If the 'Street Car' looks anything like this, I might be selling off various body parts and vital organs.....

Unfortunately, no. I have no talents when it comes to rendering. But anything involving a stick and three pedals, that's a different story...

Based upon the spy shots I've seen today, this has to be VERY close.

Where'd the concave rear fenders come from? Fortunately they don't exist. This render makes no sense; it substantially alters the body countours and adds scads of complexity.

Look again at the fender shapes on the C8R spy shots. There does appear to be a bit of a lip on the upper rear fender line that results in subtle concave shaping. Does not appear as deep as this render, nor does it dip to the corner of pacman’s mouth as in this render, but I can see it.

Is that going to be the 2019 Le Man's version with the #63 for Corvette Racing?

I feel a little lost by the inclusion of the old *** 3 dot leader lights..lol...who did this...lol? Wait a sec, is the WEC still running the 3 dots...that'd be ridiculous.

We know they are testing it. We also know that in theory, they can't run a different car in Le Mans in 2019 since it is part of the same season as 2018 Le Mans, so it remains to be seen when it will actually appear in a race. Best guess it they get a waiver for IMSA and run the C8.R there in 2019, and run the C7.R at Le Mans in 2019, but the inside politics of the ACO is a mystery to most....

Yes, even though the title of the thread says "GTLM" this is obviously a GTE-Pro render, with the 3 lights.

I don't know, but those two grill openings don't look the same AT ALL! Even if the leaked facia is upside down, the shape still doesn't match.
