They used multiple cars it looked like possibly. In the road test scene, the GT did not have a Porsche emblem on the hood. In the last scene with the car, it had the emblem on the hood?

check out my daughter's show The Car Chasers on CNBC wed. nights and multiple reruns... It is as real as having a camera crew follow you around can be Plus the buy and sell numbers are REAL. Jeff and Megg actually use their own money for the business ! They just finished season 3 . And yes this year on camera they buy and sell a pretty nice Euro 928

I am not sure they are still in post production editing of the shows. Little happens in chronological order so hard to predict until it is finalized which sometimes does not happen until the Monday before the show airs on Wednesday. The amount of video they shoot is mind boggling. Six days a week 12 hours a day for over 3 months which boils down to 16 shows of 22 minutes each !!! So the final product is less than six hours.

Not free, but cheap, is Overplay. VPNs to all over the world. $10 per month, no contract (you can turn it off for months you don't use and then back on when you need it). I've heard tell of folks in the U.S. using it to stream BBC F1 coverage. Not that I advocate such behavior, as it is definitely a violation of BBC TOS.

My experience is that you get what you pay for with these services.
