Oh Shelby, why oh why - Called out for front ending lifting photoshop
Shelby admits to Drive On at USA Today that front wheels were lifted by image editing software, not the 950HP engine.

Shelby American acknowledged Tuesday afternoon that it faked photos of the front end of its new 950-horsepower Shelby 1000 lifting off the ground.

Two of the photos were distributed to the press as part of a group of shots and were being used on many websites. They show the two front wheels of the customized Mustang lifted several inches into the air, presumably because of the car's immense thrust. A company vice president, Gary Patterson, acknowledged in an email to Drive On that they they were the result of photo manipulation....

Shocking car makers lie in order to get people to buy cars from them.

 

lol....

 

Ridiculous.

 

It's easy to spot... all the car is on focus except the part of the front wheels who is supposed to touch the ground. Lame...

What will be next? Give the weights of the car with no fluids? ¬¬

 

yeah, the rear tires are oddly relaxed, you cant even tell the weight of the whole car isn't pushing down of them.

 

Not only is it easy to spot...

Those are 285s (!!!!) on 20x10 (!!!!) Super Snake wheels... They can't even hook up at stock hp levels. Way too narrow. When I saw that pic I lol'd

 

Hi,

What? Now you're making me sceptical about getting 3.0L/100km out of my 918!?

Cheers,

Not even sorta realistic looking. If you're going to fake a picture, at least do it right.

 

That's so seriously lame. Completely unnecessary. Saying 1000hp is enough to sell.
