Mentioned at around 29:07, one of the 4 interns from Sweden (David) in the VFX team was stated to be working on this ship\vehicle. Given (according to the roadmap) that the VFX team appear to start working on ships\vehicles towards the end of their development, it's possible that we'll see this sometime this year.

Based on this month's "Monthly report", it may fit one of:
Art (ships):
Work also continued on an unannounced ship, which passed its LOD0 review gate and is well into the final-art phase.

A new variant moved into the LOD0 phase after passing its greybox review in January. Detailing work on the exterior and interior is ongoing.

Greybox on an upcoming vehicle progressed. Testing was done simultaneously on the modeling process to see if the team can reduce the LOD impact on production once they arrive at the final-content phase.

VFX:
"work began on several new vehicles, including one with unusual thrusters."


The upcoming vehicle in Greybox is likely to be the "RSI Lynx rover", due to complete work late this month\early next month.

Good catch ! Now I wonder what is it. With such a name, another tank? (That's not a ship I know^^).
It's hard to tell what it could be, based on just the name. It could be (among other possibilities):
Fury -> Rage (combat)
Fury -> Force (tractor beam focussed) - Possible multi-crew "SRV" style vehicle with larger\multiple tractor beams
Fury -> Tear apart (salvage\ship breaker) - intermediate salvage ship (between Vultureand Reclaimer)

Given MISC aren't really a combat focussed manufacturer, I'd normally be more inclined to go with either the "force" or "tear apart" options, particularly given the gameplay changes in 3.18\3.19. This would mean the "Force" option is most likely given CIG stated there were no more salvage ships on the horizon in the recent "Jump Point"... Of course, I could be wrong and we'll get our first combat specific ship line from MISC.

Then, there's the Fury -> Something completely unrelated (along the lines of Expanse="Refinery"), which makes anyones guess equally likely to be correct, keeping in mind the statement in "Jump Point" about no "unannounced" ships for salvage (and related careers like repair/refining) in the pipeline\planned.

If it is a fighter, and a Misc fighter takes the spirit of the Xi'An fighters already released, perhaps there is something in the name "Fury" along the lines of the Babylon 5 Starfury...?

Or not. The most consistent naming scheme in SC is Origin and that's only because it's numbers. The Hurricane is an Anvil fighter, the Cyclone a Tumbril car, the Ares a Crusader fighter, the Orion an RSI miner.

Prepare ourselves for that Big Bennys delivery ship they made the Skin for.
