no, it looks like the current T4 eurovan with an updated nose and
wheelarches.  the vehicle is in pre-production testing, often times they
black out parts of the vehicle so as to not draw attention (ie, like those
vehicles you see in spy photos are half covered in duct tape and black
primer) or crash test vehicles w/ orange caution tape/decals on them which is
the reason for whe black primered wheels.
