Looking for Cyberpunk 2077-ish car - Quadra Type-66 "Cthulhu" inspired

As the title says, inspired by Cyberpunk 2077, and even more by the video for the Sturgill Simpson song "Sing Along", I'm looking for a car that'd fit a cyberpunk setting. Specifically, I'm looking for a car that looks a bit (a lot) like the Quadra Type-66 "Cthulhu" from said game.
I've been looking around the web and the cars I've found are either too 'muscle car' or too 'sports car', if that makes sense. The best one I found and I could be happy with is the old Maximum Madness car, but I'm very much open to further suggestions.
For those who don't know the Quadra Type-66 "Cthulhu", for reference;

Not neccesarily looking for a copy, but I'm looking for a car with that 'vibe'. I'll look at the QRF Stealth!
there are simular style cars in tne store + Thanx
have you looked at the nemesis

its a poser model but in other formats. may be along the lines of what you are looking for with a bit of kitbashing
A bit chunky-bodied, but fits, also comes in black.

Not THE car, but modeled after the one you get from the fight in The Glen. They had to stick the doubled wheels on the back so they didn't hit that IP.

Definitely not it, but one of the few recent ones not to get slapped with an Editorial license.

I so wish I knew where to find one like the Cthulhu, or even better the Javelina (my favorite ride in game). Good luck, I'll follow to see what you or the community come up with.
Bonus: Poor-man's Aeordyne

I did this one using DzFire's QRF Stealth, but have since done some cool ones using his Wasteland Vehicle Construction Set, which comes with a Mustang body like that.
FYI, the QRF Stealth is a Very Large vehicle and will need to be scaled down.
I did this one using the legacy product The Nemesis, by KookN'Fat
Might be easier to see in the video that was extracted from - about half way through (1:33)
I kit bash in a bunch of zany portions from other things - often removing parts of them using Geometry Editor.
For example, this one begins with Mely3D's Modular Buggy - and even some of those parts have been scaled in various ways - I also like to use Mesh Grabber to help with some things as well.
Clicking on the image will take you to the forum thread where I talk about the kit bash a bit. It's all loaded onto Linday's Four-Wheeler Animation Template - so... yeah! Rosie can drives this thing around! :)
This is the one I was talking about from DzFire's Wasteland Vehicle Construction Set. I hadn't Cyberpunked it yet. This is the car I used to demonstrate Linday's amazing Four-Wheeler Template system in my The Power of aniMate 2 course by Digital Art Live.
This one is pretty beaten down - as I intended. But if we look to the right side in the Content Library, we see the "Interceptor". That one has your spoiler, pristine paint, and is a beautiful preset to start with if you want to build a Cthulhu!
Also, when looking for cool cars to kit bash, just be aware that the XI vehicles look really cool, but they don't come with the cool helpfuls, like working suspension, turning steering wheels, etc., - at least in the ones I've collected so far. I still get them anyway, but since they don't help me for my hero, I just use those as the cars I smash - because I'm mad at them! LOL
Mely3D and DzFire vehicles have been a real joy to work with. There are many others as well. But those two vendors always come to mind when I'm shopping for a Hero vehicle.
Oh, and FYI - in the above picture of the Wasteland Vehicle, it normally doesn't have those huge tires/wheels in front. I put those there.
Part of the whole lesson in the course was how I like this vehicle for the animation template because the wheels/tires are parented to the car, rather than being part of an Actor. So we can put any of the wheels anywhere we want. It's a nice kit and there are add-ons for it too.
The Nemesis, by KookN'Fat might even just do it for you right out of the box. It's a beautiful car and even comes with an N37 (Mass Effect N7-style) texture option!
The only downside being that we have to convert to Iray, since it is a legacy product. But I find that to be enjoyable as well. In my video above, where I show it in action, I've painted my own color scheme for it and added a bunch of Cyber-Tech stuff.
There is also the Cyberpunk Coupe Car which has the editorial licence - presumably because it's atleast heavily inspired from the game.
I's also like to point out that, when I was making my QRF Stealth Cyperpunk car, I was noticing that I wouldn't be able to show doors opening and closing. That's the Scale thing I mentioned earlier. It's literally a tank with wheels. A very cool tank with wheels. To get into it, there's a hatch in the roof. DzFire vehicles are all something to behold, for sure. Excellent suspension morphs!
The Nemesis and QRF Stealth are very similar in style, and The Nemesis has really cool functional doors.
DzFire's Maximum Madness is another option, but is also pre-Iray. Still and Amazing piece of vehicle with Many options!
In this one, Rosie uses the XI Cyber Supercar as a ramp for her cool new Mely3D Dirt Bike. She's being persued by Mely3D's Cyberpunk Car, which is also very cool, albeit not quite as fancy. Again, that XI Cyber Supercar is being punished for not having decent animation morphs! LOL
Oh, and Predatron's awesome Light Truck is in there as well. The cop car comes with Stonemason's Urban Sprawl 3. Being a low-poly decorative prop, that cop car is awesome, like the rest of US3!
Example of what I mean:
In a product like this, one would certainly expect to see working suspension. I haven't purchased it, so I'm not entirely sure, but from previous experiences and the product description, the suspension is stuck in this position - which really doesn't work for me.
You're not wrong.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far! Fun to see this thread (partially) take on a life of its own :-)
