This just showed up on my YouTube feed and my wife asked me if it was real, haha.

Nice if they brought back the roadster...

How could you not? Of course, a 2024 JCW is already above $50k so I shudder to think what one of these might sell for. Glad I bought lottery tickets today! And, BTW, AI is an amazing, and more than a little scary, thing, isn't it?

Pretty unbelievable what AI can do these days. Really, really scary.

I agree. What AI can do even in its infancy looks pretty scary in many respects.
Not to get into a semantic debate - but this really isn't "AI".
But rather CGI.
I prefer to give credit where credit is due; to the flesh and blood 3D molder talent that created that interesting design.

Again, I'm just staying on topic.
