Well they gave us a pretty good look at the rear fascia and rear quarters.
Looks good.

Damn! I have a hard on for the front view now!
Edit: No way that scoop on the back makes production.

I know the engine report mentions 3 V8s, but that doesn't sound like a V8 at all. Sounds like ****.

Sounds like a high-reviving V8. McLaren sounds at low RPM, V12 sounds at high RPM. Not as good as the C7.R but certainly better than the Ford GT’s 6 Cylinder. I guess that it’s up there around 10,000 RPM, likely a 5.4L V8 if it isn’t turbocharged( turbos with such high RPM probably outperforms the power restrictions). I’m excited for this new generation, and this is just another drop of fuel in that fire. I like the low-pitch OHV 6.2 design that has been under the hood of the Corvette for years, but I see nothing bad about the upcoming DOHC V8s.

After Pimp's comments and looking at the new pics I refined this view a bit. Still not 100% but closer I think.
