Default C8 pic from this morning, nothing new just a pic

A friend of mine spotted a C8 picking someone up at the Nashville TN Airport early this morning before daylight. Unfortunately he only got a couple of pics from the side.

Yes, we were actually just discussing that, he said the screen was huge.

Nashville?

Wouldn't be suprised if it was Jack White - he's got some benifits w/ GM and he's a huge car guy.

He had a C7 in one of his videos right after the reveal (long before they hit the streets)

Nice catch. I'm not sure that screen in the middle is the infotainment screen though. Looks more like a laptop screen. Look at the icons in the lower left corner, looks to be a laptop.

It should have GM's latest infotainment which has a row of icons at the bottom left:

He had a lot of the information correct but said he could not draw it exactly right. The version he saw had 1 U shaped hood vent. We have not seen a hint or clue of this yet. Others have claimed no hood vent and others claimed dual hood vents like the Lotus.


For the side scoop, he did not see the car from the angle of the drawing. He drew over my drawing which he said was closest at the time, and revised it with the hood vent and scoop as best he could. The shape is not correct according to him but that it "reminded" him of the LaFerrari... starting on the door and that it looked BIG from a frontish view...

We shall see in about 36 hours!

Pimp's drawing has the scoop flowing into the side skirt and the door middle character line flows into the scoop. It also has a hood vent. I'm betting he saw a Z06 version. The car could ditch the Frunk and have a hood vent and the scoop is very similar to the C8R (flowing into the skirt) whereas we basically know the standard car will have the bottom of the scoop flowing into the door character line.

I wonder if they were picking up someone flying back from the Nurburgring. Nashville is only about an hour from Bowling Green.
