Couldn't open Timster's, but Frank, yours is from Brian Kuper. I'm a fan Brian's many works - not just because he obviously is a stickler for details, but because each of is works reflects the "many facts" that have been gathered on the web. His versions may not end up being dead on, but you can bet the newest one will incorporate info gleened from one or more of the forums. They are always possible based on our best info.

I thought there might be a little Photo Shop work done on that picture.
He does do amazing work.

PS
Sorry to those that cannot see it.
I'm not sure why? I've been posting pictures on forums for years. Some work some don't.

In order to see it, you have to delete the [IMG] brackets from the ends. That is forum code for posting images. Doesn't work with internet addresses. It's the same picture as Frank's anyway.

This is the closest rendition of the rear yet. I don't know if any of you remember I got into a huge argument with Adam Boca from the NCM about a year and a half ago at C/F. (surprised? NOT!!!  ..) I was at the Factory watching one of my cars get built in June of 01. I saw on the plant floor, a C6 rear end that I dont think anyone really noticed. The rear clip looked much like the photoshopped one in this photo. I do think someone finilly listened to what I gad said in that the rear clip has a slight "hat brim" spoiler much like in this pic.

Isn't the full length taillight panel reccessed, though??
I thought that's what made the hat brim spoiler.

The version I saw had only two taillights made to look like four. they were like the figure 8s turned sideways. The basic "idea" is still close.

Just last week Brian sent me an email asking about your description that I had shared with him months ago. Because you had emailed the "8s" and not posted, I did not give you credit by name. Hopefully, we will see another photoshop from Brian incorporating the rear end you saw. Of course, we all realize that you saw these a LONG time ago and the design could have changed.
By the way, the blue concept isn't quite right. Whatever the tail light design, Hill has stated that the lights will be flush with the body for easy cleaning. My bet is that there will be no "shelf" under the rear license plate either.

Bud,
Aren't you going to straighten us all out on this later today on your "something big is coming" thread?

My 2 cents:
I think it looks too Cadillac-y with the front-fender/side chiselling. The rear looks cheap and uninteresting.
I hope someone guessed wrong.
Waiting on Corvette 7......................
