Looks like set dressing from Total Recall!
Love the Rebel Alliance colors. ๐Ÿ˜

Edit:
Okay, so it looks a bit sleeker than the cars in Total Recall.

That car is uglier than a monkey's armpit, but I guess they put a frame on top of an actual car and that's the best they could do.

If you hadn't told me, I would have put my money on that being a Lamborghini.

The space between the frame and the tires is more pronounced than what it seems in this image. You can see it here in maintenance so it make more sense: https://youtu.be/m5Gwttn2D7w

In all honesty, I love how retro-futurist looks in images. But on video, it looks like something Sir Clive Sinclair would have designed (given enough budget).

I would drive the fuck out of this! Quick, someone loan me a few million dollars so I can buy one!

If that bad boy runs you over, it'll slice your legs clean off and save you money on a casket.
