1967 Toyota 2000GT Re-design: What if it was built TODAY?

[@dpzr]

The A-pillar should have been black, that would keep the "floating roof" with "wrap around windshield" concept of the original intact.

[@philipplampert1034]

Dipesh Raj I agree

[@karmveer240]

Yup

[@trevor2830]

I'll be honest I enjoyed your history talk but it's a no for me. The front doesn't feel finished

[@petrovicgoran]

like it's eyes transplant went wrong

[@jacobdavis8089]

I felt that way at first but he really captured the front style of the old design with the redesign. It looks retro modern (cyberpunk-ish).

[@Eelofoppo]

Needs retro style trim color strip

[@beauxguidry5373]

Move the "eyes" further apart and then make the air intake bigger. That would give the car asthma.

[@ArchbardWava]

That little mouth that you added on the final touches: 😦

[@basithph8958]

The pop up headlights on the 2000GT is just amazing One of the best parts about this car

[@hoedemakerbart]

IT was never designed with pop up headlights but added because US regulations

[@HerrZenki]

Kinda looks "retro-futurist" -ish. Although it looks kind of like an iroc now.

[@IkeAndoit]

Could I send you a few pics and ideas and get you to do one for me so that I have a goal to work towards for a real project. If so, how much?

[@Cre8Lounge]

more like a Nissan Z car

[@TVTVOnTheWall]

@@Cre8Lounge yeah

[@2ndlt.sadness67]

It looks like a 60s stingray, combined with the rear end of a porche, and the long front end of a jaguar... Sexy.As.Hell

[@tomlangton123]

It would be really interesting to see you choose a car brand and design a future concept for them!

[@reubenjazzroberts]

yeah that would be really cool

[@reubenbunter143]

[@freshklinki93]

​@M VW tried it with the Golf 8 and they terribly failed. VW's conservative, boring and uninspiring design is the reason why they're so successful and that's why I think they should keep that. Agree with you on GM tho..they don't seem to know what they want

[@bumblebeeprime9070]

I'm curious to see how you would make a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS in modern style 2020.

[@smoats8752]

Now you got me curious too

[@yvngshotz6421]

Either way I feel like it’d look similar to a camaro these days lol

[@fgcorp]

Needs radical changes, probably it would end being an entry-level Camaro.

Ah yes

It’s so hard to make arguably one of the most beautiful cars ever made more modern and beautiful. You tried but didn’t quite pull it off.

[@falcongamer58]

You gave it the baymax face lol

[@shabadoob]

they should definitely redesign a new one

[@solidkreate5007]

I have been screaming that for 20yrs!

[@SALEENS7GTR5]

But it would have too many fake vents and too many driver aids. It's an art piece and driver's car. And no one is making anything of the sort anymore.

[@freshklinki93]

@@SALEENS7GTR5 True. Let legends be legends. No need to reboot them. They proved themselves successfully. That's why I think they shouldn't have made a new Supra

[@eriksantoso1741]

Lfa is the closest one for 2000gt.its the successor of 2000gt and when I say successor they have similarities of not very good sales,yamaha and toyota you know ?

[@shabadoob]

@@eriksantoso1741 yea the LFA is a beautiful sounding v10 Perhaps make another one that's more readily accessible. The 86 platform was good but it wasn't a Toyota engine. I own the BRZ and I would've hopped it had a Toyota engine in it instead.

[@pedrosilveira836]

I think the supra is the natural successor of this car

[@nachoalfonsogarcia2305]

Love your content man, incredible reviews and redesigns. I'm doing a masters in automotive design and this is just what I'm looking for on KZbin. Keep It Up!

Thank you for doing this! This is a favorite car of mine. The final render is beautiful!

[@VirtuaDesign]

Absolutely loved watching the design process unfold, especially when you drew the separate turn signal and as i thought to myself that it could continue connected to the center section and BAM, you did just that. Nice work, now do the rear! 👍🏻

[@GaryKetchum808]

You forgot the huge gaping grille. If it was really made today, it would have one. A staple of modern Toyota.

[@idknils2920]

AMG GT63 Wagon ?

[@HeyItsJA]

FINALLY! I asked for this almost everyday a few months back. I actually really like the retro-futuristic look, though I do feel like some things are missing. Also, this video made me realize the front haunches of the 2000GT reminds me a little of the Corvette Stingray of the time.

[@KyrosTheWolf]

No big intakes, no gimmicky mouth grill, just a simple redesign of a classic car. Toyota should take notes!

[@Mateoscarbrokedown]

I think you should make the pillars on the car quite a bit thicker, if you look at modern cars, they have big pillars for the airbags

Wow. That looks really good. You really kept the identity of the original but there is one problem... Where is the license plate supposed to be?

[@1erickf50]

Love the redesign. Just one detail that I've seen in most if not all your retro redesigns: I strongly disagree with the C-pillar being body colored. It makes it look both antique and kinda fragile as well as breaking the continuity of the glass. There's a reason modern cars have thicker C-pillars. If anything, it should be thick and black to keep such continuity, just like how Koenigsegg does.

[@idknils2920]

2021 300SL ?

[@kdrguru]

Been waiting for this one!

[@sourosseiro]

Amazing, Cam you do any Brazilian car? VW SP2, Puma, Adamo, Miura sport, Chevrolet Opala, Landau,...?

[@slamrahovart9024]

I always felt the Soarer (Lexus Sc300/400) was the spiritual successor with the two round center lights.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Can you give the headlights a full disc of light instead of a circle? The circle creates an iris that makes us look at it as an eye and face and changes the way we look at the car and our brain ignored the other lines and design. And i agree with a comment above on wraparound a pillars to keep the original floating roof feel. And lastly, hope you can incorporate some practical body panel lines, rubber seals, thick a pillar for crash regulations etc so that it looked production ready. Apart from the baymax eyes, the rest of the car only reached the mid 80s and didnt reach the 21st century 😂

[@EnJayMusic]

I love your redesigns! Could you do a tutorial how to redesign cars in photoshop, please? Keep up the good work!

[@tarzan2959]

It would be really could if you re-designed/modernised Citroen SM. It's a really cool (and weird) car and it's its 50th birthday this year!

[@stephanvelines7006]

The Toyota 2000 GT and the Lexus LFA are probably almost illusive Japanese supercars. I totally agree they are some of the most beautiful cars ever designed.

[@Vergilsanchez93]

Gotta say, there's barely anything changed here. Just the front headlights and diffusers? It'd be nice to actually include a subtle redesign, improving on the rear as well, and placing it into a more modern approach. You could take examples from Lamborghini, which had avid models that transitioned to the modern age. Though not all are jaw droppingly beautiful, they can at least attest to a definite progression in design from the 1960s to the 2020s.

[@aliasgmbh582]

I will say she could have looked more modern when she is wearing more modern shoes

[@DaveBob96]

I feel like realistically the 90s Supra is basically the modern day version of this design

Hey sketch monkey, I appreciate all that you do with Photoshop and I would still like you to continue doing that. But could you please do some videos with paper and pencil?

[@2ndlt.sadness67]

He does do pencil-paper videos... Hi to his channel page and watch them

[@ghost7444]

The redesign is awesome, getting rid of the chrome and keeping the round headlights work. The rim's tie it together. Does not even look like Toyota brand looks like a high end brand like Ferrari or Jaguar. NICE!

[@mr.blahblah4731]

Was expecting more of a change. Still great technique.

[@giovannimaniscalco5515]

Great job, love it so much... the 2000GT is such an awesome car... I would like to see how a fiat coupe or a Lancia Delta would be if they designed them during these years... I own both of these two cars and I absolutely love them... keep it up and greetings from Italy 🇮🇹💪

[@stephanienicks5043]

You should redesign a 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood Miller Meteor Hearse into a family station wagon.

[@SuperRacingBros]

Could you redesign the interior of this car too? Possibly taking inspiration from the Honda E...?

[@Rek_Rc]

It could never be as beautiful as the original. Honestly the 2000gt was they most beautiful thing ever built by humans in my opinion. I don't think a modern version could quite capture the eye like the original . All sports and supercars now days look pretty much the same as each other. Unless Toyota literally copied the exact look of the old car it just wouldn't be as good looking whatever they do. But to see the old car with all today's tech and power would be the best thing Toyota could ever build. If reasonably priced it could be the biggest hit in Toyota's history.

[@Scisca1a2a]

Put the Lexus LFA V10 into it and you have another legend

[@JJ-iy8dx]

could you modernize the 2003-2008 JDM accord wagon?

[@DarthVader-1701]

We sort of have a modern 2000GT, the Toyota 86 has been said to have been a modern 2000 GT but I think in reality the Subaru version is more of a 240Z and RX-7 without turbos.

[@narrowistheway77]

I think a slight bit of added girth in the front and rear fenders would put it over the top

[@Johandyman]

what wheels are those?

[@elywrlds594]

i cannot stress enough how much this looks like a ferrari daytona, especially before you put the new headlights in

you should modernize the Fox Body Mustang

[@smashrc8481]

I know it's random but could you modernize a chaser? I think that would be interesting:)

[@danield.7359]

[@RYUSHIR0]

This is more like a resto-mod body kit thing that we are used to see in SEMA with something like The Ring Brothers than a what if it was built today redesign... it still looks cool tho, just not what i expected based on the title.

I like your idea. Especially if you could modernize the running gear with a high-horse engine, 6-speed Tremec, modern disc brakes, but keep the styling just like it is. Perfect.
