My friend has the GT2 RS. Quite the beast. A very noteworthy competitor.

New Tail Lights

New Tail Lights

Definitely smoked. Makes sense like other C7 gen Z. Had to tell but with the 4 x holes curious to see if it’s a complete departure from the current C8 lights. Can’t wait !

Hard to tell with just cutouts in the camo... And the front car is cut out differently as well...

 

[Sparro]

There is so much padding under the camo its hard to tell whats what. Similar to how the Stingray was at the beginning. I highly doubt the tail lights will be a different design. If anything they'll be white or smoked.

All we can really determine from the recent spottings is the wider rear and tires.

Maybe the Z06 will have air scoops on top of the rear fender and a different hood?? A carbon ceramic brake package with lighter wheels and tuned suspension for a more orientated track use would also be nice. And finally, a 5.5 L N/A flat crank engine with about 600 hp and a 9000 rpm redline to top things off. I'm guessing the car could loose about 100 - 150 lbs with some of these changes. Add $20,000 to the price and we're there.

The C8R has apparently a cooler in the front that ducts to the back. So the frunk will be lost and utilized to gain extra HP cooling if the Z mimics the R ..

I wouldn't count on losing the frunk on a Z06... the trunk maybe, but not the frunk.

To follow on , this video gives a good argument that the Z06 will be turbo, and have active aero! ( I'm saving my pennies in preparation of buying one ).

I very much doubt it'll have twin turbos AND active aero, would cost way too much.
