One Vegas Viewer says this is it ....

[LongTimer]

From another source:

"Brian Kuper's version of jujubee's dated 4/05/03 is almost dead on with the exception that the air intake is a little smaller and the hood a little taller. Otherwise, looks like Brian Kuper gets the prize. "

 

[Rob]

Yep, from what everyone is saying on the web, the JuJuBee pic is the closest. If that's the case...

 

[Brett]

I think that is close right there, although since that picture is really just the Tigershark C5, the C6 will have a slightly sharper overall shape, like in the Euro magazine.

Someone needs to put together the Euromag picture with THIS front fascia, and I think that will hit the spot.

Brian, obviously, and admittedly, started with the Jujubee pic for the front, but he applied some edginess to it. It is my understanding that the Vegas Viewer was shown this pic and Jujubee's pic and selected this one as closest to the car he saw.

 

[LongTimer]

Here are Brian's latest guesses at the back:

I think he has missed the side vents, by the way. I think they follow the curve of the wheel well closely (longer arc) and a bit more shallow than shown.

 

[Brett]

The entire rear half of the car just seems way, way too high. I hope it doesn't look like that.

That rear end also looks too C5. I think if the sides of the rear-end taper in, with C3 ques, like in MotorTrend's guess, that would look incredible.

About the only thing that I've heard / read is ...
1. ... that the rear is VERY short (vs. C5) as Brian has shown here
2. ... that the 4 T lights will be flush with body - easier to clean
3. ... center exhaust - of course - so no "vents" in lower outer edges like C5
4. ... possibly some sort of integrated small spoiler or lip.

Anyone hear anything else about the back?

;worship

BKuper got the height of the rear correct but I would like to share my 2-cents:

there will be a center exhaust tunnel air-channels thingie like this but w/ the exhaust tips inside

the taillight panel runs the full width of the rear and is actually recessed within the tail. This creates a "spoiler/ledge-thingie" out of the area surrounding the recessed panel.

(like this, but on the back)...

The sides of the rear body do taper underneath, like in a '69 camaro

 

[budweisert]

that should create a little mor accurate mental picture:BOW

I think the added "edginess" is what the design needs, and I certainly hope these pictures are accurate. I am a big fan of the C3 "Mako Shark" look, and it seems that we are moving back to that more dramatic look.

I've been taking a close look at the front in the first pick. There remains one inconsistancy.... although this pic was identified by a Vegas Viewer from a long list of concepts, I think the head lights are still wrong. At least three other Vegas Viewers have specifically stated that the headlights are either, "wrap around" or "wrap over the fender". Brian's headlights apear to stop at the fender crease and are completely "inboard" from the fenders.

 

[UB2 SLOW]

I love Brians pics, but I agree with the headlights. I am still not too sure about the back glass either. What ever it looks like I am buying the ZO6 when it comes out

 

[LongTimer]

You make a good point about the glass. We've been told that the shape of the glass itself could be cammo. But CFOUR has stated that the hatch glass reaches back to within 6-8 inches of the end of the car, so Brian's pic is possible.

Cfour, please forgive if I mis-quoted.

 

[Brett]

I think Brian's latest guesses, with that back end, make the overall appearace of the car look like that of a cheese wedge.

I just can't see the glass coming that far to the rear of the car. Wouldn't that be dangerous (not to mention extra costly) if someone rear-ended you?

Longtimer, that is the first time I have heard that that design itself could be cammo, and that would make a lot of sense, because something about it hasn't seemed right to me since the beginning.

Someone - I'm pretty sure it was Cfour, pointed out that the C4 pilot / mules had a commo window over the actual hatch to fool everyone and that this was possible with the C6 spy shot cars in order to hide the SHAPE of the hatch. He was VERY clear that the hatch is DOES reach back to within 6-8 inches of the back of the car. I too was surprised thinking that this would add significant lbs. However, if you look at the profile of a C5, mentally take the hatch back to withing 4 inches of the end of the fiber glass, then shorten the endura facia to about 4 inches - it looks like Brian's pic. Also be sure to have a look at the New Mexico black pilot pics.

That should be it, I've already seen the ad for the new vette's
that same style. Different angle, different color. same car.
for a CHEVROLET dealer in the dupont reg, mag.

Can you scan it and post it here?

 

[81LT4]

I was looking at the book at wal-mart, Du-pont has nothing
I can afford, So no reason to buy the book, but after i look at
all the other's du-pont is the last to look at. I swear that is the car they use in the ad, reserve now as they say! It's a white one

 

[LongTimer]

I don't doubt that you saw it, but I doubt that what you saw was based on any inside info. Just a picture they saw and placed in an ad.
