We will more than likely know what the entire thing looks like before the official unveiling. I can't recall any car whose design was kept a secret until its unveiling. Chevrolet themselves already have videos posted on their "one13thirteen" website with unlock dates. I'm sure those will give details little by little.

LOL, when you get a chance listen to the video(On something other than your pc speaker) and pay particular attention to the 37-40 second point. Pay close attention to the 38 second mark

Rear passenger fender and quarter window showing the hatch seam...which doesn't seem to fit well. Or else it isn't closed all the way.

Could be but seems really large...hard to say since we have no perspective to gage it by and the Jalopnik images make the grill shapes look similar in both. Both look like the ZL1's hood vent.

I gotta say this video reinforces everything I have seen in the original Jalopnik images.

Oh come on! A rev to redline in the last 5 seconds would have completed the video lol.

Those vents are from the fender. There are 3 or 4 slats running front to back. Its longer(front to back) then it is wide. Hood vents will be wider then longer. Again though, it appears to me they are "scoops" not vents. The front edge of each blade seems to be facing forward, not backwards to vent air out.

However, this is more of the same really. I know most of the advertising was probably already planned, but it SEEMS at least, that they're aiming to one up the vipers preview pics/vids. Of course nothing will ever top the amount of time and money put into the "2010 mustang unleashed" campaign...

They did the same with ZL1 and they sold a lot of it... still selling well. My dealer says, they're still waiting on ZL1 that were ordered.
These marketing videos are getting a lot of attentions. A guy at the Gym who was ready to buy the new F-type Jag, is now waiting for C7.

I am happy to see a video from GM. Renderings are okay but it's way more "real" to me when its the actual physical car being shown...or camo'd. LOL

Hard to believe it is just the 2 videos that suddenly have him waiting...

I really dislike that diagonal bumper to fender seam, and how it ends at the wheel well. This was one of the things which really bothered me when I first saw the Jalopnik rendering.
