The remaining parts would need to be completely newly developed and produced. The team is now trying to find a way to implement the project within the available budget.

As for the vehicle itself, it is still not yet clear whether it will be the size of the X5 or more like the X7.
Thank you for the update and hopefully they can bring the concept to fruition
