Default Looks wider

Maybe it’s the image but the car on the far right looks wider than the others. Also, it looks like it’s hiding something else under the backside engine cover.

Car design is just too hard- everything really matters, down to centimeters. When you think you have done a perfect job there will be someone who doesn’t like it at all!

It's not wider, it's not a "Z06" as they all have the same wheels we've seen all along. The rear camo is different because it's the convertible.

The rear at a glance would make a nice pick up bed! At first glance reminded me of a El-Camino.

Like the others have posted,the middle car is the coupe,
the 2 outer cars are the convertibles.
Corvettes without the rear hatch seem wider from a back view.

I'm getting the feeling that when all of the camo comes off, this car will be really, really nice. Some of the details we are seeing more of look great. There was a time I was worried... I'm not any longer.

Best render I've seen. It may have already been posted somewhere in the C8 section, but I hadn't seen it yet.

Not bad, but way too much C7 "tacked on" aero widgets. I think the C8 will be much more fluid and cohesive.

It's looking a lot better without that wing, in my opinion.

The side coves are getting more and more funky as we go forward... they're adding more bulk to the door top area.

Looks like two cars with Wing removed or retracted and two with wing added or deployed. I'm betting active aero with the wing.
