" These shots don't let us see the headlights because of the cladding, but a raised section near the windshield hints at a large heat extractor in the hood. The obfuscation at the rear keeps the specific design cues a well-hidden secret, but you can see there are some seriously wide fenders back there. Rumors suggest that the rear portion of the roof actually has flying buttresses. A clear panel between them would show off the mid-mounted V8. "

>tfw Cadillac Cien will never be.

>adding more power to an engine that can't keep itself cool already
The memes will be delicious

" Rumors indicate that Chevy wants the C8 to debut at the 2018 North American International Auto Show, the company would begin selling it later for 2019 model year vehicle. "

>MR Corvette
GM making sports cars great again

" The 'Vette's classic quad taillights are also back there. From these images, it looks like the top half of the outer ones function as turn signals. We think the camouflaged section below the rear bumper is a large diffuser. "

meh it's never gonna be as cool as a ford gt

Are we sure that's not a gallardo

>this will drop the price of the c7 vette for us middle class fags to easily purchase
>then the c7 vette will eventually be a future classic as the last front mounted corvette

>code named as "Emperor"
>its an omen

I hope that it does stay simple in lay out
the oldest kind has a perimeter frame supporting the body and drive line
where as the more recent kind has the torque tube acting as the back bone to a uni body and sub frames

the normal problems with mid engines and the transmission links should be ok
given the experience corvette has with remote mounted transaxle up to this point

at a guess going on what principals I have derived so far
compared to current gen the mid engined corvette should be more stable under acceleration but cause more problems under breaking
the roof ends a bit too quickly
then again they have gone to some length to obfuscate the car

What makes you think that?

>muh dick

Look at the proportions. It looks terrible before it's even been released.

Looks better than any other mid engined car imo

You can't be serious.

You're objectively wrong.

why would they switch to an inferior layout?

>subjective tastes being wrong

Top kek
Just off yourself

>i think shit tastes good
lol, stay retarded

We know you do. It keeps coming out of your mouth.

>unironically this retarded
Stay triggered

sadly it is, v8 is superior to v6, just like how ff is superior to rwd

>Fastest Lap, (since 1989, pole position) 3:16.89. Switzerland Neel Jani with a Porsche 919 in 2015

>v8s are literally the most successful motors at Le Mans

Keep bench racing and moving goalposts cuck.

>People actually being loyal to a cylinder number and layout
>People actually thinking their preference, owner of one or not, is the best preference.

I know this is Veeky Forums, but have some fucking self-respect and at the very least come up with some pros and cons that aren't MUH FUEL CONSUMPTION or MUH DISPLACEMENT EFFICIENCY.

Christ fuck.

It's already faster though


Rotflmao

Rotflmao

I own 3 motorbikes that can beat any of these in a quarter. I don't care for cars nor their users petulant race for MUCH CYLINDERS above anything else. I know my dick is small, I don't need to pretend it's bigger than it is.

rotflmao

Your tears are delicious

Bow before your king

TOPTIP. They don't care, they're just here to shitpost.
You know, the old 'trolls trolling trolls' epic maymay.

Engine runs so how the camera is overheating.

According to radical's website, the RXC turbo 500R ran at the goodwood hill climb in 58 seconds.

radicalsportscars.com/news/57

nope, stay damage controlling

says the guy who told me to stop punching him in the kidneys, roflmao

It still has that C7 vibe to it. I hope they don't get that cues to the production model.

>58 seconds
v8s run it in 42

muh radical R version BTFO

>no! it's not true
Sadly it is. V8s just can't compete :^)
>time set in the rain
It came back and already beat the p1 gtr
Look it up

>V8 cuckolds btfo this hard
I just don't see how they can recover

That's shit.
Same time as a (v8) Bentley

I just did. No lap times on record. Not to mention it isn't even a production car. Only 21 will be built.

>literally slower than an NA h6

While the C8 maybe the Emperor, the Ford GT is the Galactic Emperor.

It already beat the 918, P1 and every street legal V8.

Stay BTFO

Rotflmao

No it didn't
Post the video.

>no! it's not true!
Sadly, it is. V8s just can't compete

>s-spoon feed me mommy!!!!
rotflmao

Then post your fake lap times. Radical still hasn't given any lap times. Only for the 500 which is slower than numerous v8s, hybrid, and an NA H6

Post the video user.
I know you have the link.

>spoon feed me mommy!!

>he has nothing to back up his claims but I do.

Keep it coming cuck. We're waiting for those fake lap times

...

>he has nothing

You're my bitch.

I know why you won't post it user

>THE SPOON!!!!

Last chance

V8 cuckolds BTFO yet again
