Default C8 Split Window Render
I'm not big on a lot of these that get done but this looks great. The guy who does it has a common design theme which is very close to the back of a lot of Bugatti's but it really works here:

Interesting. I'm not sure the style suits the rest of the car but kinda neat.

I like the bodywork,
BUT,
the car is sitting too low for street operation.

Not for me. I like the C8 as designed. That said, take out the split and it looks good.

The sloping roof line to the rear bumper is a big improvement over the current flat deck.

It's just a render, and would never work. Not nearly enough venting to keep the engine compartment cool. And personally, I think it's ugly.

I kind of like the design, but it would have to incorporate a rear hatch not only for storage access, but also for service needs.
