Misleading HotRod article?

[smskeeter23]

Anyone else see at least one interesting thing here that makes me think they have NOT actually seen the new car? Moreover are they actually allowed to use that pic for something like this? Especially having watermarked it with their own name?

If it's a press release photo, it's fair game.

Gave me a chuckle, though. That writer's going to have a whole lot of egg on his face when other people figure it out.

Did...someone photoshop pre-production camo onto a GT screenshot?

It's the camo C7 from GT5.

That's embarrassing.

I seriously had to do a double take when I first saw it lol

I mentioned this last month when the article hit the stands. It was in the now closed News thread. I was hoping it was hinting at a ZO6 for GT6. I was wrong.

Someone is in big trouble

I can tell because that the track is the Special Stage Route X track. Great catch.

They even left the Stig helmet in...

Ahhhh I hadn't seen that. Well credit to you for finding it first 👍

No worries.

The thread is closed so I can't quote it here. I mentioned it originally because it contained Z06 info. Since it showed the GT5 picture that led me to believe(assume) it was coming in GT6. It was a hot topic in the news thread(the Z06), not me mentioning Hot Rod magazine. In fact, I don't think anyone really noticed.

It just happen that issue arrived earlier that day.

Its normal hot rod stuff. They make up stuff and use random imagines all the time. I still love the magazine.

I logged into an account of mine just to call them on it.

What kinda spy photo is that close to the car? And at such an unrealistic angle at that?

For those lazy folks, it shows the exact un filtered pic as a part of our GT5 dlc.

For laughs I showed people at work.

Shame on Hot Rod, or props to PD? Both.

ps the props go out because gt5 apparently had good enough graphics to pass for "spy shots". Didnt fool me or you, but many common folk that never played gt5 or gt6.
