Looks like the Italian genes were a tad stronger than the German ones. Very well noted.

I don’t believe that is an accurate rendering at all. Not nearly enough Corvette styling cues.

OK. That looks fantastic. I've never bought an American car but I can't get an allocation for a GT3 due to the PAG/Dealership list games. This might be the track car I am looking for.....

Fair question. This is a render from Car & Driver's latest issue.

not that i believe that rendering is at all accurate, but am i the only one who thinks that looks horrible?? talk about bloated and tall. the proportions of that thing have to be way off. look at how tall the rear fender height is, how abruptly the hood rises... i'm sure the final product will look vastly different.
