I saw this yesterday. It's a hoot. That salesman is terrified at one point. LMAO!
after driving the car like that, I hope they bought it from the guy...either way that is hilarious.
edit to add:
I did some research. The car was a high performance car they placed there and the salesman was the only person that wasn't in on the test drive.

People who are local to the area where this was filmed have said that they are fairly sure that the whole thing was a fabrication on an old Philip Morris cigarette plant's grounds and a used car lot. Apparently, none of the stunt driving was actually done by Gordon.

Some people just have no sense of humor whatsoever. John C. Dvorak went ballistic over it. Read the commentary. It's pretty hilarious.

Ya, it's just a commercial...everyone, including the salesman, was in on it.
The only people that Gordan has punked was America when he married a woman.

Really?? Fake?? No shirt, shitlock... I don't believe that anyone ever really thought that this was a real prank or otherwise real. At least I hope not. It was, however, a very funny commercial well designed to go viral, which it has; so kudos to whoever thought it up and pulled it off.
Good research Dr. Link (Veer_G).

It was funny as hell to watch regardless in on it or not that guy was scared
Of course it was fake - dead giveaway when Gordon didn't whine once.
LMAO! Hell, he's on the "pole" every week...
I guess when did Gordon become hated by the world?
This video is awesome, whether or not it's real is irrelevant.
