I wouldn't call it distinctive to begin with. Rather plain looking car. And there are a ton of them on the roads.

So this is Bently's new CUV? J/k a drop and some different rims and it would prob look pretty good. Never liked the Continentals rear though. What are the specs since they are calling this car "the bullet"?

^I can't find that info, but I found this:

The kit costs 25,000 pounds which converts into roughly $39,980. If you want the flat black paint job, that costs an extra 7000 pounds, or $11,194.
