Is this real or fake?

I've seen this pic surface from time to time. Anyone know if this is the deal or a photoshop job?

maybe fake...but very funny.

Come to think of it, if that beast drives the front wheels while maintaining the mid-engine and rear axles, this would be a true-hybrid! Watch-out understeer!

Thats sooo fake. What kind of a person would leave the carpet inside the engine bay area anyway. Dead give-a-way.

I agree with ^^^


Plus, look at the way the hoses meet the front end of the bay. That looks very PSed. There's no shadowing or depth.

I don't know if it's intentional or not but you can see the reflection of the Vette in the Boxster.

Anyone who's actually seen the L98 in person can tell you that the scale of the photo is also completely off. The engine wouldn't even come close to fitting in that location, because it's far larger than it appears in that photo.
