You can already see the 50 shades of dark green in the lifestyle images.  If you own the Mini Cooper from 2014 like me, you know what to expect.

I would have assumed it would just use existing rims with new hubcaps, but it kind of looks like they're new? You couldn't really use a tan frictionless axle+pin part on the front wheels with existing parts, and some of the pictures do make it look like the steering hubs are inside the wheel, so that could be cool! It would be a great wheel for trying to make compact suspensions at roughly this scale, but the actual design of the rim doesn't work for that many cars

Expect a new DB5 coming soon. 

P.S. Those plumes are dark tan, right? Lifestyle pics are oversaturated and look olive greenish, but others say it's dark tan too. You know what that means, right?

It has brick built headlights - what's not to like??

It's just a flat shield that goes over the bumper, that's what's not to like.

Like the DB5, the subtle curves are too much for Lego at this scale I'm afraid.

Rear haunches are too big, and there is that odd vertical step over the front wheelarch.

Another spear reference?  maybe my humor is lost in translation?

I took the time and translated texts in the images thanks to DeepL:

As I got confused myself, boot as trunk in AE.

So nothing really unexpected, the classical marketing sentences. But I read through these images and couldn't live with not knowing what is the text. Kinda felt like in primary school, when we did a dictation, as I did it on my phone, constantly switching browser tabs.
