Porsche Cayman Revealed as Hoax!
Remember the Porsche Cayman hatchback drive-by spy video we showed you not too long ago? Well, our worst fears have been proven true – the Cayman is a hoax! Who is behind such a devious act? The fellas at Top Gear, of course. Former editor of TopGear.com America, Jared Holstein, to be exact. I repeat – Porsche’s Cayman Shooting Brake is, indeed, a hoax!
We all know how much Porsche fans would droll over a two-door hatchback sportster – that or bash the living hell out of it. As Holstein said “It’s never been done before. We love wagons. And we wanted to see what we could accomplish with a high degree of sophistication, but with only a conservative effort.” Top Gear Intern Matt DuVall used a 3D animation program called Maya to create the video’s fake vehicle – and shot the scene in Brooklyn with an Italian soundtrack to give it that European-feel.
The video was planted on a Czech video-game website in order to obscure its origins. Many top automotive blogs, including World Car Fans, Auto Blog and… Porschepedia (that be us) were some of the first to drop this alleged Boxy Porsche hatch – and also the firsts to call “Bravo Sierra.”
