It appears GM may be testing the active aero spoiler in this video.

There are six available wheel finishes, and Juechter proudly notes that “none of them are chrome.” On that news, tens of thousands of men in Tommy Bahama shirts just cried out in disgust.
The other wheel finishes

The C8's stout center tunnel, like the rest of the structure, is aluminum. While a few special versions of the sixth-gen Corvette and the entire seventh generation used aluminum structures, they still had traditional frames with parallel rails running from fore to aft. The C8 does away with the rails in favor of an advanced backbone structure that hangs the front suspension off a subframe.

A mid-engine Corvette, unlike many of its exotic mid-engine competitors, needs to be affordable, both to purchase and to produce. (Pricing will not be released until later this year, but GM product chief Mark Reuss said at the reveal that the car will start under $60,000—we assume that means $59,995 without destination.) Controlling costs is a Chevrolet hallmark, and the C8 is no different. It uses expensive carbon fiber only where it is the most efficient choice in terms of cost, weight, strength, and stiffness. Only two carbon pieces made the cut—a rear bumper beam and an underbody close-out panel that runs along the bottom of the center tunnel, strengthening the backbone of the car. With the exception of the two carbon pieces, the remainder of the C8’s structure is all aluminum: 40 percent extrusions, 39 percent stampings, 18 percent castings, and 1 percent hydroformed pieces.

The aluminum frame is bonded and screwed together and, without its top, the C8 is 19 percent torsionally stiffer than its predecessor, according to GM’s numbers. It is also heavier: Chevy is quoting a dry weight of 3366 pounds, which means a likely curb weight of around 3600 pounds; our long-term C7 Grand Sport tipped the scales at 3483 pounds, for reference.

I don't see how they possibly could have made a better looking car. Its stunning from every angle. Can't wait to see it in person. Why would anybody with $60k buy anything other than this? I felt this way when they revealed the C7 but this thing is on a whole different level. A marvelous concept finally brought to life, wow.

My favorite part of all this is everyone here was calling the next engine the LT5. Lol. Assuming it will be supercharged.

GM got you all and just made the next gen V8 and called it LT2.
