Not sure how he did that but pics were live with a photographer. Looked like a regular digital camera. It is a really great color and looks amazing in the sun as well. We had a lot of folks stopping to check it out during the shoot.
Nice car… all pictures look Ai … Must be the color…
I do not have a video of it driving however its drives great and shifts with no issues. Had to drive 10 miles to get to the photo location.
we saw the engine running --will we see a driving video and shifting through the gears to see how the transmission operates and how the car handles blah blah blah?
