Real or Fake? Gran Turismo Ad Shows 1969 Corvette Stingray and 1988 Lamborghini Countach Scraping Sides

After watching this Japanese Gran Turismo PSP commercial of a '69 Corvette Stingray and a '88 Lamborghini Countach clashing sides on the race track more than a dozen times, we still can't tell if it's a real-life or a computer simulated scene. But then again, that's exactly what makes this commercial so successful in our opinion; for one, you'll want to watch it again and again but most importantly, it gets the message across that the video game blurs the lines of reality and fantasy. Check out the commercial in the video after the jump.

Real. Note the shadow of the camera car cast on the countach and vette.

U can see the shadow of the car in which the camera is mounted on the two cars as they exchange paint. the one with the lotus spinning is fake tho... i think.

FAKE

Real. It's an advert for the PSP. And GT on PSP is definitely not that good

The camera could be CGI, as well, for ultra-realism... And the render could be better than the real-time one

there's no deformation when the cars collide ;) and no color-exchange

FAKE.

Look at the drivers. This always gives it away...

I played need for speed shift on psp3 on a big screen and with a good steering wheel, veeeeryyy fun, and fast, and good looking, if gt5 is better than shift, then they have really succeded, to bad it doesn´t seem like they the cars can crash, they just bump into each other and get some scratches, looks silly, but anyway, the point is not to crash so lets see how it turns out

REAL- But I wish it was fake ... poor cars !
It seems to me that only the end of the tv-ad is CGI ( the part with the lotus and the Vet seen from the back )

I'm agreeing with SamuraiJack.

Is it really fake?

REAL

Proof - Switch to HD and play in full screen. Pause the video a 7 seconds. Look closely at the Lamborghini's hood. You will see the shadow of a big truck with camera gear mounted on the back.

Franck is also correct...

I think it is real but with replicas and overlayed engine sound.

lol the cameratruck can also be simulated, this is no proof.

like i said, there are no scratches on the cars, so its a fake!

"lol the cameratruck can also be simulated, this is no proof."

Back at ya; There's no proof that the camera truck was simulated.

That's how evidence works. Whatever claims you make without evidence, I can dismiss without evidence.


"like i said, there are no scratches on the cars, so its a fake!"


Vettes are made of fibreglass; they flex before they scratch.

At 4 seconds, the left front of the Corvette mashes into right rear wheel well of the Countach. At 9 seconds, before the same areas of the two cars meet again, you can see black paint on the corner of the right rear wheel well fender flare. You have to look close.

Yes, this is real. CGI is good, but I've yet to experience ANY CGI that I can not detect. Fake is fake and it's obvious and easy to detect.

At first I questioned that the end segment with the Lotus spinning out was maybe enhanced, but I don't think so. The only REAL CGI is on the PSP screen that is shown at the very end of the video.

Sorry fellas, but all those saying it's fake, are wrong.

This is real.
