Where did that picture come from? I can't find any "official" announcement anywhere online. Is this bogus?

Interesting conversation if nothing else, but a source would be helpful.

I couldn't find anything online either...and no offense to the G8(I love the car) but it'd be a disgrace to the Firehawk name to put it on a G8.
