As anybody with a passion for fast cars and an Internet connection has noticed, longtail conversions are on the rise - you know, increasing the size of a car's posterior to ensure extra stability at the top end of the speedometer. And while the best recent example of this has to be the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, the aftermarket side of the industry is watching too. For now, we'll stick to a rendering of the sort, one that involves the Toyota Supra.
This Mk IV Supra has received a widebody conversion and the pixel transformation deserves plenty of praise. For one thing, the integrated wing of the Japanese toy almost makes it look like a Longtail machine, increasing the surface that directs the airflow - here's an example of a real-world Porsche 911 GT2 RS build that also stretches the Longtail concept.

Going past the LT stunt, this Supra kit borrows multiple elements from factory designs and the front fender air vent that says Chevrolet Corvette is an example as good as any. Oh, and let's not forget the racing-like parts, such as the door mirrors found on the Toyota.

However, the devil is not just in the details. You see, despite the fact that this kit packs all sorts of aero tricks, the end result manages to remain somewhat restrained. Heck, this velocity animal doesn't even need a rear wing to impress.

As for the mind behind this eye candy, we're talking about Arnold Verghese, a gear head who describes himself as an automotive CG artist, a motion designer and an animator.

Fortunately, the car lover went through the effort of rendering multiple angles of the widebody Mk IV Supra and even included a modded Mk V in one of the works - make sure to check out the social media post below, which portray the speed devil.

PS: If you're looking for an Mk IV Supra that has been given an extreme makeover, this rendering should do the trick.

Done!. Few tweaks here an there left but I'm happy with it! More angles to follow. I'm switching modeling software's towards nurbs as I'm finding myself limited in terms of modeling the designs I want. I want to take my modeling to the next level. As for the next cars, It's going to be the last 2 cars in the series of Iconic JDM cars. It is a rally rival duo. I wish I could do all the other cars you guys have suggested, but my time is limited. But definitely in the future. I want to move on to American sports cars, muscle cars, Euro cars, Luxury cars..and so on!M #avdesign #arnold_design #boostednation #toyotasupra #toyotasupramk4 #supra_nation #supraculture #2jznoshit #jza80 #2jz #2jzgte #trd #mkiv #mkivsupra
