Thanx for the artwork.
When I look at it I gotta wonder why so many buttons/controls are near the passenger?
Wouldn't it by more appropriate to have some of that stuff on the left side of the wheel?
Those buttons are there so the passenger can control the car as well - auto drive feature .

Indeed, may come as a surprise to some, but one button allows you to summon Zora Tundov from the grave, holographically of course, projected through the driver headlights, to give you drive feedback.
Like what you have done. I would expect that if the 2021+ high perf version looked as you have nicely rendered it, it would also have a good sized hood duct(s).
Looks great for a quick sketch. No separate radio/nav screen?
I'll be surprised if the car has navigation. I think navigation is going the way of cd players....by time a car hits the market, the navigation system is old. Everyone will use their smartphone.

And that is where apple car play comes in my friend, why not just mirror whats on your phone to your larger vehicle screen, I'm only seeing it on German cars though. Audi, Porsche, Mercedes ext.
I think Chevys introduced it on there pickups and tahoes, no?

Any Chevy that’s been refreshed or introduced since the 2017 model year(aside from the C7’s) currently has AppleCarplay and Android Auto.
Since first seeing this picture I’ve wondered whether I see a info screen peeking out from between the Camo. If so, It looks to me like it is not surface mounted but is framed fixed and standing somewhat away from the dash. Much like the trend by many car manufacturers where this is done. My ‘17 Audi A4 has one and they do the same now almost across the Audi line. Jalopnik wrote about this trend back in 2014. Has the C8 design team joined in?

As I've said in other threads, sometimes the camo is in place because the parts underneath are crude hacks just to get things working enough to be tested. They don't want people to see it looking terrible. So while it's possible you're correct with the Audi comparison, it's also possible the display is missing its trim pieces and it's only held in place with an ugly metal bracket which just makes it look like it's standing away from the dash.

How on earth is there enough room for a laptop to sit between the steering column and center console? I could barely fit a 10" netbook in the same space on my C7.

I agree for the most part but if you're reliant on a cell phone you're SOL if you're in an area with no coverage or outages.
Built in navigation systems (with map data stored locally) should however really come down in price IMO to keep it a viable and reasonable option.
Google Maps has the ability to pre-cache maps. I had full maps and navigation when I was in the Caribbean, despite not having service for my phone during the entire trip. I'd assume Apple Maps has the same capability.
The render of the C8 looks great. IMO, the C8 will be a game changer from a looks/performance perspective. Hopefully, they will lose the terrible looking wing. It reminds me of that ugly wing they added to the C7 ZR1. GM- Please keep it simple, stop with the tacky add ons.
Don't mean to be rude, but this render needs some work. Just saying. Maybe your base was a photo taken with the wrong lens like .35 or something. You can work from the white box and fix the rest. .
