They just can't seem to capture the side intake. They'll probably keep guessing until 7/18.

No one can believe that the side scoops are as ugly as the Camo car shows.

 

Looks big to me. Hard to tell though.

 

thats the ugliest rendering yet!

 

And yet they keep trying.

 

Maybe the side intake is really an optical illusion and that is why everybody sees something different?

Mayor with more baseless derogatory comments about a car none of us have ever seen. Shake. My. Head.

 

WHERE?

 

GOT YOUR BACK MAYOR!

 

Too bad for you!

 

I am sure there must be someone here that could put an end to all this , but I am sure has been sworn to double pinky swearing secrecy!!! LOL

 

July 18.....

 

Competition for The Open Championship for viewership. ;-)

 

I sure hope Chevy nails it. I loved the C7 and thought it was a good looking car. The only thing else that GM makes that is attractive are the Cadillacs. Not sure who is in charge of Chevy design but they at least need a vision test. Some of them are so bad I get depressed.

 

Who’s good at photoshop ?? I’ll tell you what to do to get accurate rendering based off of leaked descriptions. I don’t know photoshop or I would do it.

 

FVS from the mid engined corvette forum, put together this well thought out render compiling leaked photos of various panels and CAD drawings of the c8.

Pretty sure this is as close to what we’ll get from until next month.

Same render but in black:

Not bad. The first thing to attract my eye is that center crease in the door just below the round emblem. IMHO, it might look better if that crease were a little more horizontal and converge more with the lower door cut instead of being parallel with it and rising so much. Just my 2 cents.

 

When you want to hide the way a car looks, paint it black.

 

The curve of the viper needs to be put in place as was said. Flip it on both axis.

 

I don't know why so many of the current ME designs have such an awkward look in the area forward of the rear wheels and behind the rear door edge. This is just another of those disproportionate messes.

Regardless, it looks like someone took an awful lot from a 458 for this iteration. Not bad, but nothing I am running out to put an order on.

 

Hard to tell much from the renders. Its all about proportions and lines, by definition the renders don't have that.
What we can say though is after seeing the new hybrid ferrari, the vette team would have to make a real mess of things for it to look worse.

 

I'll bet that it is an inverse of the window contour, just larger.

 

Look at the photos that are on the original post on this thread for better idea on the panel breaks on this car. The Rear fender has a panel break that is very close to the rear tire.
