Too long for UK car parks apparently (5.2m).

Front looks like a mix between an Audi and most Chinese EVs.

Priced and aimed at tech/cryptobros.

Meh.

3 tonnes. 23 inch wheels. Hope it sells. It looks just as daft as a cybertruck to me 🤷‍♂️

Could you really live with a single temp for your and your passenger in 2026?

i think the price is fine, but it risks looking like a Korean/chinese rolls royce copy. I can’t see it being any more than an influencer led flash in the pan for sales.

the bonnet length is just daft - is the space used?

Design is fine… just need to do it at 80% scale. Rear door access looks terrible, so not going to chase the limo market is a bit foolish. Not sure about the size of the presenter, but the central column looks quite high.

JLR can do luxury, but this is massive and yet cramped inside… think I’d prefer the eFFRR

I quite like it, like a modern day Atlantic. Completely pointless, not practical but somehow desirable. Glad they've made something different to what else is being offered currently.

Completely pointless and not practical is probably not great for a company known for luxobarge daily drivers though.

The long bonnet and full length transmission tunnel - is that’s they can fit a V12 after sales dry up withinc3 months?
How about not having a sig at all?

Awful in every way. Its like a concept car from the 1980s that's been reborn.

I like it, but shame they didn't take the long development time to not go full screen on the inside and have some proper metal buttons instead.

Not for me, but it would be interesting to see one on the road, I'm sure it'll have presence one way or another.

Yeah it'll be impressive to see on the road and probably looks quite special at night.

Problem being you won't be able to park it in places like The Midlands.

A great concept for a halo car but can't imagine seeing many about.

I think the rear looks dated already, don't mind the rest of it though.
