That's not it.

This is it.

We got the spy shots, the OP was discussing the latest facebook rendering. It's close. I don't think they'll have the top/rear vents. One things for sure: I can't wait (even though I'm waiting for a MY22).

That's exactly where the render started from. Good call

PIC HEAVY: I don't think so. I believe that the C8 got it styling cue's from a multitude of ME cars.

Seems almost everyone leaves this amber lamp out in their headlight clusters?
The amber lamps/reflectors are part of the cover. There is a pic where you can see the amber reflector bunched up due to the cover not being tight.

In my opinion, the C8 ME will look like a blend between the McClaren, Ferrari 488, and Acura NSX. The NSX took cues from the 2 cars mentioned (488 and McClaren)

Default The Facebook rendering is obsolete and irrelevant

Yeah. It's a nice piece of art depicting a fictional car. The real thing is represented by actual photographs.

i hope the facebook version is the widebody (GS) version. i'd have to have one that looked that good. with all the effort they have put into hiding the c8, i'm amazed that they revealed so much detail on the c8r. well, we have to see it all sooner or later. lots of goosebumps from that facebook version. go chevy!
