Hiding in plain sight?
I came across this youtube video where at 4:52 a beautiful mid engine car comes racing by the screen. Now if you slow it down you see Ferrari emblems on the wheels. Just today I heard a rumor that Chevy had worked with Ferrari in a tech exchange. So then I went back to this video and started to do a side by side comparison. It's pretty damn close, and considering this has no extra plastic to fool us, could this be the C8 driving in plain sight? Basically is the logo on the tires enough to fool everyone? It seems really close to the lines. Thoughts?

That car at 4:52 is a 488 Pista...If you watch the video, the car pictured is seen once at the beginning. If you stop the video as the car drives past the camera, you will see two exhaust pipes that are coming out mid-body. I believe the mid engine Corvette cars spotted show quad tips...two per side in the Lower corners of the body...please check this for accuracy.
The taillights on the above car look similar to a Lambo type of taillight...
There DOES appear to be another car in the video that looks similar to a Ferrari Pista...but I didn’t care, as I was waiting/watching for another look at the car above that was first in the video.

One man on this Forum has seen pictures of THE Car...could we please ask him if the car showing above looks like the car he saw in the pictures? He was featured repeatedly in a “Rendering” post about 30 or 40 days back...edit...the link above is a Ferrari 488 Pista...to clarify.

Sorry, but not even close to the 202 Corvette ME, nor a Ferrari Pista. Just look at the taillights.
The first picture is from the video in the OP, the second picture is the 2014 Lambo Adventadore.
It is 100% a Lambo.

Elegant, please look at the 4:52 mark not the photo in the video.

Thanks StViperVette for directing me to 4:42 of the video. I have screen printed two pics of it around/at that point. I wish it were the ME captured in plain site, but for various reasons it is not.
For example, the mirror stems are wrong, as other other components such as the rear fender and its major intake duct. It could be a Ferrari Pista however (3rd picture below) as its front fascia seems to be the same.
Thank you.
