Not sure the issues with the spoiler, it looks far better than any spoilers GM has given us in several years.

Pretty much discloses that the fake "lips" on the nose are, . . . well, fake.

Real nose is lower, and the maw isn't as gaping as some have feared.

yup... must be that new-fangled holographic HUD?

If I recall correctly, it is supposed to project the HUD directly into the driver's eyes? With lasers...

So...any takers on that scoop now? This has to be the least camo'd car yet.

Otherwise, seems to be coming along nicely. I like the C5/C6 styled "trickery" treatment on the grille area.

Well, just to play. In the photo below you can clearly see something is going on with the scoop 'extension'. Either them making drawings or a cover. Not sure what to believe at this point. The bulge is gone, that's interesting.

Camo and some type of fill to throw the WHOLE car off. Look how distorted the shape is with it inplace. Crazy..


Having said that what a nightmare the xpel is going to be to keep the stone chips from happening lol..

IMO the Base C7 without a full width spoiler and having just a small raised one in the middle far exceeds in looks compared to what I’m seeing here on this ME rear facia. A full width mini spoiler with what looks almost identical to the GM C7 Wing Spoiler tacked on top. And what’s with the open spaces in the middle? The effect on the ME IMO makes the rear look even bigger. Not good.

That wing, indeed, does look...broken. Granted, unmasked and all one color it may be better but...if that's what we get....eeesh....I'm not sure about it.


That being said, this whole SLOW *** reveal is pretty f'n boring. I hate to praise Porsche...but their approach with the 992 has been pretty refreshing...the thing just appeared....tada. Now, the 992 turbo just appeared...boom. This 3 yr spy photo thing is exhausting.
That's pretty easy for Porsche because it generally looks exactly like the previous Porsche.

The lines of the C7 don't work for me so I prefer the look of the C8 spoiler. Has a McLaren feel.

Looks like some of the scoop camo fell off:

Still no carbon cramics or even some simple drilled and/or slotted iron rotors. Just basic blank rotors on a base C8. LOL at $160k.

Yup - and apparently benchmarking it against fairly low level sports cars: C7 Stingray and base 911.

This is just the standard/entry model - and damned sure won't be 169k.
