Bad Photoshop. No way that he can have both rear wheels in the air.

Looks real for me.....if he is doing a 360°....it's not photoshop!

Right rear wheel is in the air for sure.
If it is, why isn't there any shadow behind the wheel?

Looks real to me. Why would someone go to all the trouble of Photoshoping that pic so the car would be a couple inches off the ground? The wouldn't add anything to the car to make it looks cooler or so he would get more respect.

No idea. The pic is very cool, but I just thought that it was Photoshoped when I saw the rear tyres.

why is is so hard to believe the wheels are off the ground? In rally racing the wheels leave the ground all the time. Maybe the picture you see is the car just inches from landing after it hit a hill and jumped into the air. The shading is wrong? where should the shadows be? seeing as the sky looks overcast there shouldnt be a predominant shadow that shows the car off to the right or left. I dont know how you guys can say its a fake just on those factors. It just doesnt make sense to me. When did everyone on this board become professional photo analysts. And looking at that website I would believe it is a real photo taken during a race.

it looks real, although the only thing that makes me doubt a bit is that the right rear wheel is solid black, and it aliased, as in its edgy..usually photoes dont' look like that...

Well with all the downforce that HUGE WING must provide-- I cant imagine the back wheel coming off the ground at all!

LOL

I'd have to say its got to be photoshopped as well. Its possible the rear wheels may have been off the ground but the shadowing looks too dark for an overcast day. The shadows also take on a almost perfect box shape (the front and back are straight) and we all know the Mx-3 has curves.

Just my opinion seeing as I work in a photo lab and all...

It just seems to me that it had to be photoshopped somewhere along the way... if not with the actual car, at least the contrast and shadowing.

*edit* I forgot to mention the wing doesn't cast a shadow at all and it appears to be a sizeable wing as well...
