It appears to be a trace of a pic of the C8.R taken in Wisconsin last week.

I don't think so. This was posted a while back in another thread.

Interesting.

The lines match with what we see in the C8.R.

So for the first time in generations, the A-pillar is body color. Interesting, seeing as the roof is black.

You had to edit out the tail. Was there a wing?

Like it! I would say those large vents should be good for about 30#s of rock if the c8 throws rocks like the c7

The headlights are copied directly from the C7, the hood is wrong, the fenders are lifted straight from the race car...

This is not 'official artwork'.

That’s very ugly, I hope that’s not it.

This is NOT what I hope the real ME C8 looks like. Proportions seem WAY off.

Definitely not the work of a professional artist, therefore not "official".

Nice sketch. Looks good although with the painted A pillars the glass roof looks a little awkward.

thanks for the fine effort.

no question the c8 will be a revolution in corvette design

I find the scalloped contour inside the front to rear side cove to be cool.

might not make production but if it does...cool

They couldn't even trace it accurately, LMAO. There are elements of this design that they missed. Headlights are incorrect. The little trim line on the front fender by the top of the headlights is completely missing. The side scoop's top edge they traced completely straight, and it's not completely straight. There is also a chamfered edge (angle) to the top edge line of the scoop too. The ground effects are all C8.R and the street version won't have any of that. The front and rear fenders look ridiculous as a whole for a street car, again they are C8.R fenders for fitting super fat tires underneath there. That front bumper is all wrong for the street version. Hood is wrong.

Lol, official my *****.

Let's remind ourselves what the official GM Artwork Releases looked like for the C7, it wasn't a po-dunk sketch Broberto:
