Remember that viral video that showed the Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake? It had many fooled but it had recently been confirmed that it was a fake and was a practical joke perpetrated by the former editor of TopGear America, Jared Holstein. He admitted that along with several interns at the site, he orchestrated the whole thing. To create the image used in the fake video, intern Matt DuVall used a 3D animation program called Maya. The clip hinted at a European setting but it had actually been shot in Brooklyn. They planted the video on a Czech video-game website in order to obscure its origins. It was so convincing that it got picked up by many prominent automotive sites. In an interview, Holstein explained that he only did it because t'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."
