Car has a lot of Marinara Sauce, good thing that its front end is as attractive as the F12.

Looks good so far! Was never concerned about the front and the rear is still questionable (not the taillights, just over-designed).

Looks good from this perspective, but seeing how it all flows together (profile and 3/4 shots would be nice) and from more reasonable perspectives (ex: not laying on the ground) will be key.

That looks so badass. This is going to show us the difference between a render and the real thing, no matter how close, is no match.

edit: I was referring to the front. Still not sure about the rear.

A lot of black plastic in that grill opening. I would change it out the minute someone came out with a billet grill or anything else to get rid of all that plastic. The upper part of the 2 layered horizontal grill looks fake.

Looks good.

Looks a lot like looking at my current ZR1 from that angle/height.

After further inspection, this is definitely a drawing. A good drawing though!

The Automobile magazine's rear shot looked like a drawing too.

Maybe the magazines didn't get pictures after all?

I still think my C6 is gorgeous. So what, a new model comes out and we are supposed to start hating what we have?

And still looks like a true Corvette.

Yep. Seeing the "real thing" Sunday night will still be exciting. There will be details that we still haven't seen yet revealed Sunday.

Def corvette, but uuuuuuuhg it's got that stupid new viper look from that angle. In fact it's really freakin close, between the led's, bottom bumper lip that is a splitter itself, and the grill that isn't quite rectangular. I figured with the viper being more flowy, and the c7 being more angular, they'd really separate from each other looks wise now. From this angle, not so much. But it is just a drawing, so we'll have to see.

And showing the cover with the rear, then cover with the front, they could be two totally different cars. I lost hope long ago, but won't know till Sunday...
