I'm guessing they only print one set of materials, and as the car is European, where front plates are mandated in most countries, they just go with it.

Pretty much why it always says 'european model shown' in the stuff too, because it will probably have clear markers and no hideous bumper warts.

because a front licence plate is required by law in most states. I have received many tickets and warnings because I refused to put this on my other vehicles. I eventually caved and put it on the Porsche.

What I'm saying is, why is it on the print material though? Of course it's mandated "in real life," but why even in posters, advertisements, and manuals, it always shows the car with a front plate installed?

Because in most of the world, all cars have front plates. So how it looks with a front plate is the way it will look when you own it.
