I was amazed founding such pictures.

According to the description it was South Africa market car.

I found this interesting car when browsing on this subject just now - I can't attach the photo since it won't save as a JPG, so here's the web link:

Definitely appears to be a 2002 body, but with a 4-light front end and an odd rear end, possibly also E12 lights upside down.
 
That's not the Frua Glas, though. It's an E10. I've seen four-lamp front ends on E10s before, but I've never seen a rear end like that. I do love the color scheme, though.

Is this a genuine photograph or AI generated imagery? The lug nuts, wheel centers, other details and qualities make me wonder.

There are companies that sell similar image downloads, like this three headlamp car(note wheels):

You know, you're right - it is. I didn't look closely enough to spot it when I first saw it, but it's obvious now that you mention it. It's better than average for an AI image, for sure. The other ones you posted are obviously AI and confirm the other one.
 
The whole project looks like a little like a ... not really serious (or even fake) but I like Frua designs a lot anyway!
