Well there's a strap at the front and probably even more at the rear. That's a big roller as well

Cool!

are Porsche's rear wheel drive or 4wd. i.e if its RWD the front wheels would not be moving on the rolling road..

Ex-Pug, The more I look at it the less it looks authentic. And I know the kind of effects Avi is capable off, a genius with PS. I take your point about the shutter speed etc, but look closely at the writing on the centre cap is clearly visable, not speed blurred like the spokes, and surely the tread blocks along the bottom edge of the tyre would exhibit some blurring also, but they don't not even slightly. The wheel centre doesn't appear central to the hub. The wheel to me does not seem to fill the wheel arch sufficiently. I'm not convinced

Cube.

Cube, I think the picture was taken with a flash and a slow shutter speed, giving a sharp image of the tyre tread and alloy, whilst also making the alloy look see through, and a general impression of movement.
