One of the commenters hates the wheels. I find them fascinating.

I'm not a big fan of the wheels myself, but I feel a lot of midcentury vibe from that design. Sensual, sinewy, and taut. The headlights throw me for a bigger loop. They remind me of the Porsche DRLs, which in turn remind me of the awful cheap LED crap we sold when I worked at a parts store.

Imagine how people felt in 1958, When Ford GM and Chrysler all went to quad headlights.

The body styling is very 1950-60s, but it's body on frame and the bodies will be 'bespoke'.

CR — It's like this with a hub motor:

Maybe it can explain why I liked. At least it doesn't look too "abnormal" on a first sight.
