unless we're talking about a '63, this is the only type of thong that belongs in/on/near a Corvette.

the funny thing is that when i saw the interior pics i have instantly recognized that i have seen that pattern somewhere else.
well, not only on Lamborghinis, but on the Corvette. not just this one, (also on the Corvette Moray)
i took me some time until i finally remembered where. the Nring pictures.
but had no time posting it.
still, the information has found you, i am glad you like it.

this whole C8 thing is like a riddle. like the Westworld series you can't stop watching cause always new things pop up.
and since we are here, I i have gut feeling that we might see this pattern in the lights somewhere. just a hunch, so please don't say later that I said 100%

Could this split window thing only be a three facet glass rear window? Down the center would be a narrow flat section of glass, then the glass would bend and angle to the side. All glass, all see through. Just different angles to the one piece glass.

Seems the vert will have the C3 "buttresses" at each side and the coupe may well have a split window. Neato.

There's no split window.
Notice the slit at the base of the rear window cover

Just a few seconds before when the car was coming toward the camera you can see the rear spoiler through that slit.


And a few shots where you can see through the car through its covering.

I'm now waiting for Corvette blogger's headline.
"Rumor is C8 to have split rear window and red line tires with knock-offs".

I believe this is not the only place where we meet this T-bar. Think as a designer.
There is only one original, enough said.

As I said in the steering wheel thread, the shape of the steering wheel watches that of the split-window and the pattern on the seats, but it’s obviously missing the long part. Just one more clue.

This is the exact same car savage99ss drew those blue lines on outlining what he thought was a structure splitting the rear window. Unless it's something that's as clear as glass.. it ain't there.
