The Rimac Automobili website shows a pixelated image with more than 40,000 pixels still to be revealed at the time of writing, and every comment on Rimac's social media posts, as well as every share of the post to individual feeds, will reveal another pixel, according to the automaker.

From the July/August issue of Car and Driver. Toyota summoned the spirit of the 1960–83 FJ40-series Land Cruiser and channeled it into the 2007–14 FJ Cruiser. The SUV is underpinned by an altered version of the contemporary 4Runner’s frame and sits on a wheelbase 3.9 inches shorter than its mid-size sibling’s. Approach and departure angles of up to 34.0 and 31.0 degrees better those of the 4Runner and Land Cruiser of the era. A stubby 183.9-inch-long body and up to 9.6 inches of ground clearance make the FJ a nimble and sure-footed companion on unbeaten paths.
