Automotive Artist and Conceptual Designer, Abimelec Arellano on the Hot Rod BBQ

Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ Podcast

It used to be that to see concept cars back in the day, you’d have to wait what seemed like years. You’d see them in the pages of a magazine, or at the big automotive shows, and if they were good, they’d make you stand back and gawk with wonder. However now, in the 21st century, automotive artist can create stunning automotive concepts in a matter of days utilizing some amazing software. Abimelec Arellano is one of those artists, and with a following of almost 75,000 fans on Instagram, his popularity is growing like wildfire. His conceptual automotive art constantly asks the question, “what if?” and his creations and mashups will make you rethink what you thought you liked. For instance, what if Porsche had built an overlanding rig out of the misunderstood 928, what would it look like? Or how about if Lamborghini took a Miura and went NASCAR racing? Or maybe even still, a Ford Crown Victoria that received the same hot rod treatment as the Mustang SVT Cobra R - would that intrigue you? If these concepts don’t, you’re probably dead inside, but if they do, then you MUST visit his Instagram page because the scope of his work is nothing short of amazing.
