I've been to Monaco. Had a drink in the square by the casino.
You see a lot of great cars, but never a Corvette.

The gas door is on the wrong side of the car too. Or did they use an Iphone to film the Vette so everything is backwards and they parked on the wrong side of the pump.

That's a C8 Stingray owned by Angelina Dimova and here's the original clip:

Here she talks about the car and I think she embellishes some facts to troll people:

Like her other cars, she got the C8 to engagement farm for clout. For example, here she covered it in ******:

It's a Stingray but the front end is from a wide body.

The outside world will never admit any Corvette is a Supercar. If they did, they would have to admit how ridiculous it was to spend >$500K for an equivalent performing car.

I paid $46,700 for my Ferrari 13 years ago. It's worth $180K+ now. I paid $70K for my C8 in '23, it ain't worth $70K "no more."
Been using Corvettes as DDs for 36 years - 8 cars, more than 1,000,000 miles. Some of us just like cars....

If a genuine Z06 front bumper fits flush against its wider front fenders, then it wouldn't fit flush against the Stingray's narrower front fenders by 3" total. Aftermarket Z06-style front bumpers are designed to fit the Stingray and solve this fitment discrepancy. That's most likely what she has, judging from her Z06-style rear wing which is also generally known to not come from real widebodies.

Actually the Brits get excited even over a base Stingray. C8s are selling for $300k+ USD in some parts of the world, comparable to or sometimes more than European supercars. In many countries, especially in Europe or the UAE, they're rarer than McLarens, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis. Japan has way more of those three Euro supercar makes than C8 Z06es (their highst C8 trim). In Singapore the base C8 Stingray starts at over $500k USD. To the outside world, the C8 is a very expensive and more exotic supercar.

Not sure why some are so confused by this? She simply has a Stingray ... wearing an Extreme Online Store Z06 conversion front bumper upgrade! Easily identified by myself since I too did the same conversion on my Stingray. Those are Stingray Trident wheels, has the Stingray narrow body with "boomerang" instead of the Z06 "wishbone" on the rear quarter, and of course ... Has EOS side skirts, and it has a Stingray to Z07 EOS rear spoiler. All of it wrapped in Pink Vinyl.
