Surfing an 812

^ It's a bit silly, but sometimes silly is good.

Like it.

But why do sports car ads seem to always show their car going through water?, I'm thinking that's the last place I want to be having fun with my car.

 

They lost me with the whole water crap. More car and less theatrics.

 

...childish and typical drama inspired nonsense.

I think the brand is in for a very serious correction.

 

It looks much better in the video footage than the released pics. The design is growing on me.

I posted a thread about this on the F12/812 forum yesterday, but VERY sad what their marketing department has done/whom they apparently believe is the new audience. Car may be outstanding, but this is an utter embarrassment. Sailing the Seven Seas...

I think the next model should be pictured orbiting the moon, then arrive from space.

 

they should have had Han Solo and Chewbacca driving it...

 

Aside from the cheesy marketing, those front fender bulges are delicious.

 

Just like the Lincoln Commercial....at least they are driving it in the forward direction!

 

I take it as a metaphor for the force of the car - if you've been in larger waves you know that pushing feeling.

 

What actually happened was that there were these low-flying pelicans that the driver was swerving to miss and...

All the best,

I blame those cheap Chrisler GPS systems

 

Are they trying to convince us it floats better than a Veyron?

 

Street Surfing? What a concept.

Not cheesy marketing. If you look at the car's specifications, that is the "Poseidon" package for the monsoon area markets.

 

I liked the old BMW pseudo spy movie ad's better.

Actually, is that Clive Owen in the 812? Kind of looks like him.

 

New BMW Films ? Watch Clive Owen in The Escape

 

I can see running the car on a wet road to show the aerodynamics. As in throwing up a nice rooster tail due to the tunnel and tail kick up showing it making down force. Unfortunately this was not evident in the film.

The Lotus Esprit did it better.

 

A wave only has a "pushing feeling"...AFTER it breaks...until that moment the wave is actually "pulling" you up it's face.

With this Ferrari commercial/abomination...Ferrari has officially joined Fonzi as "Jumping the shark"

I think Ferrari is trying to say that the car is big enough and heavy enough to double as a ship. TOOT! TOOT!


I like the first half of the video (before the ocean scene) and I think the car looks far better in this video than it does in the early press photos. However, I still think the 812 is a step backwards in styling from the F12...
