Here they are, the press embargo is lifted!
Note that these are development prototypes that don't have finalised specs as some pics show headlights that are not production (round led instead of hexagonal).
Some Specs:

- 3-mode MxDrive AWD system with 4WD, 4WD Sport and 2WD.
- 8-Speed ZF automatic with fast locking torque converter and with Sport, Sport+, and full manual mode: no upshifts at redline.
- Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires: 275/35ZR-20 front and 285/35ZR-20 rear
- Weight: about 4200 lbs or 1800kg. AWD system adds about 140 lbs to the car or 63.5kg.
