Never seen this before, or on TV, but it's an awesome ad!

Yes, it is an amazing commercial. :D

It played here in Canada about 1 to 2 years ago and was shown intermittently over several months.  Naturally, it was a shortened version that showed most of the time. :(

The sounds are the best. I prefer the sound of the 2nd/3rd car shown, to me a much more "Ferrari" sound than the later cars.


All proper cars should have carburetted V12 engines.   Preferably with 3   4 choke Webers sitting on top of the 4 camshafts.... but I am not old fashioned enough to want to go back to mechanical ignition.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

When I first saw it, I figured it was mostly CGI.  Nope...
