That's not what the ride vehicle will look like once the ride opens. It is a camouflage being used to wrap the car for the time being. It seems to be Dom's Dodge Charger with the way that the taillights look.

Yup yup~ seems like a more advanced means of promo as per considering the last time we had a major pullthrough visible like this, UOR did it as such:

Pull-through vehicle testing has begun on Jurassic Park Coaster at Islands of Adventure

Universal Orlando has begun vehicle testing on the unannounced Jurassic Park coaster, conducting pull-through and clearance tests on the track. With the track now complete, the testing simulates the reach a rider could extend while riding the coaster and ensure clearances are met as well as make

This would mean we are 9 months out from opening? Assuming we are following on a similar timeline to Velocicoaster.

Velocicoaster seemed to take long due to the extensive theming being done but it seems as if the theming for Hollywood Drift is going to be a lot more simple than that of Velocicoaster's. The one thing that could take a while is the controlled spinning. With it being a controlled spin coaster, along with it being Intamin in general, we could be in for a rough couple of months. I'm sure they're also gonna want to test this thing like crazy to make sure they get the sound barriers right so they can have the least amount of noise spill into the backlot as possible.
