The new blackout option. For people who really, really need an insurance payout to help cover their car loan.

This render is one of the more plausible examples I have seen. At the risk of losing all my friends, I believe the entire design works well together, including the rear. The blackout on the rear seems like a bit of a stretch, though.

Because the artist's name is on it, the OP needs to say so if he modified the artist's work. Just sayin...

that's the best-looking rendition of the back that I've seen posited...not quite as intrusive/busy as some other versions...

doesn't look like T-tops to me...just a mid-roof channel similar to the C6.
also likely the same type of removable roof panel.

See that is what I am talking about! Everyone keeps bitching about a 2-D sketch with no depth, color, contrast between curves. You did a great job on this car looks fabulous and better then a C6.
