Still can't help it from being Fugly... I would be alot happier if they ditched the corvette syling on it. Let its shape be develop by the wind tunnel and what the rules allow. It is a prototype after all.

Looks awesome in person. We were in the garage right in front of it for the test days and it was amazing in person. The last photo does not do the car justice!

Looks similar to a Maserati MC 12 in profile. Google it before you judge me.....

The car certainly spent some time in the wind tunnel, and it wouldn't say Corvette if GM thought it couldn't win. That said, I can't help but wonder how much compromise went into the aero to keep the appearance. I certainly hope it is fast, as I expect that will motivate other manufacturers to make more attractive branded chassis.
