Entirely fan made and unofficial. I debunked that on AICN a year ago shortly after it popped up online.

Actually if I'm not mistaken, that poster was a product of a movie poster competition from this very board. For whatever reason, that particular poster seemed to stick and fooled many fans. The competition was to make an attractive movie poster with a clever phrase on it. I'm guessing that phrase seemed genuine enough to fool people.

According to the guy who made it, it was made as a "joke" because he was bored one day and posted it online to see what kind of response he would get. He confessed his "prank" to AICN after seeing how far blown out of proportion his poster was taken and the various theories behind it, days after I sent Merrick a detailed email about why it was a fake. His exact words were, "I'm surprised no one noticed the steering wheel is on the wrong side."

Merrick posted this discovery shortly the next day.

Ah, the good old Koenigsegg CCX. Not particularly my favorite car, but that is one nice looking poster. :wink:
