New speculation: what if this car is the updated C7 interior? The console is unusually wide and tall for a ME car.

GM has not done a full "refresh" or facelift on a Corvette mid generation since the C4 basically. Not to say they wouldn't at all, but I see that as highly unlikely.

So we have two distinctly different pictures now. The second one shows a touchpad; the first one does not. The second one is actually closer to what Zerv provided initially. Note that touchpads appeared in the recent (dearly departed) CT6, so a touchpad is definitely within the design scope of GM. Note also the icon for a heated steering wheel.

True, but the 2 car theory is plausible. C8 FE successor to the C7, and the ME gets called Corvette Zora or something.

That also gives more credit to the 2 car theory. Let's take a moment and think: if he is not BSing us, and is right... then he saw a different car interior. Also he said there was four letters on the steering wheel, which could easily be and are likely "Zora". GM recently patented Zora as well
BG didn't have that huge expansion to make one car...

I going to go with a toggle switch to raise or lower the suspension.

I understand why people say Z but I'm seeing either a tach or a check. Idk.

Looks like a capital “N” to me.

Judging by everything else there, I'd guess the gap setting button for adaptive cruise, but too blurry to see it well.

Somebody previously pointed out the switch to raise the front suspension is here:

The Info screen stands out, canted towards the driver from the dash too, as previously noted. I outlined it in red. Zerv02 wrong about this detail?

I hope this is the case as one on my big concerns is too much signature interior features carried over from the C7 onto the C8 ME, this being a big one. I want a totally new look both interior and exterior!
More evidence?

I thought it was a switch for the frunk. Appears to show the front of the car with the frunk open, which hinges at the front of the car. And it appears that the one to the right opens the rear hatch.
