yes, obviously a very well done VIRAL advert. The stationary bit in the garage is easily possible, the steering must be hydraulically assisted i guess, so that maybe genuine. But come on, do u thing McLaren (of all the teams!) would allow remote control of their car outside the garage! NO is the correct answer there!

i think it's genius ad tho!

Good bit of viral marketing. No doubt it has a driver in it that is later digitally erased. The whole point of it is so that people like you post it on forums and as I have seen it on one other then it is obviously working. As I've got a STORM it's nice that it beats the crap out of an iphone at something for a change!
