I think that alloy casting at the back end with woodgrain finish looks odd too - probably appreciated by the creatives though but to an engineer it has zero appeal and just looks unfinished a bit like where the waterfall grille should be at the front imho.


I don’t think that’s intended to be wood grain
It looks to me like they’ve used a 3D print as the master for the sand cast

It’s all going to look white and furry in very short order once it gets wet

Thanks for the explanation I am pre 3D - that will be getting furry already as that looks like one of the three cars that were filmed roaring along the beach in the sea...
