Please don’t forget about this drawing- I still see this car under the camo. Please look closely at the tops of the fenders where the quarter panel meets the door then down to the side inlet, it just works.
That angle (with a long lens) is never very flattering for most cars, but in this render the ME holds up pretty well. It's distorted and the actual car will look far better. I do like it without the tacked on ugly spoiler, though.
That rendering is nice...Actually 360 Ferrari like...If its close to that I'm guessing there will be a decent amount of weight loss compared to the C7......
^^^ Eyes (headlights) are just wrong,
Side scoops are misproportioned and follow the wrong lines
There is no air exit in the bonnet,
There is no inlet duct on the hips.
Front grille is all wrong.
So, other than that,...........
they have old c5 side lights and some goofy square tail lamp trying to help hide the design.
front lights I hope are dummy as well as the photoshop example looks MUCH better
not feeling the testla partial opening in the lower grill and that seems to be going the wrong way for cooling but with the engine in the back that all changes
the camo can't hide the basic lines which look pretty good. Kinda reeks of old lambo gallardo in back though, I think a sexy tail on the old gal is long overdue and hasn't been there since 73
simple, clean, and elegant. The busy gills and fins do nothing for me and the aero vents can be styled a bit nicer and enhance rather than detract from the look.
seems to be trying to look exotic when most of the exotics are already butt ugly so they aren't real good to imitate.
less complex equal lighter and cheaper, leave the tacked on body panels and tacky add on aero off the car. give the car some flowing body lines that incorporate the aero and do the active stuff underneath and I think the vette will head in a very good direction.
I'm curious to see without some of the "intentional warts" and sans camo what the near prod ready design looks like as are we all!!!!!
You can see some shape if you zoom in on the side profile.
I really hope that the side inlets aka scoops are not that rounded droopy scoop looking thing. The sharp "open pacman mouth" looks more aggressive and flows better with what appears to be an angular design. That smoothed scoop idea would work on something with a more rounded curvy design a la C5 or C6...not what appears to be angular a la C7.
How about having air scoops higher so as not suckup so much dirt located just in front of rear wheel with the air inlet into the engine manifold reversed with a dual inlet and two air cleaners?
Thank you Motor1.com for blessing our morning with these photos via CarPix! These provide the absolute best look yet at so many features that I don't even know what to talk about
The side scoop looks familiar...
First look the the engine cover, rear wing, and the rear vents!
The best looking mid engine cars in my opinion are a little bit tough to get in and out of, and a little bit difficult to sit in. It looks like Chevy opted for interior comfort by raising the roof and putting more space between the front and rear wheels than looks optimal.
Of course, we will have to see the final versions without camouflage. Still hoping for a grand slam but these picks (mostly) seem mundane.
And it would be nice to see active aero. So much cooler than stuck-on wings.
And I’m still hoping for a very limited production, ultra lightweight homologation special in the first year. It can have all of the wings, splitters, diffusers and dive planes it wants.

The more I look at it .... without looking at it closely it does look boring, I hope I'm wrong but it does look like a 60k car, I don't see any supercar type stuff on it.
This doesn't remotely make me want a C8. I realize it's subjective, but I feel like the C7 is the pinnacle of Corvette design, performance aside.
That is why there will be a refreshed C7 in 2020 with the Cadillac turbo motors and 10 speed auto trans along with the 7 speed manual. Performance will be excellent and better fuel economy.

The inlets as shown are just, to extreme and hard to construct?
