Hawx side-by-side UTV

A side-by-side with HAWX on the flank and something no off-roader should be wearing: oversized chrome wheels on low-profile tyres instead of knobblies.

HAWX is set in navy capitals across the white side panel with a small mark in front of it and a short badge beside it. The machine is a two-seat side-by-side: a white tubular roll cage over an open cockpit, white and turquoise bodywork with a wave graphic running back across the rear panel, and violet coil-over springs standing at the front suspension.

The wheels are the thing worth recording. A side-by-side normally rides on tall knobblies; this one is on oversized many-spoke chrome wheels wrapped in low-profile tyres that fill the arches completely. Whoever built it built it for the street.

Two people are in it, the driver in a red face covering and the passenger in purple. In front of the machine, a pink dirt bike crosses the frame with a rider in a purple balaclava and zebra-print gear, and pigeons are on the ground at the bottom of the crop. Behind it is a painted wall.

The frame it comes from

The frame is a still from the official Press pack, which carries no timecode. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 557 by 346 of it. Also in it: a small income-tax office, Vice City, Declasse Impaler '80, a modern muscle coupe, a red sport sedan, and a stunt dirt bike.

What we still do not know

• Whether Hawx is the maker or the model. It appears where a maker's name usually sits.
• What the short badge beside the name reads
• Whether the street wheels are a variant, a modification or the stock fit
• Everything measured: top speed, handling, price, where it spawns
