There seem to be air intakes toward the rear of the glass, suggesting a mid-engine car.  In which case, the retro style is a nice solution to what can too often be an ugly set-up. however I'd be interested to read better informed posts.

Cameras and radar also mitigate the reduced visibility in the design.  👀

It's a design study based loosely on the Chiron, which would make it mid-engined, perhaps. But that long hood may indicate otherwise. Unfortunately, we will never know as it is only a digital dream at the moment.

I'm thinking it's best left as a dream.  JMO

I'm not a fan of the Chiron styling, no matter how much the hyper-fast car costs. This styling exercise is nicer but it comes perilously close to the BMW car of years ago. Remember the car they called the "Clown Shoe"? This is reminiscent of that.

I find all this quite pleasing; it's a natural evolution, making a handsome modern interpretation of a classic. 

My only "tweak"  would involve that swoopy top-to door-to fender line. I would've lowered it further down on the door, then angled it up going toward the front wheel.   This, now upward-accent line, better emulates the look of that classic original front fender.     Make sense?
