I have seen some obnoxious and overdone Louis Vuitton vehicle collaborations  in my time but this one takes the cake. John Jarasa, the editors of Heavy Hitters Magazine, posted this on his blog. Hopefully a new issue of Heavy Hitters will have some more shots of this Rolls Royce so we can really check out the wrap.

Check out Advan Tech Studios video from 2008. Most of the video includes car clips with the likes from Ferrari, Ford, Aston Martin, and Porsche. You will find some amazing shots and clips including a Lotus shooting up pebbles from the brim of a racetrack and a huge Mustang burnout. Check it out above!

While the big three are busy fighting with Congress the guys at Audi USA are creating a super bowl commercial for Super Bowl XLIII. They did a commercial at Super Bowl XLIII with an Audi R8 and the Godfather if you remember which they claimed was the second most talked about commercial after the Super Bowl. Hope they are going to pack a good bunch, I will be tuning it for this and to see who is going to Disney World in 2009! Below is the press release sent out by Audi USA.

Audi to Advertise During Super Bowl XLIII Broadcast

- 60-second spot to air in the first quarter of the game
- Last year’s ad drove record traffic to Audi’s website
- Audi’s market share has increased over two percentage points in just 12 months

HERNDON, Va., Dec 10, 2008 – After tremendous consumer and critical reaction to its “The Godfather”-inspired ad in Super Bowl XLII, Audi of America today announced it has purchased a 60-second slot to advertise in the first quarter of Super Bowl XLIII.

Last year’s Super Bowl ad was the first in nearly 20 years for the company. The spot’s unique creative elements scored big points with viewers. According to Collective Intellect and Nielsen Buzz Metrics, Audi was the number two Super Bowl advertiser in total buzz after the game. In the months following the game, traffic to www.audiusa.com increased almost 200% and the Audi R8 became the top search term on Google immediately following the ad’s airing.

“Last year’s Super Bowl ad put old luxury on notice that Audi was setting the new standard in the American luxury market,” said Scott Keogh, chief marketing officer, Audi of America. “With this spot, we plan to build on the success we’ve enjoyed in 2008 to make 2009 a year of progress and market momentum for the Audi brand.”

Audi experienced a record year for sales in 2007. In 2008, despite the worst sales climate in nearly 25 years, Audi has increased market share against other imported luxury brands to 8.6%, up from 6.2% just 12 months ago.

Audi’s advertising agency, San Francisco-based Venables Bell & Partners, created the ad.
