Hear, Hear! Those pics are definitely Photoshop modified.

If it was photoshopped, let's hope next time they remove that back wiper cause it sure looks ugly!

My bet after really looking at the pictures is this thing is a hacked image of a 997, just take a real close look!

Those pics do look photoshopped, but it might have been to take off some light camo. I really doubt Porsche will keep those gills on the turbo intake. And what is that small bump on the lower edge of the front bumper? Fog lights?

I don't know if it is photoshopped or not but I'll just say this: on the benz forum a few months ago people posted pics of the newly redesigned S class. Every one and their uncle was saying that the pics were photoshopped. Then MB released the pics of the new W221 and, lo and behold, they were identical to the "photoshopped" ones.

They are photoshopped.....they appeared in Car and Driver last month and the editors said the pics had been manipulated to take off the camo. They were not trying to fool anyone.
