Default Mule spotted! New photo!


Saw this on Instagram today!
Finally, we see another mule out in public!
Interesting seeing different contrast of what I think is fake and misleading body panel all over the front, side, and rear of the car! Opinions?

Wow that certainly looks different now that the camo/faux panels are slowly starting to come off. Im really digging it.

And a picture from the same post with the door open. Notice the beginning of the scoop on the door edge.

Is that a rear quarter window? Also has a different spoiler.



And that front grill looks very different.



Rear window very different from previous sightings.



A lot of differences from what we have been seeing.

Could this be the Cadillac version?

Looks like a pretty substantial rear view mirror to see around that big *** scoop.

Rear spolier looks lower. No gap in between it and the rear

Some if the earlier pics looked like the passenger side mirror extended a lot further out then the driver’s side.

I also think this mule has production headlights and taillights. The mules with camouflage wrap only have had placeholders for headlights and taillights but look at the headlight on this one, it's just like the C8R we saw racing around Sebring and the only fabric camo this mule has is over the taillights because I'm betting the production versions are installed.

...why would they make a Caddy version so substantially like the Corvette version.? Slight changes in trim would not differentiate the two at all IMO.

That would be my thinking, but the rear window/fastback and the front grill is so different from what we have seen. Plus no telling what is going on with the camo pieces under that wrap.

IMO we are only looking at different camo. The side Q window "dark area... fake, to throw off the real side.

New extended rear window camo to hide the real lines. We actually know what the rear window looks like from the patent and it is what we saw at the Ring.


I think we are seeing a bit more of the headlamp lighting features. A different looking rocker/sill. And there looks to be something now filling the scoop area. An insert maybe?

I don't see anything in the grill and tail lights. All I see is black mesh covering it all up.

...yes, the scoop overhang on the door is not as deep as it looks earlier.


...and just look at those arm rests !


There does appear to be a large fish lip on the nose now. Maybe keeping in the fish-like design themes ? ; )


Also blacked out the McDonalds wheels...
