Something's funny here now that you guys point it out. Take a look at the P1 in the red boxes. It's identical between the two shots (look at the grass markings around the body). Next, look at the grass in the blue boxes. They are different. Same P1 image between the two but different backgrounds from the same camera angle.

DJ, what's going on here?

OK gang, emailed with our spy photographer and he said in fact the images have been altered but the cars where there on these proving grounds together.

He noted to me that the background is the only part of the image that was altered and the cars were actually there in that exact spot, he went on to say - "We had changed the background for a good reason: It is to protect us from getting a bad surprise next time we climb that one tree that makes it possible to look into that very test track."

So nice spot guys, I'm a little embarrassed I didn't catch this myself! Going to go wipe the egg off my face now !
