We've featured Khyzyl Saleem's work before, but his latest S2000 creation isn't just another static rendering.
Next Level
Automotive renderings have come a long way in recent years, mostly thanks to some pretty killer software. But it still takes a ton of talent to create realistic looking, nicely modified vehicles, something that Khyzyl Saleem has obviously mastered. But the digital artist, who has collaborated with the likes of Electronic Arts on their Need for Speed series, recently took things to the next level with this wild, animated slo-mo S2000.

First Attempt
Saleem originally came up with this particular S2000 3D rendering back in October of last year, but recently decided to take it up a notch. To do that, he created what he says is his first rolling, slow-motion animation of a car driving down the road. The whole thing turned out very cool, even though Saleem admits that it's a work in progress.

Fantasy World
Of course, like all of his renderings including the many S2000s Saleem has created, this particular car is nowhere near stock. For starters, it features large headlight covers that basically span their entire mass. Which may not be so great for nighttime driving. But hey, this is a fantasy world, so that's perfectly fine.

Custom Bodywork
The car is also slammed on the ground and rolling on wheels that are tucked up in the wheel wells, a look we've come to expect. On top of that, the rear section of the S2000 features some custom bodywork that adds giant air intakes as you'd see on a mid-engine exotic.

Takes Practice
Ever the perfectionist, Saleem points out that the wheels on the car aren't rolling at the correct speed in the first portion of the animation. He notes that this process is a bit harder than one might think, but that the last 10 seconds things line up as they should.

Making Progress
Regardless, Saleem's work is way better than most of us could hope to do ourselves, whether it be on our first try or our 1,000th. And we'll be looking forward to seeing his subsequent attempts as he masters the process via social media.
