Though an Audi R3 concept car may exist, I still will stick strongly to the belief that the photo above is indeed a product of Photoshop.It is not a photoshop and is a REAL concept. My guess on price would be around 55k to 60k.

Certain aspects of the car are probably real and influenced this renddering but there are WAY too many red herrings that those two cars never existed as you see in the image above ... tip offs such as the positioning and reflections of the car in the background which is basically just an inverted and doctored copy of the foreground car, the cartoonish look of the rear view, the overly detailed badging, and the fact that’s the same photo shoot as the Sky!!!! (Notice the ground and the mountains). It’s definately a doctored Sky, in my almost professional opinion.
It may one day be built just as we see in the picture above... but I don’t think you could drive what’s in the picture until someone gets it from PSD format to the road.
Its just a photochop of a Sky, a very good one, just look at the tire treads, and the angles the wheels are turned, exactly the same if you flip the picture of the Sky... Someone is playing a big joke on alot of people with this... and to do it at the same place as the Sky picture was done would be too much of a co-winkydink....:jester:My point is this is not something that someone put together bored at work one day. It is on other sites and there is a good chance that it will go into production. Word is that KTM will have there hand in it also...
PS if you think that is real I have some oceanfront property in Arizona I will sell you...:jester:Originally Posted by Temple

No, not Arizona...it's Colorado with the beachfront property! Arizona will be underwater according to a Geology Prof of mine as lectured many moons ago in college. 53,000 years is "short" in terms of geology and change!!! Hmmmm...will the insurance companies still be around to insure against storms and plate shifting???? lolPS if you think that is real I have some oceanfront property in Arizona I will sell you...:jester:
Plate shifting maybe, but what about geomagnetic reversal?No, not Arizona...it's Colorado with the beachfront property!

It must be authentic, I heard Anne Coulter claimed to have driven one. I believe it was Bill O'Rielly that said it!It comes down to this... Some of the angles on the car are identical - the bottom line under the air dam, the fender over the rear wheel, the alignment of the door...
BUT also, the car is lined up exactly the same on the pavement with the yellow stripes in exactly the same relationship to the car. And, check the notch in the hills, and the shadows over the driver side rear-view mirror. Exact.
So... If it IS an Audi, then it was photographed on the exact same spot as the SKY (unlikely) with the camera in the exact same spot as the one that took the picture of the SKY (unlikely) with the sun at exactly the same point in the sky to make the exact same shadows, which indicates the same time of day (unlikely) and the similar day of the year (unlikely.) Looks like the same weather, too.
As a result, the Photographer had to be EXCEPTIONAL to exactly replicate the background from the SKY publicity photos, and probably wait months for the conditions to be right to do so. If so, one must ask "Why?" Or, the photographer just happened to be exceptionally LUCKY to have karma set the car, camera and the planets in perfect alignment.
But better yet, the photo is reversed! The same shadows and all, but from the completely other side. So if the site is exactly the same, then the car was fitted with one of those new-fangled Euro license plates that read properly in your rear-view mirror, and somehow the publicity photo got reversed left-to-right when it was distributed.
Have we stretched this to breaking point yet? Perhaps there was no second photographer, and it's a Photochop. Looking at the abrupt, vertical cutoff of a shadow above the passenger rear view mirror makes it a dead give-away. Things have been moved around (like the side mirrors raised) and other things tweaked here and there. But when enlarged there are anomalies in and replications of the shadows as well as clear, vertical edit marks that can only indicate a Photochop.
If Reuters would only run it then we would know for sure that it was fake...
Hmmm. You made me go back to my books and "the net."Plate shifting maybe, but what about geomagnetic reversal?
