Just in case what we’re seeing on the track isn’t the real one, please make the C8 look like this (scissor doors a bonus&#128515

Umm no! Check out FVS renderings. Those are the most accurate you will find.

That's a nice C7 mid engine render, although I saw a better one couple days can. That being said, it's not likely to look like that. Well who knows, maybe it will but the front looks nothing like what has been shown.

No thanks. I prefer renderings I've seen from fvs. They are based on info we've seen, which definitely moves beyond the C7 "look alike" front end.

From a strictly technical standpoint, nice work on your render. Looks like you have some skills there.

No, the C8 is not a C7 look-alike.

Why? We pretty much know what it looks like, between the CAD, FVS renders, and now ACTUAL non-padded camo prototypes (incl. the C8R) driving around, these renders that keep popping up that look nothing like what we can see are pointless.

FVS work is close to what the street car will look like but if you derived the street car from the race car, you would get this. Maybe Pratt and Miller will offer it like they did with the Fellows C6R

Agree, the C8R looks sic and for those that can live with that style wing I'll bet the ZR1 version, or whatever they call it, will have one. Also, for a small fee I'm sure the after market will sell ya one too, along with aftermarket diffuser, front canards, splitter, wheels and of course some sweet molded mud/stone guards! Hey if I can get some cad drawings of very specific areas we can start 3D printing some of this now!!
