Oh no! In the first picture they're using duct tape to hold the spoiler on! Hope that doesn't make it to production...

Yes noticed that too. That is what gave me the idea of recessed lighting but with all of the "smoke and mirrors" there is no telling. Then I went way overboard and started thinking of the scoops on the F430 and 360 modena.

Watch the way the camera pans downward. The flow of the wind test also verifies its the front. Would those be the openings for the headlights? Surely they would have some type of 'aero' lens cover though right?

Anyone catch anything with the tail lights?

Maybe it's me... but?

Looks like a dip in the fascia panel and an inlet under the leading edge of the hood ala' Z06?

Default Mirror?

There appears to be a reflection of the smoke stream across the bottom third of the dark area - could it be the left mirror? If the camera was placed very close to the mirror looking forward with the focal point being the upper side of the fender just in front of the door, that would explain why, with the goofy camo, it all appears to be one surface. Or - it could be the rear side window which would also reflect - they wouldn't necessarily have cut the camo to match the window's actual outline. Again, the camera is so close there is only a limited area that is actually in focus.

I think it is an optical delusion caused by the funky tape!

Just look at it this way...the headlights were taped with funky tape (leaving a hole for light to get through) for the purpose of this video.

What does everyone make of how the very front end rolls over much more radically and different than the Jalopnick rendition. It does appear to me like the front end with the smoke flow direction.

But I would caution everyone not to be duped by air flow direction. Other shots may have the C7 aligned differently, even backwards, to confuse us.

Yes - it now does look more like a view across the front from left to right. Too bad it's so early in the AM - some wine might make things clearer.
