Modern muscle coupe

A gunmetal modern muscle car parked nose-out against a Vice City kerb, photographed from bumper height in flat daylight, with its front splitter almost touching the road.

The car is parked nose-out against a kerb with grass in front of it, and the camera sits almost level with the bumper. That is the angle you want: the entire front is readable, in daylight, with nothing coloured by neon.

The nose is wide and low. Slim horizontal headlights sit high in the wings. Below them the bumper is cut into three openings — a broad central grille with vertical bars, and a smaller intake at each corner. A splitter runs the full width of the car, close enough to the road to catch the light off it. The bonnet is not flat: a raised centre section runs back to a vent at the base of the windscreen.

The paint reads gunmetal or dark grey. Directly behind it stands a cream car with an arm hanging out of the window, and the pair of them are parked outside a small income-tax office with a Gloriana plate and the Manman billboard in the same frame.

How to recognise it

• Wide, low nose with slim horizontal headlights set high in the wings
• Bumper split into a broad barred centre grille and two corner intakes
• Full-width front splitter, very close to the road
• Raised centre section on the bonnet, ending in a vent at the windscreen
• Parked nose-out at a kerb in flat daylight

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 307 by 194 of it. Also in it: a small income-tax office, Vice City, Declasse Impaler '80, a red sport sedan, a stunt dirt bike, and Hawx side-by-side UTV.

What we still do not know

• The name, and the manufacturer
• Whether it is a coupe or a convertible — the roofline cannot be told apart from the cream car standing directly behind it
• The whole rear and the right-hand side, which are outside the crop
• Everything measured: top speed, acceleration, handling, price, where it spawns
