So the vegetation is green and the flowers in bloom in the winter in Germany?
I too question the dating of those photos. Provenance?
I checked the weather records for the Nuremberg area and it was 0 deg C overnight in early January. I hardly think roses bloom in the dead of winter in Germany.
The car is one of the 4 that were seen in early September. I think the photo is from that period.
Eh that one is probably destined for the crusher anyhow. No point in keeping it out of the salt.

First off, running around AH is likely not cold weather testing. Cold weather testing generally is taking place at a cold weather facility, where the weather is far mire predictable. Many suppliers have access to those vehicles as well, we can't stop development for a couple months a year, it is just as likely they are doing something they could be doing in July, and it just happens to be in February.
Secondly, a lot of what happens at cold weather testing is traction and stability related, not just HVAC and fluid temp related, my guess is that any performance car spends considerable time in the cold.
I don’t know if it’s this ME pic on my iPad is distorted to look too long overall and between the wheels. Thus I measured the the roundness of the rear wheel rim. My results below then after adjusting the ME pic to shorten the length by ~9.0%.
Comments as to how my adjustment result displays on your screen. Interested if you see it differently.
when I say huge... the front wheel, then the door, compared with a c5/6 at the rear of the door look how long the distance is to the front of the rear wheel compared to the rear door of a c5/6.
The c8 will be much bigger than c5 sitting in the garage.
Speaking on perspective, I'm not sure which CUV that is (Forester?), but it looks TINY.
If the picture was taken next to an F-250, people would be crying "It's too small, where are my golf bags going to sit?!"
In this shot, it looks like Grandpa is going to have some trouble getting out the car for his 8am tee time...
