Default C8
I heard the C8 will have carbon fiber frame rails and a 4.8L twin-turbo V8 and a KERS system. I can't name sources obviously, but it sounds like it should be way nicer than the C7.

Any release dates yet, like when can we buy one?

I'm growing REALLY impatient now, where are the leaked Jalopnik renderings of the damn C8 already?!
