The renders of the C7 were nothing like the final product. Please just hold out until GM drops the real C8 on the world.
I say this as a Porsche fanatic: the real C8 is more beautiful than any sports car currently in production. That was my impression, at least. Maybe you'll agree once you've seen it.
So you are saying this render, which is hideous to me, is no where near what the real C8 will look like?
Do you know what to holes behind the scoop are for? I figured it may be for attaching a trim piece?
I note that in the CAD image ( bottom) the actual scoop opening does not reach the door bottom sill and shows the deep concave hollow under the door sweeping up as the render and Ring image show. The CAD also does not suggest a lower inlet for brake cooling but does show an upper fender top NACCA type intake similar to the C7. Any comments?
It's called 'boundary layer energizing' by the a bleed off at the second stage of the turbine. How the hell do I know? The camouflager dude has you fooled by adding a fake cover over the fake cover. Have you thought what you will do after the car is released? There won't be anything left to live for.

Car design is a mysterious art. You get 95% of it right and it sucks. Change a few proportions and lines by a centimeter here and there, and it's beautiful.

One area to investigate further is the shape of the side vent. Someone had posted a zoomed-in image that showed a potentially curved shape going deeper into the lower portion of the rear panel. Haven’t seen readers showing that shape yet, so maybe it was dismissed, but perhaps something to look into.

This one here?
edit: clicking on the image will make it zoom.

OK, I've read the thread, reviewed the pix and footage, saw the camo blow out and in in the 'ring footage, and think there might be somthing to this scoop nonsense. I took cues from the '56 Vette and am liking this.
The bottom of the scoop would naturally follow the crease near the bottom of the door. I lowered the top of my door triangle too. And being pedantic, I added a little ground reflection and a new color.

For ***** and giggles can you show me the same without the triangular winglet on the door?
I still don't think that's going to be there and it's all just fake.

The triangular “winglet” is going to be right there on the door; we will be reaching up underneath part of it, putting our finger(s) on a pressure switch to open the door.

Wouldn't it be moulded as part of the skin?
Every pic we've seen has it sitting over top of the door skin like it's glued there.
This is something like what I was thinking.
Please don't mind my amateurish attempt especially at the shading.
In this image we can see that the concave door feature terminates at mid-door and seems to be the shut off at the bottom of the scoop creating the ledge.
The very deep concave continues past the false scoop edge toward the back. IF the scoop continued down to the rocker, it would be shut off and very thin but "could" be similar to the C8R version creating a brake duck.... but there is nothing on the CAD to suggest this...but Zaro said it was an older CAD so...
