Tons of Today C8 Spy Pictures

[Zora]

To busy right now to import them individually right here (sorry), but they show the clearest ever shot of the actual front grille fins, the headlight’s upper sloping upward LED strip, and also the tail lights, so to see them now.

Thanks so much to Motor1, we have these just released ME pictures. Gee, what a pity, that some of the front grille camo came off. Click image for larger version Name: BFCFC5A1-AEF3-41A6-AB7D-D909BB554C1B.jpeg Views: 1 Size: 590.7 KB ID: 29107 Click image for larger version Name...

Looks to me like the license plate is hydraulic and activated by engine temperature to open and allow flow through heat dissipation... Either that or it flips up to deny recognition by law enforcement chase cars.... hmmmmm.... maybe another GM patent application coming up.....?

......I think you may right Rruuff, a temp compensator similar to the thermostatically controlled shutters on my '74 Louisville......

I just think it’s just trying to hold on for dear life

The license plate is trying to flee, to make room for the 2 large exhaust ports that should be in that space.

Good one AxeZ06. A little birdie whispered that when we get the Z06 version, it’s rear fascia would be different. I had assumed (based on nothing) that the Z06’s would be containing active aero. I do like your idea for lots of reasons. Maybe having both changes?

I have heard, a second time, that Maximum Bob’s comment that the ME costs “a little more than the the comparable version of the C7” (slight paraphrasing on my part), might not apply to the Z06, in that the Z06 version would have a lot more content upgrades than the entry ME, be closer to $95K or $120K (U.S.) to start. Again, however, that is so far from being confirmed — but interestingly two different birdies have whispered that to me at different times. Has GM even made final Z06 content decisions?
