning to the idea of such renderings being post-modern tributes to the said pioneer's work, here's another one, focused on the Dodge side of the affair.
