I'm not quite sure on how to answer this.  The picture shown has been kicking around for awhile on several design sites/blogs.  I believe it is attributed to a designer from the Czech Republic who goes by the screen name Montezuma.  Dates vary between 2010 and 2013, with the rendering usually labeled "Concept", although a couple of sites associate this drawing with the name DeLorean.  Personally, I have my doubt if this was initially intended to be one designer's idea of a resurrected DeLorean, or if it is just a his concept for a very nice looking generic automobile.

OK, but I have a name for the designer, which I need for the point.
