I dont wanna say too much until we see it uncovered completely, but so far I'm not feeling the new grille.

None of you guys see the trailer the mule is testing? It is likely this is just a grafted set of grills to allow air to cool the engine. Looks like they are doing load testing on the new V8TT

I would have thought so too, but what about the CS Concept ?

i like the low and sleek profile in the sketch and it looks like it's somewhat translated into the test car. and the rear end of the car looks like the old 7, so i'm thinking the builkiness of it is just camo...

That grille is not real. If you look closely between the headlights and the grille you can clearly see it is a fake piece.... They most likely put that huge grille on to allow better airflow during testing. Can you say V8 TT everybody??? I cant wait!!
