So this is the second time I have seen this image and I don't recall seeing any threads about it here, so I figured I would post it up and see what others think.

In this pic, there appears to be a C8 with a very wild diffuser and different wheels from what the ZR1 will have. Does anyone know anything about this particular test mule?

Doesnt look like a c8 to me

You're right.
It actually looks pretty good.

Ahhhh C9 test mule??

Exhaust through the trunk area? Not a Corvette, imho. Much more likely that's a mule for the Huracan successor.

Just about positive that's the Ferrari F250.

Curved roof, so not a C8, and not Labmborghini's design language.

Ferrari test mule to my eye

On second thought, yeah, I agree. Looks like black canvas over the gradient polka-dot wrap that the test mule has. And the round exhaust vs. Lambo's hexagonal one.

Before your edit, I went to double check. It's a Ferrari as it was captured leaving the factory in Maranello (second image is reportedly at the security gate at the factory).

Ferrari it is.

Yep. Ferrari F250

Thanks, guys. The pic was within a Corvette article both times I saw it.

I knew it was too good looking to be true (for a Corvette) lol,, You golfers are seriously ruining the rear end for all us car enthusiasts!

I truly hope the Corvette team drops the 2 golf bags requirement for the trunk on the C9.

As noted that's the Ferrari (F250) mule to be revealed later this year. The hypercar successor to the LaFerrari/Enzo/F50/F40/288GTO.

It won't matter because the C9 will be electric meaning increased storage space over the C8.

It's storage for the targa top too.

Only if GM doesn't want to sell many C9s.

You are in the minority. Most of us like that our Corvettes are versatile. If GM eliminated the trunk capacity, they'd lose a TON of sales.

Ultimately, the "2 golf bag" capacity is a unit of measurement, and very few golfers carry their bags in their Corvettes...but the point is we can. I can also carry long gun cases which my Camaro ZL1 I could not. I golf (atleast I attempt to) and it is amazing to me that I can put my HTC top down, carry two sets of clubs in the trunk, a small cooler and golf shoes in the frunk. Incredible. A buddy of mine has a Porsche and anytime he comes golfing with me, I have to ferry his clubs to and from the course!

Anyways, GM/Chevy knows the bulk of their buyers want and appreciate the storage and without US your Corvette would cost a lot more with fewer buyers to amortize the development cost over.

Soon the rear will be designed for pickle ball as the owners age. Joints no longer work for golf.
