I know they keep a close eye on sites like C5 and they have the disciples to help guide them and all the passionate engineers, etc. Since they have a great car currently they only need to tweak the formula so to speak. Back in 06 they had nothing. Not even a current car to enhance or guide them. With such a short window and such long lead times I feel if there was a radical concept we would have seen it. (code 130R anyone ) When they are ready to show it to us it's most likely going to be the car you'll be able to buy in basically CTF form.
I agree with all that, but just to your original post I was thinking that if a "sneak-peak" caused a lot of excitement and gave the designers an idea of what folks wanted, why not have the same "formula for success" with the next Gen?

I'm sure they have kept all that in mind and what-not...Just struck me that if they had it to do over again, the car wouldn't look so much like the concept, and perhaps would not have been such a desirable, successful car...but, whatever...lol
