This commercial started today on UK tv.Starring some UK hotrods + US stock cars,it supposed to promote their R8 spyder thing!! One of the hotrods,driven by an Audi driver managed to wreck the front of a 32 pick-up(Ex Limeworks)!!:mad. Heres the making of viddy as well!: http://www.marketingmagazine.co.uk/news/997858/Audi-flags-high-end-cars-beauty-beast-push/ http://www.audi.co.uk/new-cars/r8/r8-spyder/mirror-signal-outmanoeuvre/the-making-of.html
None of us are mature enough to make a video like that! One of us would have drilled the side of that Audi with the nerf bar of one of the old roundy cars just for the hell of it.
The title of this thread should be "Ugly Audi & cool cars". That Audi is horrible looking, the lines don't really flow well and it looks like it has bags under it's eyes. And I'm with Verbal, the Audi wouldn't have come out unscathed. Jaysin
Great commercial. Those cars under that lighting ruled. How cool would it be to spend the day on that set?
I think that commercial will send the wrong message to some viewers. haha. but not their aimed demographic.
There's one or two fellow HAMBers in that add.Hopefully they'll spot this thread and give you the low down. Mark.
Who would buy one of those things? How cool would it have been to be on the set for that shoot? Gimme any of the hot rods in that clip before the Audi...
-----The execution is based on a beauty and the beasts' theme, showing a series of unattractive cars driving chaotically. An R8 Spyder then emerges, weaving through them, before the endline Mirrors, signal, outmanoeuvre' appears.------ HAHAHA!!! Then why didn't they show it among their own Q7, A4, or A6. Sounds like they haven't looked in a mirror themselves! Great commercial. That new Audi reminds me of that Vauxhall that came out not too long ago.
yeah it got damaged too....bent I beam, tie rods, wishbone, bent the suicide perch and dented head light....and Audi didn't mention it on the cars return another got sideswiped and another got a fucked wheel and tyre. all the ad showed was how loud, lairy and exciting rods are....and how boring the R8 is!!
ooo no one or two or the cars were alright from over her until they put the shit paint on them..... ie. the sliver 5 window coupe were at the hayride without it, must be the shit ad..... matt
That "paint' may have been wraps. like a lot of the graphics you see on the newer cars for advertising purposes. It peels off when you are done with it.
The commercial ROCKS! Fantastic emotion jumping off the screen. I dig EVERY car on there. Obviously, a lot of crybaby action will happen on this forum regarding the Audi. Whatever. I have spent some seat time in my brothers everyday driver all wheel drive 340 horse aluminum V8 6 speed S4 that is a TON of fun to drive, and he bought BRIGHT yellow to boot. I love rods and customs, but I dig all cool cars. The REAL problem is not having enough budget or enough garage space to park every car I would like to build/buy!!! Thanks for posting that link. I have already watched it a dozen times with the volume cranked UP!
I hope the advertising company gets their money quick before Audi realizes that most people viewing it will take the hot rods over the Audi.
