Mercedes Commercial: SLS AMG GT3 “45th Anniversary”

sls exteriorA few days ago Mercedes revealed its all brand new SLS AMG GT3 45th Anniversary edition model. I just love the “anniversary editions” sports cars they always have amazing features. Most of the times, the features added to the car transforms it into a collection car, not a “better to drive version” of the production model. This SLS AMG GT3 is a perfect example. Would you be able to drive this version of the SLS in your every days life? I dough it. For this 45th anniversary, the AMG team worked on a race edition of the SLS model. They mostly developed the aerodynamics. This edition is much lighter than the road version. It features a huge rear spoiler, a roll cage and other aerodynamic parts.

The interior is completely optimized to minimize weight. A big number of the luxury features have been replaced by carbon fiber race like buttons. Only 5 of these monsters will be build. They will be completely hand made and delivered by the AMG team directly to the lucky customers. Regarding the engine, the SLS GT3 will feature the normal 6.3 liters V8 that is available in the SLS AMG model.

Bus MidttrafikAfter a long and deserved vacation TheAdsGarage is back! Not with a super or hyper or concept car commercial as you would expect, but with a Bus commercial. Honestly it’s the first bus commercial I have seen in my life. Midttrafik (danish bus company) with it’s “It’s Cool” campaign is encouraging everyone and specially youngsters to take the bus by promoting all it’s advantages. The idea is cool, the commercial is cool, the people in it are cool; cool commercial!

Remember how the cars you had the most fun in never had a roof? This is the new commercial for the 2012 Golf Cabriolet. It’s just a golf but with no roof on. It’s going to feature the same engine range as the normal golf going from the 1.4 turbo to the GTI 2.0 Turbocharged engine that delivers 211hp. I didn’t really like this new idea of golf with no roof. I find the original golf much more attractive. I prefer regular hatchback sporty car. Regarding the commercial, it’s simple and nice. The song in this VW cabriolet commercial is Days from The Best and Kollektable.

Mercedes Commercial: Guinness World Record.

SLS golfI mentioned the SLS AMG in my previous post “Super Service” that featured Roger Federer. For this commercial, Mercedes has attempted to win the Guinness World Record for the ‘Furthest Golf Shot Caught in a Moving Car.’ Jake Shepherd (professional UK golf player) launched the golf ball from the tee at a speed of 286.46 kmh, and David Coulthard (professional British Formula one driver) made sure it landed in the SLS AMG, 275 metres down the runway. Mercedes were the ones to set the record, there were none before. With this trend of creating a convertible edition of every super car, I think the record is gonna be broken very soon.

Parallel ParkingAfter the Italian Job, Mini is introducing a Special Edition of the new MINI Coupe: The Chinese Job edition. VW was the last sponsor of the tightest parallel parking competition that was won by the German Ronny Wechselberger who parked a VW Polo in a space measuring 26cm longer than that of his car. It is now the fifth time in the past two years, that the Guinness World Record title for the tightest parallel parking job is beaten. It is now in the hands of Han Yue, a Chinese driver who park drifted a MINI Cooper S in a space bigger by 15 cm than that of his car. Check out this IMPRESSIVE video!!

Land Rover Commercial: Discovery 4

I have always assimilated this car to a fridge with an engine and four wheel drive. The LR4 is just too bulky and the engine power doesn’t compensate for that. Looking at its side look, its like a Range Rover Sport with a BIG box at the back. I must say that the car is very spacious, allowing 7 people to sit comfortably (well that’s a minimum with such an exterior design). The new Discovery engine is better and more efficient that the old on. The new diesel 3.0-liter twin turbocharged engine with 600Nm of torque would be the best option.

As an off road 4×4 it has really good potential with a lot of off road option to go for. Every option modifies the suspension and the gear shifting to adapt to the terrain. But with such a heavy car it is really hard to not to get stuck in a muddy and snowy terrain

Regarding the commercial I find it really nice, emphasizing on the 4×4 all-terrain capabilities of the car in a very subtle way. Land Rover is really promoting this car, like most of their car as a “car for adventures”. A car for everyday anywhere.

Toyota Commercial: “Babes ‘N’ Donuts”

Scion IQAfter a long absence due to personal issues, I’m back with a really crazy ad. Introducing the Scion IQ by Toyota. The first question you are probably gonna ask yourself after watching this ad is WTF is this thing?! Well the IQ is a really small city car, actually the smallest four-seater car in the world. This is the competitive advantage that the IQ has over its mini-cars competitors. The aim of this video is mainly to show that this small car actually fits four adults people. They did this by releasing not one but four ads including: “Dudes n’ Donuts,” “Bikers n’ Donuts” and “Police n’ Donuts” ,emphasizing even more the fact that their tiny car fits four people. This weirdness in ads makes me think of the Old Spice Shampoo commercial that was released a few years ago. The ad really created a buzz. Hope the IQ ad will be as successful.

Mini Commercial: “INSANE ATTEMPT AT HUMAN FLIGHT”

This is one of the craziest car ads I have ever seen. Like Seriously?! A man wearing a wing-suit, wired to a Countryman and getting ejected from a cliff?! The 2013 MINI John Cooper Works Countryman is an amazing combination of power and handling. The 1.6 turbo engine delivers 211 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque. Combined with the All4 all-wheel drive system, the Contryman ends up to be the first and fastest MINI JCW with a four wheel drive system.

Introducing the official ad of the C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series. Like the C63 AMG with its 451hp and 443lb-ft of torque wasn’t fast enough, Mercedes introduced the coupe black edition of that model featuring 510hp and 457 lb-ft. This upgraded version of the C63 AMG is just wonderful.

Mini Commercial: “The Best Test Drive Ever”

This is the ad introducing the new Mini Coupé. The ad is really nice combining the sportiness of this new Mini and the 6 words that people chose to describe the best test drive ever. The Mini in itself is a very nice car specially with the top of. I drove a 2007 Mini CooperS and I must say it handles really well though I think it somehow lacks a bit of power. This new Coupé model sounds amazing hope I can put my hands on one of those soon.
