It looks off beause its a PR render. They use too many lights to show off every detail. Anyway, it will look better in the show. And yes that the official model

Great, Matrix, now all you have to do is go and post those comments three times on every one of the other threads where the ship is even mentioned and you'll fit right in...

I wouldn't characterize John Eaves as lazy. I blame Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and the rest of TPTB. They have the final say on the design and I'm sure one of them, probably Berman, said "I really like the Akira design and nobody except those Trekkie dweebs would recognize it if we reused it."

BLUE WARP GRILLS?
But they appeared in the TNG era, and not the TOS era.
Not even in the movies too!!! Not even in Star Trek: Generations. And when they redid the TOS Enterprise in DS9's "Trials and Tribble-ations", there was no "blue glow" coming from their engines.
Yet we see it here. Jesus, for once PLEASE if it is going to be from pre-TOS era, please PLEASE make it look like it IS one.......

Ah, but Tahna Los, the Phoenix from Star Trek: First Contact had the blew warp grilles. Well, at the very least she made the blue flash when leaping into warp.

But that's it. I can accept that.
But if this blue glow will be on the ship even when it is NOT in warp, well...... God help Brannon Braga and company.....

So. She's no longer super-extra-shiny-gold-tone, (which I can take), and she's got the blue nacelle grilles. Well, we'll see how she looks in the show.

The blue glow is always there, according to the TNGTM. So the fact that it exists here isn't a problem. However, it has been shown that cutting windows in the nacelles to make it visible is a much later concept. I wish they had stuck to the suggestion they've made that that just wasn't done back then...

The TOS Enterprise, Reliant, and Excelsior did NOT have such a blue glow on their ships, even when they went on impulse.
So someone please explain this anomaly to me?
