Influential automotive virtual artist Jon Sibal, titled jonsibal on social media, usually plays with Japanese-style cars but decided to make a Blue Oval exception after previously playing with Mopar goodies.
More precisely, a few weeks ago, when the Internet was all the rage about whether or not people approve of Stellantis's move to make the all-new STLA Large-based eighth-generation Dodge Charger both an EV and ICE-powered car in addition to a traditional two-door fastback coupe or a contemporary four-door sedan, this pixel master went a bit wild.
So, he vexed the imaginative realm of digital car content creators that dwell across the parallel universes of vehicular CGI with a green Daytona monster featuring wider tracks and also some nifty widebody fender flares, a new front lip (with yellow protectors, of course), an air suspension setup slammed on three-piece step-lip aftermarket alloy wheels, the old-school Daytona-inspired rear wing, and a set of extra speakers in the trunk – connected to the Fratzonic Exhaust "for that extra rumble."
Well, as it turns out, his wacky American ideas didn't end there. Recently, he tuned in on Ford's latest hype – the 800-horsepower Mustang GTD was presented officially in Europe on the side of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, and it was the first time we caught a glimpse of the not-so-stellar interior and the great-looking Carbon Series with the Performance Package.
Naturally, everyone and their mother from the Blue Oval-focused automotive enthusiast community knows the 800-hp 5.2-liter supercharged V8 monster was developed as the road-legal counterpart of the Le Mans-spec Mustang GT3, so it's much more a true-blooded supercar rather than a muscle car like its lesser Coyote V8 counterparts, the Mustang GT and Dark Horse.
Hence the whining and rumbling during testing – Ford has been adamant about pursuing a sub-seven-minute lap time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. But what if the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD could be 'Gone in 60 Seconds?' That would be an even more impressive feat, right? Well, that's possible now – albeit solely in CGI.
This is because the pixel master "had fun reimagining the concept of a modern Eleanor would look if it was based on a GTD." Most of the unique features that are very familiar to fans of both the Eleanor from H.B. Halicki's 1974 original and the one recreated for the Nicholas Cage and Angelina Jolie flick in 2000 are still present on this Eleanor Ford Mustang GTD – but they were modernized and modified to fit the contemporary S650 style better. Also, this virtual concept is on an air suspension, "so it can still drive around and be gone in less than 60 seconds." What do you think of it?
