Ok - it's not Ford, but it's a great ad....

Fantastic!

Can any of you geniuses ID the race cars? (I sure can't).
 
That was awesome!! When that car was running down the coastline and all you could see was the water flying up.

My peddle foot was geting twitchy.
 
wow:banana

Taking a stab at it in order of appearance:

1951 625 Formula 1 car Juan Frolian Gonzalez, Piero Taruffi, Luigi Villerosi & Alberto Ascari were the main drivers
1967 312 Formula 1 car CHris Amon, Mike Parkes, Ludovico Scarfiotti & Lorenzo Bandini were the main drivers
1971 312 B2 Formula 1 car Jacky Ickx and Clay Regazzoni were the main drivers
2003 GA Formula 1 car Michael Schumacher & Rubens Barrichello were the drivers

They certainly didn't pick the prettiest for the ad or the most famous.

Okay. Fess up. How long did you spend researching all that on the net????:lol
 
I heard that ad is one of the most expensive tv ads ever made.....over 3 million dollars.....closer to 4. imagine closing down city streets in the daytime in some of those places...........I like when he cooks right by the parked Aston Martin and sets off the Porche's alarm....subtle.........

Thanks for the post Neil. Really nice camera angles. I just wish I could get my PC volume to play louder.

Except for the last one no time just memory. Total time research 3 minutes, maybe. The last one was the trickest because of the color scheme.

I recognized the others immediately upon seeing the ad.

I thought they were both Ferraris.

I believe it was a 612.

Bad ass commercial.
 
crap!....I revisited the ad....I think your right. sorry...........I guess they weren't being as sly as I thought.
 
Why would Shell and/or Ferrari do an add for another make of car such as Aston-Martin or Porsche? Does make much sense. Showcase your own products and not the competition.

BTW I think the models I identified are correct but I could be wrong.

It was a quick stab at it.

guess I was thinking too far outside the box....but I have seen ads where one company uses another competitors product subtley in the background to make some sort of "statement".....obviously this isn't the case here....as I now very clearly see......guess I need to get over my Japanese jet lag before I post anymore..................(I hang my head in shame)...
