That new £2m Shell - Ferrari TV ad now online

[Giuseppe F1]

Shame they missed out the filming of the cars through London as they couldnt get agreeance to close off the area they wanted

Enjoy:

the car that turns up at around 54 seconds - the engine sounds FANTASTIC!!!

[Giuseppe F1]

Going by the helmets, think the guy in the 248 or F2007 at the end is Andrea Bertolini.....the others are seemingly the private owners of the vintage F1 cars

[ioan]

Absolutely stunning! :up:

here it is aswell...

I was lucky enough to be a part of the Australian production leg. Unfortunately only some of the footage has been used, As with London, We were also denied access to the landmarks of Sydney..

I love the Ad...

Looks Fantastic..

[Giuseppe F1]

As great as it is, i honestly expected it to be more 'stunning'.

For example, the part in NYC seems vry short for the amount of $$$ it would have cost, plus, would have liked to have seen kimi, massa and michael featured somehow.....even if bertolini wore a kimi lid in the end scene

That's the 1970 312B, with a V12 3 litre engine.

The car that made me fall in love with the Scuderia.

A great ad :up: although I would have loved to have seen more F1 Ferraris in there, but then it would have been a very long ad :s mokin:

[janneppi]

Weren't many Ferraris missing from that because they were Agip Ferrari's instead of Shell's. :)
It was good, but just like Giuseppe F1, i expected it to be "more" especially if it was such an expensive ad.

That would explain the missing decades after the 312B :D

[Giuseppe F1]

The Shell ad is somewhat similar to the recent Honda one, and it's interesting that the ad-men are calling on nostaligia for days gone by to persuade us to buy their products.

I suspect the ad-men would claim they are trying to show heritage and credibility rather than just nostaligia. Still same idea though.

Cor! Absolutely love the sound of the 312. I think McLaren should do one of these promos in the same style for the sole purpose of entertainment :p :

Actually I am surprise that the Ferrari get through the downtown of Hong Kong for quite a few seconds, never dream that we would have a formula 1 race happening here, good ad.
