Default Audi R8 TV Commercial 'The slowest car we've ever built'

Audi is investing more than 6 million Pounds to support its R8 high-performance sports car with one of the most ironic claims in the history of advertising:

I get the impression that their slogan "The slowest car we've ever built" is that they are taking great care in building it - not it's end velocity.

but that my thoughts...

^^^ Agreed, you can tell by the page of the music and how the commercial was portrayed, like they "took their time on this one"

Once again, I wish we had commercials like that in the US.

Hmmm...nope, it'll never work. The U.S. just isn't ready for commercials that actually make sense.

Still wish they'd put a bit more thought into US commercials for audi... Although, the parking one is sweet!

I do like the A4 parking one, which is really geared towards male americans, but europeans make the best comercials i have ever seen hands down but I dont think Americans would get/appreciate them. So sad. Good R8 commercial though, I liked it.

Cars for people that can park themselves.

Love it!



Cheers!
