I still think that Audi has, as with many of their road car photos, have used the magic of photoshop. I'd have to say that some of the studio shots may've been re-touched in photoshop--in some of the head on views, you can see refections of the lighting rigs in the windshield. Either the R18 was photographed on a while background that eveloped only the rear and one side of the car, or the whole background was PS'd.
As for the windtunnel photo, both the R18 in the window, and for all we know, the photo of the same car in the wide screen monitor--and maybe the areo data--could be photoshopped and the whole photo could be a composite photograph that Audi made to make it look like a leak, so even if they accidently released it, it would befuddle the opposition, in more ways then one.
Who knows, but it seems to be a composite photo and if you know where to look you can see the differences. Anyone who's seen enough manips of tabloid photos and those of Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson can tell the difference between a real photo and a fake. Same goes with duplicate handwritten letters and paintings. One's the real thing and may be worth millions, the other is a convincing fake worth at most a few hundred dollars or euros.
