Yeah, I think it will be awhile before the DP body work is changed.

Heck the Callaway GT3 is on hold until there is more clarification on the new GT rules. They will carry on with the C6 for now.

Looks beastly like this. Not too much clutter. Can't wait to see how this measures up against the other gts.

Well so far it has been at the sharp end of GTLM for Daytona testing.

As sponsorless as a P1 effort.

I don't know how much of a big deal the loss of Compuware is? Hasn't prevented them pulling off this beautiful car.

I like!

Noticed that the intake is not totally rectangular in front with some slight angles on the sides. Good job!

Is it just me or is this car slowly looking like it belongs in GT500.

I'm glad they have returned to a complete yellow livery. Can't wait to see Vette vs Viper on those Daytona banks.

The revealed car looks different from the rendered images. Namely the front splitter area and the color of yellow. The latter could be down to the lighting at the DAS.

Like the body look, glad they're using the GM rally yellow again, but it looks like a NASCAR start n park.Looks naked. Audi, Toyota, all these brands use more than just plain silver or plain blue. I have a feeling there are going to be some slight alterations still.

Might be because none of those renders actually came from GM themselves?....

Can you imagine how awesome a black version for the team car would look!? Corvette is at the very bottom of my GTLM favorite list (I like all teams, just some more than others), but damn that car looks awesome!

The lighting in the studio shots were fantastic. The lighting both highlighted the subtle ridges and curves while creating shadows that simulated the race grime.

Wasn't sure if those were shadows or actually part of the livery but they were shadows. It would be a nice accent to the livery if someone could airbrush those shadows as transparent gradients along the side and hood of the car. It would give the car motion while it sat still.

The C7.R is a beautiful race car. Let's hope it performs as well as it looks. Should be an exciting season. Very much looking forward to it.
