With the truck driver removing the protective plastic in full camera view and no camo on that car, these look like a group of C7s being delivered. The second car from the front seems to have a higher than usual rear spoiler, but that might just be the way it's loaded at that angle. Can't tell without the protective plastic being removed. One thing is for certain, none of those are ME cars.

Take a look at the car covers. Everyone of them clearly shows the flaps that roll up to open the driver's door to access the car's cockpit.
All the flaps are located exactly where they are for the 100,000 C7's that GM has already built.

It would take a real idiot of a designer/stylist//engineer to move the cockpit forward to make room for the engine behind the cockpit, yet leave the doors in the same place as the front engine C7.

I agree that proportions of the middle cars look different but GM is not sending a closely guarded prototype car mixed in with run of the mill C7s on their way to xyz chevrolet.
I would have investigated more closely. The silver/chrome wheel on the middle car looks slightly different than a Z06 wheel and certainly isnt a cup
