The generous folks over at Entertainment Weekly have released the first full-body photo of the new Enterprise, model NCC-1701, which can be seen above. In an excerpt from the article, EW uses a quote from director J.J. Abrams to explain exactly what he is going for in this new Enterprise for a new generation:
Abrams wanted to take the original TV series Enterprise and the movie franchise Enterprise and fuse them together into a new yet familiar Enterprise. His ambition was a ship that felt very realistic, that could “stand up” to today’s f/x standards—and beyond. “If you’re going to do Star Trek there are many things you cannot change. The Enterprise is a visual touchstone for so many people. So if you’re going to do the Enterprise, it better look like the Enterprise, because otherwise, what are you doing?”
Star Trek hits theaters on May 8, 2009 and the official trailer goes online this coming Monday. if you want to get a head start, the trailer will show during Quantum of Solace.

It's a little stylized, a bit of 1701, 1701a, a touch of 1701b and a healthy dose of 1701c.
It'll do -
As a purist, Idon't really like the secondary hull or the nacelles but as Kirk once told Mr Scott - and I know I'm repeating this for the 37th goddamn time -
