I'd repeat the question, according to who is this even likely a materially different car? Why does a wheel cap mean it's a different car? You could make this argument by pointing to literally any difference, like a sticker - it doesn't add an credibility to it.

It was a clearly different unit, look at the wheel caps.
Actually, only the demo car up front and close had different wheel caps. The car that accelerated was similar looking than the one that flew.
