(What if) A.I. car art game

Most likely photoshop as that rear door intake is kind of weird.

I have an idea. Yesterday whlie researching for my QFC, I came across a SWEET concept mustang. It was called the Mach 2C. This is a good article on it https://performance.ford.com/enthusiasts/newsroom/2021/04/mach-2-concept.html

Anyway it would be cool to see “what if” Ford made this car and modernized it through the eras.

This is the concept

It’s got a sick little vent up front, where the air rushes up through the bumper over the hood, like modern 2023+ concepts do (like the new Challenger.)

And the back

I gotta say, there’s got to be a universal timeline where this thing became a reality. I’d like to bend that timeline my way (unless it ended in nuclear war or something.)

ps. I’ve been working on an Automation model of this monster.

This what I got, it’s kinda generic from the 70s onwards.Part of it is that there aren’t many pictures of the car and another is that it kind looks like a generic 80s 90s car from the front, reminds me of the Honda NSX. Image 2 image didn’t work too well on it so I had it generate the car, at least a close facsimile and change the years on the prompt. You be the judge.

As a former Flex owner (2 of 'em) I like this direction.

Subaru WRX decade by decade. I tried hard to get them to vaguely look like a Subaru and if you squint you can see some common design language, but yeah… its hard…

Oh, and starts in 1922 since the WRX was released in 1992 :stuck_out_tongue:

The triple lights are what puts me off, the lining above them kind of reminds me of some Jaguars.

Agree, they look terrible, lol.


What if Citroën had made a BX based crossover?

Shovel?

So, I saw an Audi TT what if…? being made in Photoshop a while back (sadly can’t find it). I was interested if I can get close to that with AI.

There was a really cool looking concept based in the 80s which I was trying to get, more or less successfuly:

E: Found the original, and turns out it was AI generated as well. :smiley:

Finally I got a rather interesting result from an Automation vehicle, the Sanju MDM44 Wolverine.


I am not 100% sure what I think, the background is extremely cool, so is the vehicle but it is still really not the original truck anymore so…

…I did a compromise too.

What could I do from an evolution standpoint, using the 1958 IP Lily as a base image?
