I have to disagree, as someone that has a lot of experience in photo re-touching, automotive design and illustration I can tell wether an image has been re-touched or not.

If you look hard enough you can see where the paintwork appears to be clouded (airbrushed) and the shut-lines have been sprayed over (especially around the tail lights). I could name an entire list of things that could of been done better.

Remember quite often car companies use digital photo touch up specialists for converting brochures that have been originally created for LHD markets into RHD format - the level of detail has to be immaculate to the point where even I find hard to see the difference.

They have left the tape on the badges to give the impression that it is a genuine uncovered world scoop.

To be honest I think the photoshop job looks crap.
