Best render yet. Love those Ferrari type wheels. Do you have a rear view?
I changed a few things. The main engine coolant radiator vents are on top of the hood. This airflow goes straight into the side intakes. This is lower density air and OK for the low HP version. There are versions that have a single outlet on top of the hood where most of the flow goes over the roof which has some negative effect over the rear wing or spoiler but reduces lift over the roof. High HP version. The side intake has laminar flow problems and the F488 places the intake for mainly the intercoolers in a more efficient location. See cooler in front of the rear wheel?
I sure hope the side vent is not shaped like this. The aero guys and the stylists will have to duke that out. This looks good but the wheel wells are much higher than the street version. Street version needs to be channeled.
This section carefully hidden. Much CFD creativity takes place on the sides of street and track cars.
The ridge is for styling but it interrupts attachment.
Another view of the OHV C8 main radiator outlets.
The outlet over the hood will be for the main radiator for the high HP version.
Left side for C8 Z06 and ZR1 versions. Right side for the OHV engine.
Someone here said the placement of the intercoolers is more 'thermally efficient'. Watch out for the fake news here. This, together with the 5000 psi fuel pump is the reason I would never buy this version. I would get the N/A GS and loose the DI.
The chassis is going to be much cheaper to manufacture than the C7 chassis and a first in the auto industry. The C9 FE will use the same technology.
There seems to be some variations on the rear outlets. Diff clutches, gearbox and other duties.
There is no such thing as a blown spoiler. More fake news. There are proper airfoil sections at each side and quite possibly an active flap to activate the center section of the spoiler. Similar to the DRL flap on F1 cars.
OHV engine which I would buy.
The cavity above the cbr may have a flap that closes it increasing downforce and drag. I would hope the combustion intake would be at the B pillar but this could be it. I don't know what that ARB looking thing is at the bottom but a proper diffuser is called for on the high HP versions of this car. Heck, the competition has it.
fun? Speculation? It's just the kind of talk ya get when something new is expected. Plus, gm feeds this stuff out, they love it! Suppose we could just forget it till the reveal but what fun would that be. Lol
Nice, maybe it will have round tail lights. I had a Polo Green 90 and a Polo Green 93 ZR1. The 90 seats were the most expensive Corvettes seats to date.
I don't how it could be done but I hope the front doesn't look like a C7 so far it does
i see a family resemblance in that render; no more, no less. If the real thing turns out that way I’d be great with it. But then, I think family resemblance to the striking C7 is a good thing — especially if the hood is that different and the headlights have a unique character. Porsche has done that for decades and it seems to work very well for them.
Lord that is ugly. If they release that mess nobody will buy it. Well, we haven’t seen the rear yet. Perhaps those beautiful classic round tail lamps will save this god-awful mess from the dumpster fire

I agree. What disgusting design. Horrible. There are no upward sweeping curves to breakup that high waistline. The rear is as high as an elephant's eye. It's high, narrow and represents nothing about what a Corvette should be.
Presenting... For your review and comment... The CHUNK PARADE!!!

How can you tell? Only the front and rear facias will change. Maybe we will see the return of this beautiful thing.
Once again why does everyone act like they know what the car looks like?!
Funny statement, at best, as I never said I know what it looks like. What I said, and many in here agree with, is that there is some OBVIOUS line changes and hides going on with the current wrap. Guess reading for content is a trick for some......

The basic lines and proportions are not going to change. Chunky Monkey is here to stay.
