Very possible, but if the driver front tire was on the lower gravel and the passenger front tire was on the higher pavement that would only compress the passenger front suspension more. Only way this could be an illusion is if the driver front tire is on the pavement and, because of the angle the passenger front tire would be extended further to meet the tire to the pavement. Still very possible though.
I think we can both agree that it is most likely due to suspension movement.
From the additional pics of the car on pavement, it appears that the stance is correct.

Assuming they are willing to deal with the required SRS that would come with it, that the C6 ZR didn't have to deal with.
I really hope they offer it. I like the added structural integrity of it.

Thanks for posting the pics NewYuriCity.
Question: If they do hot weather testing the Death Valley area, as often happens, do you think they'll have to remove more of the black cladding to expose the actual air intakes etc? Gotta make sure those work as intended under extreme conditions, right? If so, that might give us a clearer idea of the body design even with the swirly B&W camo wrap still in place.

So there is a limit to it's size. Not a mystery. The space will be similar to that for the convertible, and still leaving space for the golf club trunk

Yes, it would look awkward if the B pillar was visible and the cut line didn't line up with it. But once the vinyl camo is removed the B pillar will likely be hidden by a tinted glass continuation of the door glass as on the C7. Then the "shorter" lift-off panel won't look so wrong - plus it will be small and light, easy to stow.

And while there could be a targa body style, the roof doesn’t have to be one piece. The 918 Spyder, for example, uses two overlapping panels as a removable roof.
