Not that body panels can’t change during development, but as of last winter, we clearly see that at that time there was then no part of the large intake scoop on the door itself.

True. The kick sill was also completely different.
I have no proof, but from what I've seen of these images, it looks like it could very well be a camouflage version of the original Holden mule seen below.
Here is the original post for your viewing pleasure.
I was looking at different super cars and it struck me that the Hennessy Venom F5 shares many similar lines as the ME mules so I did an overlay to see what would happen if the proportions were changed a bit to make it a bit more user friendly.
Didn't spend too much time on it. Just wanted to see how it would look a bit less extreme and with the mule roof-line and proportions.

Although the last Holden was built in October last year, Holden still exists. Maybe the C8 ME was designed at the existing Holden Design Studios. Good catch.
I said a long time ago that GM could contact me. I even said that they could use parts of my designs as long as I am fairly compensated for it.
To whoever has made negative comments to me, the Dos Equis man has a comment for you two pictures down.
Dude, can you please stop? Some people actually want to see this thread continue, unlike your other one that was a complete mess and was locked. We get it, you're a hero in your own mind, now go away.

This is where your "Ignore List" really helps out. Give it a try... worked for me.
A huge thank you to the CVF Moderator(s) who put someone on vacation (as confirmed by comparing my earlier screen print of posts # 113 & 114 made by person “X” to what is now in those posts — wuith current posts now by different persons).

Hey, I just realized something. If you look closely and long enough at the Holden mule in the photo, you will recognize that this mule was actually less of a ME platform riding under a Holden ute, then Holden body panels actually bolted onto a pre-existing car. No joke, what I think I have finally figured out, was GM going to such extraordinary lengths to conceal the actual car that they went to the extreme of bolting body panels from a Holden to an actual well developed prototype C8 that was MUCH further along than anyone realized at the time.
...I stretched the scoop as suggested but left the door opening out because I don't think they would split the scoop..would they?
Not sure if GM would, but it's been done by Ferrari. Have a look at the pics below of the LaFerrari side scoop.
Also, I found the pic of the Ferrari's door edge when opened interesting. Especially when considering how the C8 test mule door edge looked when it was opened. The mule's scoop could easily be as "dramatic" as the Ferrari's, and it was just "covered" by a camo panel.
