Thanks for sharing,
Interesting to see the new 992 carrera chasing it.

Nice, on some of the stills you can get a really good look at how much the fake covering over the side scoop is distorting. That should give us a decent idea of the actual shape of the scoop. I think it's going to be like this Car and Driver render... https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod...1526569843.jpg

I'm starting to think that render is probably like 90% accurate. Some of the proportions are obviously different, but the general idea looks really accurate.

There’s nothing fake on the car except reflective camo.

Anyone notice how much faster the Vette was at that corner compared to the new 911 behind it? Wonder if the 911 was pushing it too

No denying the car has more ground clearance then the C7.

I'm not so sure about that. Starting right about 0:20 the stills show some obvious distortion in the side scoop. It's easy to see with the video in full screen mode. It's really apparent in the pic where the car is driving away from the camera. I outlined it here. Something is going on there. It looks like the scoop is mostly a soft skin that is sort of "ballooning" out from the air pressure.

Maybe some active aero thing? Its really noticable here

I can’t say 100% sure,great point ,another forum member pointed out the same thing ...The camo is definitely tricked out to the gills.

How about what we thought was the rear quarter window...is it active aero?
Thats the spider version.

I actually had to google/YouTube this (I'm not a Star Wars expert) and found this... go to about :40 and check the various samples


Great call!

Perhaps GM has outfitted the C8 with Twin Ion Engines!

Thanks. I hope this is the N/A pushrod/ manual version. Notice how it leans and pitches? I love compliance for a street car which Vettes have had since the C5. This is the one I'll get.That means it doesnt have Magna shocks like other vids show. Front and rear diffusers need pitch and roll control to function.

What if it’s a similar side panel like the new R8, it protrudes out in the same area? Audi lets you change the color of the side scoops one option is Carbon Fiber, my R8 had the carbon fiber option.

Tie figher C8 at 28 seconds in the video, lol!

PERFECT!

It's going to be a beautiful car! The camo job they've done is amazing at concealing the final look!

After looking through some of yesterday’s posts by Zaro,
It almost 100% proves that you and a few of the others were right about the scoop lines.

The scoop will be like the McDonald’s spy pictures.

I think so too smithers. Everything is off by inches and curves /angles are wrong but it has the “look”.
