I'm surprised I haven't seen these photos until now but we might have a first look at what Rivian's Rally EV could look like.
In this photo of a R1T from February, you can see a bright blue shell, that kind of looks like a hatchback. It could be for the rally car or for another project.
According to our spy photographer and his designer source, we shouldn't get too carried away with design speculation from this one prototype. Apparently these design bucks are used for testing sight lines, seating arrangement, ergonomics and such. As a result, the exterior design is far from finished, since most of it won't be seen from the inside. But the window shape does suggest a somewhat curvy hatch, and our photographer notes that the fenders could be similar to production, as they could affect visibility if they're as wide as they appear to be.
I wouldn't doubt a road going version.
However, instead of a model dedicated for that purpose. We might just see the R1S or a smaller Rivian SUV sold as an electric alternative to the Wrangler.

Plans for a Rivian Off-Road Racing Team could push for the development of an R1T Baja Race Truck.
In recent years, electric vehicles have been showing up to compete in races like the Baja 1000 and the R1T could be next, if Rivian founder & CEO RJ Scaringe decides to establish a team to join this...
