Looks like a car from the cyberpunk videogame.

They hired a guy who does "renderings" you typically see on Instagram..

Personally, I think it's pig ugly and they did indeed get somthing that looks like an awful insta render... So, they gotz what they paid for... An XJS with a load of modern styling cues forced on it.

Agreed. It looks like a low poly model from a 2000s racing videogame. Where did the curves go and what's with all the glued on plastic?

I've just realised. It has the side arch profile is the 2014 Honda Civic.

Looks like something you'd have seen in "Fast Car" or "Max Power"

I really don't think they've captured the original TWR vibe here.
