It is what the C8’s interior looks like.

It looks like the Navigator "Holy Crap" grab handle is gone
and they get access to a bunch of buttons instead ...
"What's this button for ..."

I am beyond excited about the visual confirmation of the front axle lift system! I had heard from an insider that that was a probable, and now confirmed. Happy Days!

 

[ddgermann]

Wow this is impressive to see. I love the seats and interior layout....except for all the buttons running up the right side of the center divider. Not a huge fan of that. The doors look great and I see the electronic door opener is still with us. Yay.
@flyboy999 will be thrilled with this car as I noticed a "Heated Steering Wheel" switch. Something I do not have on my 3LZ C7. (this is not even available on C7... correct?)
I didn't see any lane departure or collision avoidance stuff on the wheel but it may be in the center screen.
The thumb roller selector looks better as well than the 4 way buttons on the C7.
Ya Zora the front end lift is something positive to see in the car. I'm very curious as to the suspension control system overall. I bet there are a few new features and some cool innovations in this car.

Lots of great things here. From what I see so far this car priced right will be a massive hit.

 

[flyboy999]

Very cool. I like the interior colour too............

Yes, a heated steering wheel!!!! The last piece of the puzzle!!! LOL.

The interior looks very similar to the sketch drawing Zerv02 provided weeks ago............he also has indicated that a reveal will happen in Detroit..........could there be some merit to his assertions..........hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....the plot thickens......

Oh OOOOooooo someone just told me the check engine light is on ...
I opened the hood and ... it's gone ... ... no worries though
as I found a spare engine in the trunk

When we first saw the C8 key fob a few months ago, we wondered how accurate that was. Turns out, spot on.

glad I was born when the Vette was cause I seen the early cars, but I see nothing appealing in what they have changed into. Sorry guys but not even interested in sitting in one. Speaking of sitting, what is that indent in the middle of the seat bottom ? is that cupped out to hold a guys ........... ?

I remember the key fob but it really didn’t do it for me until I see it all together as a car ...
thinking anyone can mock up a key fob (knowing what my 17yr old can do with photoshop) ...
however I am now convinced on the logo and bring on what we see ...

I love the nostalgia of the earlier cars and being born 10 years after the first Corvette, grew up pining for a C3. I totally agree the C1, C2 and especially the C3 are still very attractive cars considering the eras they emerged from. The C3 especially survived the energy crisis and went from a monster sports car to a power castrated joke. But it survived and lead Corvette into the C4 and eventually the C5 when the power began to really emerge again.

I am somewhat perplexed at your attitude towards the evolution of Corvette though Michael. Corvette is on the cutting edge of performance technology in North America as it always has been. Do you think Corvette would still exist if the car didn't continue to evolve?
Personally, I love the incredible handling and performance, comfort and technology of the C6 and 2 C7s I have owned. Would I turn away or bad mouth a C3? Never... love them too and hopefully get a chance to own one someday.
I suspect you might feel differently if you ever actually found yourself into a C7 Z06 and got to drive it properly.

That indentation in the seat is there to avoid thrombosis as your left leg will never move off the dead pedal to do anything again.. They could at least have moved the high beam switch back down to the floor....

....if we all liked the same thing it would be boring, yes I am old school , I'm sure alot look at my other posts of my stuff ( junk to some ) and see no interest in the old classic iron I own. To me I don't care about speed or how many sensors it has to tell me what lane I'm in or a light telling me to change the oil, it is the looks of a vehicle and anything after the C3 to me is just downhill. I just bought a 93 C4 3 months ago , the story behind my doing so is shall I say a lucky accident that no one in his right mind would of turned down, but to me in short the car is not 1/2 of what my 82 is as far as comfort and looks and even some engineering, and it will be going down the road in the near future. I walk past every newer Vette in the shows as they just don't appeal to me ( just like every Porsch or any other european ) . My friend that I just helped pick out the 76 Stingray , he first looked at a C5 , like he said ,it would never make it home in one piece as it is too low so what good is it if you can't drive it in our part of the country. I understand Corvette like all others has to evolve , but they are making things so complicated and expensive that soon there will be very few buyers that can afford them . I posted awhile ago a pic of the concept car, a silver 2016 I think it was, that was a sharp body style that I liked all things considered and looked like the future Corvette that everyone would notice and say wow and just love to crawl in and go, but instead they went with the not sure how to describe it. Oh well, I probably just lost a 1000 vette coins for my views. Hope the C8 meets everyones expectations when they get behind the wheel .

 

[ddgermann]

It's all fine Sir. You are likely correct in that many do not see the beauty or feel the romance of some of your classics. If so, I suspect they are simply not vocal about it. I personally really enjoy seeing them and am enjoying the work you are doing on the latest project. What a great way to spend one's time.
Yes you're right; life would be boring if we all agreed all the time.

I think your Vette coins are perfectly safe... You never know; you may get a bonus for speaking your mind.

I was born when a C1 was still in the Showroom. I grew up with the influence of an awesome Steam Engineer ... my Grandfather. He knew so many things inside and out. I remember, as a kid, wondering how the heck am I going to learn all this stuff. It was As Overwhelming as my love was for this man. He knew automobiles, locomotives, power generation, woodworking, watches and clockworks - just to name a few. All I could really do well was to be a sponge for information and lend a hand when needed. Then he retired and I thought, ok I can catch up on this stuff now. Then no sooner into retirement, Grandpa sat me down and put a box on the table. Told me we have something new to check out, opened the box and it was the first retail calculator from Radio Shsck. We had an awesome afternoon and I was able to discover so much about that calculator. Sorry if I’m boring here as I have never looked back from that day checking out the new stuff and sponging everything I can along the way. There will be nothing like the past and I am glad I was there. I also cannot wait to see what’s new to discover in the box tomorrow. Thank you for taking me back as I go forward.
The C8 will surely not be disappointing because I have no expectations other than to be there to explore it first hand. One thing I have not done like my Grandfather was buy too many things the moment they hit the floor because for him it was something to take apart and put together ... where for me a lot is sadly made disposable. All good as I’m not making the old/new school rules

........your grandfather sounded like mine, not afraid to take anything apart and try fix it. I was fixing watches and clocks at 12 years old, use to order the guts from Timex etc. I took a practically new 1980 GMC 4x4 350 4 bbl and made a exhaust heated chamber and used a carb off a briggs & stratton lawn mower , hooked up a driving computer monitoring fuel flow and speed, I tried to make 100 mpg but it had poor power, I think only about 45 mph is all I could get out of it on that briggs carb running on fumes. Now SN-111 you got me thinking about the good old days.........sorry to derail the thread.

 

[YFCvii]

No derail harm ... its good and understood ... this C8 will be a test for me never before being able to embrace an engine that is behind me (other than when on water). As I am lifelong to only GM, I gotta check it out - hoping but not expecting to be able to somehow demo it. I do not anticipate the C8 will be on my bucket list for acquiring though. The Fiero never got me to turn my head to look at it closely but this will be latest of what’s new in the “Corvette box”. Seeing these photos today has me holding my breath for a dumb&dumber chance of the C8 secretly showing up at the Detroit Autoshow on TV along with a wildest dream of it being merely behind ropes at Calgary’s in a few months. Soon after that would come the return of Calgary’s Show & Shines with “the 7 C’s” that I already embrace

 

[Cruzin]

If the interior of the C8 looks anything like the renderings it will be a smash success. I agree with some of the replies in regards to the old school thinking in regards to styling and simplicity. I for one would love to own a 93 Stingray split window coupe. But like everything else autos have to evolve into the modern age of high tech and I am sure the C8 will not disappoint.

 

[nascar03]

Maybe in a year there will be Gen8 version of this!
