Best Commercial of All Time (Ferrari/Shell)

[Noah930]

Suggestions for any commercials or videos as fantastic as the Shell/Ferrari one from several years back? I've got a little one who loves it, and can watch it (literally) 5 times in a row. Any others that capture the sights and sounds of motorcars as well as this one does?

Can't figure out how to embed it so here's the link:

Only commercial in history that I've watched several times. Never gets old.

A decidedly different direction, but I alway thought this was a great ad:

not a commercial per se, but i still like this. Maximum Reduction

The Ferrari commercial is truly epic.

I love the VW Pink Moon commercial... it is one of the most effective of all time. It somehow evokes a memory that I'm not quite sure I actually have.

This one is great just because every I hope this happens every time I walk out to my car and see footprints all over it:

Damn CJ that is well put. That commercial takes me to a different place. The commercial also caused me to discover Nick Drake. A man with a wonderful talent but a sad, short life.

Yeah, that Ferrari shell commercial was great when my 10 year old was 2. We still love it...

I've downloaded the Shell - Ferrari to watch on my TV, and have a copy on my ipad so I can watch any time any place.

This is not nearly as cool, but gets an honorable mention



This is also very good.

The way the guy looks across the car at the girl at around 12 seconds, most people have had that experience when you realize that you're in love. You don't want to be at the party...you just want to be with them.

The model in the commercial is German. My brother in law is an actor in LA. One day he walked into a makeup trailer to get fixed up before a commercial shoot, and that woman was standing there, completely naked getting makeup done. He apologized, and started to walk out, but she was completely blasse about it, and told him to stay. His makeup artist later explained that she was a runway model, and they are used to walking around buck naked in front of others behind the scenes at fashion shows.

Same here, only I am pretty sure I have it, but with an air cooled VW convertible and nobody in the backseat.

I could not find a copy anywhere but the old guys will remember the Sunoco gasoline commercial that started with a car that sounded like it was running on 3 1/2 cylinders.....then the announcers sez........try our new Sunoco gas and your car will sound line this......there is a floor board mounted camera shot of Mark Donohue slamming a gear at 7000 RPM with that little 302 Chevy! I finally bought a Z28 at the end of 1969!
