Sexiest ME render?
Sorry if this has been posted before, but holy hell... if the ME car looks like this, my garage might end up being short one ZR1 pretty soon... lol

I used a different pic and I see it very similar.
IMHO, your front valance is the most accurate compared to the images of the paint booth parts. I would think the designers would not do the large radiator exhaust scoops so that they might have "frunk" space.
Based on the spy shot here, it appears the top front fender crease stops right under the side mirror and the door is defined by two parallel major side strakes bordering a deepening concave surface feeding an forward-angled soft "C"-shaped air intake. If you squint, it appears there is a 2-3" wide insert that forms the intake shape and connects the top and bottom of the intake to the strakes. Seems slightly different from your excellent render. Could be camo like the old shots with the big door intake boxes, but this looks a little too refined for camo - IMHO.
I traced this off that photo. This is what I see.

The only thing that could make this otherwise odd copper looking C8 render any better, is if it were rendered in Arctic White!!

Really is stunning.
I like the mid-cabin forward look of yesterday's 11:14 PM post and mid-cabin aft of today's 9:25 AM post. Less cluttered but preserves the core design themes.
Who's the graphic artist? firstvettesoon?

Great looking, but I would prefer if the "hips" were moved forward a bit so they are symmetrical to the upper curve of the rear wheel. This might cut interior space a bit, but it would look better, IMHO. The rest of it looks mighty fine....

Ummm 2007 called and wants its design back! This is hideous!! It's taking designs from 3 or 4 other cars and mishmashing them together and calling it a design? SMH......some of us should stick to our day jobs!

I thought the Yellow one Motor Trend supplied a while ago was pretty nice. Designs should be more fluid and cohesive and not just mishmashing parts of different cars together IMO.

I guess you haven't followed the threads of these rendering posts. My renders are not intended to be an original design. They are intended to guess at what is under the camo cars from the Little bits of information we have seen so far. They are only intended for fun. They are not original designs and I have been very clear to say that these are mash up concepts. So no offense taken.
The idea was to take the camo car side view and use the proportions and basic lines and overall shape of the car and fill in the blank's so we could try and imagine what may be underneath.
And by the way you should send a note to Hennessey, because much of the design details you think are so 2007 are from the 2017 Venom F5 as I have posted in another thread. I used some of these features because I noticed that much of the overall form of the car and some details of the F5 fit the known details of the camo mules.
I guess those guys should quit their day jobs!

A bit Euro looking but not bad...but is mostly unusable IMO and the design certainly does not say Corvette to me.
The thing about the render I posted and the F5 design is that they "look" Corvettey IMO and with the adjusted proportions, it may be a driver friendly car.

Here is the original post for your viewing pleasure.
I was looking at different super cars and it struck me that the Hennessy Venom F5 shares many similar lines as the ME mules so I did an overlay to see what would happen if the proportions were changed a bit to make it a bit more user friendly.
Didn't spend too much time on it. Just wanted to see how it would look a bit less extreme and with the mule roof-line and proportions.

here is the overlay view for comparison.
For the sake of the hyper-critical, this is only a "sketch" of what could be under the camo. I am certain it will not look "exactly" like this and will be much better and fluid and cohesive as a finished product.
Just squint a bit. It will look "similar" to this...it has to since the lines and proportions are pretty close and it does look Corvette-ish. IMO, it can't be TOO earth-shattering and different or extreme and remain a Corvette.
