When I was told about this advert my imagination run riot. A Merc sportscar drives upside down in a tunnel. I had visions of a scene from Men in Black where the car drove upside down through a tunnel. In the films case it has held there by special effects but in the Mercs case I though how light is the car? What downforce is being exerted? Was it specially made? How long is it up there? Watch it and see.
Still impressive though but a long way away from escaping from plod inside a tunnel. Shows how much I am willing to consider when it comes to technical advancements.
I wonder if they would let me have a go?
Maghang, as distinct from maglev?
So they now have CGI in adverts.
Yes. You should patent that James.
Ivan,
It doesn’t look like CGI to me. It looks like the old wall of death style physics in action to me.
Lord T,
It could be just the old wall of death physics but there is so little of it actually shown and I can’t see them spending the millions to produce a special car just for one advert. Therefore I stick with CGI though I would like it to be real.
Ivan,
It’s not a special car. It’s a new model that is being sold. This is one of the adverts for it although as it is rich people that will buy it I don’t see it being bought on the strength of this advert.
