Recently at HotCars, it has come to our attention that we can't seem to escape the desire of an alternate reality. We're unable to help ourselves when graphic artists continue to create such convincing works of fiction. The latest one is no different as we divert our spans now to this render of a modified Hemi Cuda.

Hemi-Powered Cuda Packs A Root Blower

Timothy Adry Emmanuel, who goes by @adry53customs on Instagram, is another one of the render artists we ought to pay attention to. Emmanuel's specialty appears to center around muscle cars, with a hungry appetite for Chryslers. Long before the Dodge Hellcats and Chrysler minivans used to rule the American lands, the king of the muscle car age was Plymouth.

The graphic artist clearly recognizes this as he does another render of the Hemi-powered Barracuda, this time with a blower engine. He notes that the 'Cuda is his all-time favorite muscle car and shamelessly amplifies what he calls a timeless design.

Mean Stance For A Muscle Car Legend

As you can see, the Barracuda adopts a not-so-subtle blower that breaches the hood almost as high as the roofline. In true rat rod fashion, it is complemented by massive drag radial tires at the back to pull off a mean stance that would leave an impression at car meets. The car adopts a metallic ruby paint job, which appears to be the signature color of the artist who've applied a similar shade in other renders.

Emmanuel finishes the car off with a shaker hood, slapper bars, and custom license plate details positioned in the windshield as well as the rear mount. The Barracuda appears to be a late model E-Body that has appreciated in value over the earlier models.

Not too long ago, Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis commented on the Golden Age of muscle cars, which he believed to have ended in the early 1970s. The E-Body generation Barracuda is a prime example of the muscle car in that era, first produced in 1970 before the oil crisis sealed its fate in 1974.

Kuniskis remains optimistic, however, that there's a new age of muscle car performance coming by way of electric propulsion. With Stellantis still in early days, speculation remains high on what's to come for the American automakers. In the meantime, check out the graphic artist for more muscle car lore to satisfy your cubic-inch cravings.
