This new render makes me feel all warm and tingly inside..
Thank you to ZoraC2. If the new Mid Engine C8 looks anything like this, certain body parts will be parted with and will be sold :D

Not too thrilled with that. 👎

Not until I see the C8 in person. And what's with that aero blade down the door length. Looks like a rocker panel in the wrong place. |

Neither am I.

Airflow conditioner devices and shapes have their very own descriptions. Blades don't exist in aerodynamic nomenclature. The only thing that makes that side intake work, is the Coke bottle shape of the car. Separation or high Reynolds numbers down the side of the car, or any car, is a huge aerodynamic problem. That shelf you speak of attempts to attach or reduce the laminar flow down the side of the car. The leading edge of the side intake is critically placed to cause a 'wash' or a deflection of the airflow toward the rear surface of the back of the door. There is full attachment at the entrance. The two things that are extremely detrimental to airflow is that 'Stingray' type character ridge at the top of the door. The shelf at the bottom corrects the damage this traditional Corvette styling feature causes. As for the 'beak' at the top of the intake, it can't possibly exist as shown. This is a high pressure high drag area and fools everybody because it is fake. No air will flow through that gap, it will only deflect, 'wash' up. Up wash and down wash are important aerodynamic terms. Newton 3. |
This looks just about like every other render we have seen so far.
|
It will look better with some stripes
|
Not a fan of the side intake, rear spoiler, or how tall/huge the front end is.
|
No pics, either renders or real camo cars, have made me say OMG that's looks awesome!
|
Yikes 👎
|
Yuck!!!

The C7 is looking nicer and nicer.

Up wash and down wash are important aerodynamic terms. Newton 3. I guess what throws me off is how prominent the leading edge is of that "shelf". It is very in your face, not an invisible line that begins and slowly, but progressively expands as it goes toward the back of the door. And why is it curved upward in the front and then come back down? Why not just start the damn thing where it needs to be then run it back and up the door? It looks too damn "busy" if you look at my photoshop below, the RED LINE denotes that curved "shelf" on the door. The BLUE LINE denotes a line that parallels the crease on the upper door itself. Why is that red line curved? I suspect, for proper airflow? https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...psrvfjajqf.jpg |
The back seems disproportionately long to me. I know they can wedge an LS3 into a Cayman so the engine can’t be taking up all that space,

Disagree. I think it looks awesome.

Looks good.

Sorry. That design looks chaotic, fat, and ungainly as all hell. Just when my hopes were rising...
