I really wish it was photoshopped but I think the shades prove that it isn't. Still may they change their colour scheme, every other car seems to be RED!

Looks perfectly unphotoshopped to me.
Yes, the rear wing profile and endplates DO look like that.
That's not a flat spot or anything, it's just the vertical mount for that mini-wing on the back of the body that's just peeking out from behind the tire.
It's visible here:

i thing they will run that livery during testing and then have a whole new look end of pre season. After all vodaphone are paying alot of money to be branded with mclaren, and they know test pictures get looked at alot. so why not have a big vodaphone logo on the car?
I believe in the chain of command, Its the chain I use to beat you till you do what i want!!!

I stand corrected. I wasn't too sure, so I tried to compare it to the other side, but that billboard made it a little difficult.

Here is a better picture:

With that post by Redbaron I don't know what my final conclusion is on the picture. The first time I saw it I was sure, but now...I'm indecisive.

According to F1Racing.net, the livery is real.

http://www.f1racing.net/en/news.php?newsID=134670

"Spanish newspaper Marca claims it has the first photo of McLaren's new livery. At Valencia McLaren was covering miles with Lewis Hamilton and Pedro de la Rosa so Vodafone could shoot promotional videos of the car. A McLaren spokesperson though said it is only a livery try-out."

"It looks like McLaren's car is going to look a lot like the photo Marca published, but it is not a final livery. The McLaren spokesperson said the final livery will be revealed at their launch in January."
