I always had a bit of sympathy for Corvettes, even the C4, but this C8 I can't.
You may say that I'm not happy because they moved the engine location, and in fact it is.
But not on a technical perspective but visually, it looks like they designed the front and the cabin and suddenly figured out that a V8 needed to be put at the back (and maybe the designers were not sure if it would be longitudinal or transversal so they make the rear train the wider they could).
I thought that this was maybe the pictures not giving credit to the car, but in flesh this is the same.
So very nice engines, nice chassis I guess, interesting interior but she is too callipygian for me.

That cabin & dashboard is far too Star Trekky for me. Looks like it was designed for teenage gaming nerds ...

New meaning to me, I always thought it was a Scottish pigeon smile Anyway - since it seems to mean a shapely derriere - I'm not sure it applies to this vehicle, which in my opinion is pyguglii biggrin

The thing looks cool, but it's just too much! I don't know, but TVR has always managed to make it look sophisticated despite its wild design.
