100% Photoshop BS
It does indeed look like a remarkably ugly test mule.
I'd put (a very small amount of) money on it being an A8 with a big engine or an A7 coupe thing.
If you could point me towards the typical photoshop flaws that you are finding that I seem not able to see (I'm usually pretty good at things like that).
thanks, so this is a real mule, not a photoshop?
i wouldn't put to much weight on its looks though, if its early in the design stage then they might just use anything as a body just to test the chassis. like those bmw mules that look like tanks.
looks weird indeed.IMHO (and I'm far from a pro at picking these things), it just looks like a chop. Look under the front wheel (don't know why, but this but jumped out at me), where it meets the road, there's a section where there should be a shadow (right where those blades of grass overlay the tyre), but there isn't, it almost looks smudged. Compare it to the back wheel.

Of course it's entirely possible (and perhaps very likely) that I'm wrong - I'm just so used to magazines running photoshopped, imagined-up bullshit.
I would not venture a guess as that the camo is so thick. Although that should be true of those who say a car is ugly before they see it in the metal.
To put the photoshop thing to rest here is another photo there are more floating about.
