5 impossible Hindustan Ambassador renders

The Ambassador is one of the earliest and most iconic cars in India. Made by Hindustan Motors, the Ambassador’s production started in 1958 and went on till 2014, when the car was finally discontinued. The Ambassador was based on the Morris Oxford series III model and the basic design of the car remained the same throughout its lifetime. Hindustan Motors launched several different types of vehicles based on the ambassador including a pickup truck. While the Ambassador may never come back the way it was, here are 5 ways, though quite impossible, in which we wish to see it someday.

Roadster

Starting off the list is this roadster version of the Ambassador which looks damn cool. The low slung look infused with the Ambassador DNA looks really gorgeous. We bet this one could steal the thunder at any auto show if made. The front end gets typical Ambassador design traits like the metal bumper, chrome-ringed circular headlamps and sculpted bonnet. The old school shiny metal tires add a further touch of class to this Ambassador speedster. Artist: Vipin Vathoopan

Hovercar

Yes, you got it right. This one is not for real. This is a digital render created by our artist Vipin Vathoopan  who edited photos of actual Ambassadors on Indian roads. Nevertheless, the concept looked so cool that we couldn’t stop ourselves from including in this list. The concept for this hovering Ambassador is somewhat inspired by the flying cars seen in the Back to The Future movies or the Harry Potter franchise. The Ambassador seemed the perfect car then to apply this concept on.

Mad Max Amby

 

Flicks like Death Race and Mad Max gave us the concept of battle-ready cars that are ready to take you on a ride on doomsday. While thinking of applying this concept on an Indian car, the Ambassador again came on top of our minds. It looks total badass and carries an arsenal of weaponry with it. It has been draped in matte black paint and the windows have been covered with metal bars in true death race style. The wheels have been replaced with broader units and the front end is best left unsaid. Artist: Unknown

Gullwing Amby

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is the inspiration behind this Ambassador render. The 300 SL was the first car to introduce the concept of gullwing doors to the world and they became the car’s X factor soon after. This design was not replicated later due to several reasons, among which was prime. We took the Ambassador roadster render, made some tweaks and voila! The Ambassador gullwing was made us skip a beat as it looks achingly beautiful. Personally, I’m not too big a fan of vintage styled cars but this, oh man, this proved how wrong I’ve been all this while. Artist Vipin Vathoopan

Brute SUV

From a purist point of view, making an SUV out of regular cars is considered to be a sin. A few decades back, auto enthusiasts often looked down upon SUVs and Wagons as merely for utilitarian use. However, SUVs are the best selling vehicle type in the current world which speaks volumes about how much they have developed. For the same, we turned the Ambassador into an SUV by extending its body, modifying the roof and giving it a set of butch alloy wheels. It now looks the perfect example of a resto-mod. Artist Vipin Vathoopan
