"Showing almost everything" ... except the front and rear ends .

The side profile looks very similar to the current 7. It seems that the new 7's exterior will be very evolutionary compared to the current 7.

Seems like they kept the current big-body shape.
Probably a mule but I thought they were going to go with the CSL design?

Semi-integrated bumper exhaust
