Your pictures represent two different versions of the Corvette DP. The white one is styled to resemble the C6. It first appeared in 2012. The black one (rear shot) is styled to resemble the C7 and it first appeared in 2015.
As for the ME, it will not look like either of these.

What I meant was the proportions would probably similar and the front end
Just seems like not a lot people know GM already developed a mid engine race car

Thanks for the images!
I get what you are saying.
While I believe the basic layout may be similar, as the GM team learned a lot from these cars, the cabin proportions will be similar to the c7 IMO...as it should be. The nose as you point out may have inspired the c8 nose in some ways. The headlamps have features that feel like the ME spy pics like the Tri LEDs and larger lamp behind. Note the overall shape. The fenders and hood may echo in the ME as well.
You can see that the front end does resemble the ME a bit and I am sure influenced the design.

The bolded might carry some weight, but the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) that follow/enjoy IMSA racing have known about it since its debut.
I'm a big Corvette fan and follow all the car news daily, etc.. and somehow I didn't know about the mid engine racecar until last year. I found out by playing forza on Xbox one...
So I figured if I didn't know, then probably most of the general public doesn't know

You can be proud of yourself: apparently you don't waste a lot of time watching racing on TV, unlike myself.
I don't think GM had a lot to do with the car, though, other than writing a check. The Daytona Prototypes were intended to offer a relatively low cost platform for competitors to develop and I think was the brain-child of NASCAR. I thought that they had developed a series that offered a lot of close racing and I'm sorry to see them go.
Several manufacturers campaign Prototype cars such as Acura, Cadillac, Mazda, Nissan, Audi, etc. None of the production vehicles end up looking like their prototype siblings.

True.
Those prototypes are purpose-built racecars not meant to be sold to the public.
Very cool to look at and watch race, but not something you can pick up at a dealer.

LOL...yup, Red Bull's F1 racer.
Oddly, as coincidence would have it, Red Bull is teaming up with Aston Martin to bring out a Hypercar called "The Valkyrie."
Please ignore the kid's annoying enthusiasm in this video :

This seems like this wasn't widely known...
