Oh man, it looks terrible in comparison to those Lambos's. Like a kit car. Shame.

Ahh, the Lambo's look like kit cars in camo as well -- just Lambo kit cars.

It's gonna look like a Vette. Back when Vette was selling C3's (which many here seem to love) Lambo was introducing Miuras. While not everybody would prefer the Miura's looks, perhaps 95% would? So nothing has really changed -- and the odds are this Vette will hit a bulls-eye with its intended target market (which I predict may skew a bit younger, but not much).

I'm just worried at 6'4" if I'm going to fit into a C8. I just fit in the C7.

Do we know if those are the real interior a-pillars and the front edge of the interior roof or just more camo to make it visibly look smaller from a front view like this? I wouldn't put it past GM to disguise those interior features as well.

Neither, its embarrasing to see it compared to such superior cars. Its looks like a 60k car, Corvette.

I really think many of you guys are way off the mark.

I am confident when the car is seen with all the trim and detailed body lines that GM will knock our socks off.

I don't think it will be as aggressive looking as a Lamborghini but few cars are.

I personally think Lamborghini look a little to edgey for my taste.

I much prefer the smooth lines of Ferrari 458 and 488 as opposed to the Aventador or Huracun.

I think GM will be somewhere between the radical look of the Lamborghini and the more sophisticated look of the Ferrari.

I would be shock if GM missed the mark on C8.

I like the looks of the C7 which was developed on a 250m dollar budget and from what I have heard the C8 is closer to 1 billion dollars in design and development.

That extra 750k goes a long way to make a much more refined look than we have with the C7.

I hope I am right but I think if priced at 80k and up GM won't be able to build them fast enough.

Some of us want Aventador looks on Corvette budget. I have no idea who

Lambos come dropped fairly low and the steep windshield rake is a well known Lambo design signature. Gives the cars that low/wide stance a lot of people like. I have serious doubts GM would ever release a production car with those elements for various reasons.

I also agree that the C8 should be compared with the 428/488 design, not Lambo. I did love the Aventador when released, but spending some time around them recently in Southern Miami I actually prefer the Huracans 'cleaner' look.

Thanks for all of the feedback.

In an attempt to steer this thread back on track, this was not intended to be a design comparison to the Lambos, rather a size comparison.

I'm surprised by the poll that high percentage of people think the C8 is going to be the size of a Aventador. Do you guys know how big a Aventador is?

vetteman41960

In my opinion too big. ^^^^^^^

ColoradoGS

Can we have a third option? It's going to be within inches the same size as the C7.

TSanders

This is what i believe also.

the camo is not hiding the high beltline.......look at the lambos, the front side windows start below the top of the wheels it seems from that angle while the corvettes start many inches above. The lambo greenhouse is awesome for visibility - the c8 while it wont be any worse than the c7, I doubt it will be much better. That said, this will probably allow them to fit more than a lunchbox in the front storage compartment.

C7pimp

No, they don't

I've seen several, they are very low, very wide and pretty long. A big foot print. They are beautiful too.


Aventador:
190" Long x 80" Wide x 45″ High (15,200 square inch foot print)


C7 Corvette:
177" long x 74" Wide x 48.5" High (13,098 square inch foot print)


Huracan
177" Long x 76" Wide x 47" high (13,452 square inch foot print)


There's your answer. C8 corvette will be comparable to C7 in overall dimensions
