The Chevy Chevelle nameplate captured the hearts and minds of enthusiasts over three generations, with production lasting between 1963 and 1977. Now, one digital artist is bringing it back with a modern take that includes a hyper-aggressive, ultra-wide body kit, as seen in the following rendering.
Recently posted to social media by London-based automotive designer @yasiddesign, the new widebody Chevrolet Chevelle is impressive, bringing all the old-school cues expected, plus a swath of contemporary enhancements that bless it with a unique aesthetic all its own.
This particular Chevy Chevelle rendering is based on the 1967 model year, and appears as though it was produced to provide inspiration for a real-life build.
The characteristic wide front fascia now sports new LED lighting elements fitted to the quad headlamps, while the grille was replaced with a new black insert. Lower in the fascia, we find carbon fiber added to the bumper and lower splitter, with yellow detailing along the outer edges of the aero treatment, complementing the yellow finish for the roll cage seen peeking out from behind the windshield.
The fenders are now massively flared, housing deep-dish wheels with a polished lip and black inner design. The wheels sit flush with the fenders, slamming the Chevy Chevelle right to the ground.
Moving back to the rear end, the wider fenders add even more to the Chevy Chevelle’s extended rear trunk and tail, giving the whole thing some impressive length, especially in conjunction with the extended front lip and splitter added to the mix.
Finished in a metallic green color, this widebody Chevy Chevelle actually has a slight yellow tint to it from certain angles, which plays nicely with detailing in the aero, tire sidewalls, and roll cage.
“I can’t help but drool over how sleek everything is especially dropped on those flushed wheels,” writes the artist.

Hoonicorn killer.
I just threw up in my mouth.
Now the Dodge Charger remake on the otherhand,what were they thinking for they alienated and ruined the name,reputation and styling completely unlike the original classic car and to conclude,I don’t ever recall seeing one having 4-doors! My apologies for getting off the subject to the Chevelle but the designers need to take the time to think before they react when it comes to remakes on certain classic cars!
Well.. Nice try, I guess.
This could be a good look if it was a bit less aggressive on the widening and if the doors were redesigned as well to get the shapes flowing again.
Otherwise it looks kind of dumb, to be honest.
that car is junk
how much horsepower is that car pushing out and the widebody is not the way to go at first you could have came out with the widebody next year
The artist mentions drooling over the sleekness of this abomination. I hope the head injury isn’t as serious as it sounds. Jonathan, it looks like you didn’t learn anything from the horrific GTO article you posted last week.
I cannot wait for this “widebody” phase to fizzle out.
It has been so overdone it is now creeping into a car – 67 Chevelle – that it has absolutely no business being within 4000 miles of.
I get that there are people who like that “look” on a car, and I’m sure that it maybe could serve a purpose if it were for roadracing (not even NASCAR goes to such extremes) but stick to the “Fast & Furious” cars and leave the classics for those of us who still appreciate them for what they are – Classics.
Ugly. No flow to it, and it looks like an add-on. Maybe these “artists” should try a different line of work. I guess if they were good at it they would be working for a major auto maker.
The car looks roomy,stylish and indirectly stealthy for most cars today excluding trucks and sports cars are like cracker-Jack boxes and most of them look the same and America’s due for a nice change in pace! The Dodge Challenger remake’s doing quite well and so will this car provided the price,available engines,fuel ratings,safety features and etc. that would be of concern!
Not my style to ruin a Classic
Where’s the blow-up Batman
what the HELL were they thinking,,,or, smoking I should say,,,,,To do that to a classic Chevelle,OMG,,,WHAT A WASTE OF TIME,ENERGY,AND IM SURE IT COST A PRETTY PENNY TO SCREW THAT CLASSIC UP,,,,SHAME ON YOU,,,THNX,NOW IM READY TO PUKE
Please do us a favor and just make a 67 chevelle I mean a perfect clone I would personally buy one today.

Owning a classic 67 chevelle my self leads me to say no way.. That is ugly as sin
well i have to agree it is not that well executed in flow , never like the look of Bubble flairs . I did my 66 Chevelle SS of my own design Back in the Late 79 , Move the the body out 3″ 0n rear 1/4 panels and front fenders also , connected front too rear with a wedge running board , all fiber glass . Back then at shows it was all bolt on some Bubble flairs and put big tires under it ,ugly. So this was my way of doing it Better . I run P295-15 on 10″ rims all the way around. Painted it Custom Lacquer Carmine Red with Candy Apple side and a pillar Accents . Still have it and still Drive it. I would post a picture if i could to show what a tasteful job looks like. I did get a picture of it in 1986 Car craft Magazines Rainbow Coalition layout . Driving past the Grandstands on the Cruise Of the Champions for Placing Best Chevy Car and my 4×4 Truck also placed .
