No all car manufacturers will put dummy fenders and hoods on the cars to disguise what the real car will look like. This practice continues to this day

Delorian meets Vette! Where do i get that body kit?

You have to Love the early 80's! This is from the 1982 article-
Voice-synthesizer components are now on the shelf, so don't be surprised if you hear about low oil pressure in the Corvette before you see it.
I can hear that monotone 60's Robot voice now;
"DANGER WILL ROBINSON! LOW OIL PRESSURE! DANGER!"

I know it's a disguised C4, but the pics look like GM was trying to make a shortened Firebird two-seater like the AMX, cut down from a Javelin.
