Face swaps for go-fast machines are already a bit of a trend on social media, but why discriminate - what about the other end of these speed devils? Well, the rendering staring at us from behind the screen comes to address that, gifting the R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R with the posterior of the current R35 GT-R.
There are many ways to regard this pixel transformation, but whether you call it a butt lift like they do in the beauty industry or would rather prefer to see it as something linked to the facelift term that's so often used in the car business, it won't make a difference.
The idea is that, unlike in the case of those face swaps mentioned in the intro (here's an example involving the McLaren 720S and the Toyota 86), j.b.cars, the label behind the work, hasn't done a copy/paste job.
Instead, most of the elements that define the rear end of the still-in-showrooms GT-R have migrated to the posterior of its predecessor.
And, despite the massive gap between the two generations, the visual stunt we have here seems to work just fine. Then again, those of you who are tuned into our SpeedShot tales might not find this surprising, since a similar feat, albeit involving the faces of the Japanese heroes, has recently pleased our eyes.
As you'll notice in the social media post below, the update for the R34 has even gone beyond the back of the machine. To be more precise, the list of borrowed R35 goodies also includes the wheels (of course), those unconventional door handles and the air vents close to the front wheels.
Of course, we can't talk about the R35 without reminding you that Nissan is on its way to giving us a new generation of the supercar, albeit with the carmaker still being tight-lipped on the details.
