I'm willing to bet that the green Render is 85-90% correct for production. Everyone seems to be claiming that its 'just a photochop' but it has ALL the appropriate design cues, proportions, and product-family references for it to be correct:
4 element taillights - echo Camaro & Malibu
Hood Strakes - reflect Sonic & Cruze hood styling
Proportions & Stance - reflect VF chassis perfectly.
If the production car is much different than this picture, I will be VERY surprised... and impressed by whomever has Photoshop skills this good.
Also, the brakes on the G8 GXP were 4-piston Brembo's... I bet these are the same:
The Brembo braking system matches the GXP's boost in performance with an equivalent increase in stopping power. The system includes 14-inch (355 mm) vented front and 12.76-inch (324 mm) rear disc rotors, with special quad-piston alloy calipers in front. The alloy calipers on the rear brakes have single-piston actuation. The four-wheel disc brake system includes standard anti-lock brakes and traction control.
