Default Spy shots - 04/01/2019

I clearly told you all that was not the production steering wheel, and this one is. Also, the digital cluster. (-_-)

Looks like the reverse mirror is confirmed to be a camera. That's a nice feature.

It's the same steering wheel as in the first interior leak. What's your point?

The photos are legit, but the only "new" stuff is verifying a camera-enhanced rear view mirror and some of the digital dash display.

Dude, it's the same wheel that we saw before, right down to the taped-over Zora button.

Anyways, nice instrument cluster, but not up to the level of Audi or Mercedes Benz. It looks like the Mustang GT's IC might be a little better but we'll need to see the C8's in better detail to know for sure.

The rearview mirror is awesome. A pillar is still quite thick. Acura used high strength steel to keep the NSX A pillars thin, but then it costs over twice as much.

V8 confirmed. Look at the digital screen. It is in V8 mode which also mean cylinder deactivation

Really digging the rear 3/4 shot. Hoping there is a lot of padding on that front bumper and that it isn't so high in the finished product.

We have all seen the front... This is it... this is the car with the exception of the side inlet cove shape which I think they have moderately distorted on all the mules. There may be some subtle hood padding and of course production headlights, but this is the general shape of the uncladded front end.

There's some very minor differences in the thumb controls, but otherwise it's identical to the CarScoops leak.

Something about the spoiler in these new shots looks way different than what we've seen before?....It seems "higher" almost. Maybe active aero on the base model after all? It almost looks like its locked in the "up" position and then taped on the sides with camo tape to try and hide this? Something is definitely up with it though.

Looks like the car is idling at about 600 RPM, and the check engine lite is on.

Seriously? There is OBVIOUSLY a TON of padding on the front.
