This aurally orgasmic advertisement for Shell V-Power was created to celebrate 60 years of collaboration between Shell and Ferrari in Formula 1. The advertisement shows generations of F1 cars running at high speeds through cities from Rome to Rio, and finally London. The advertisement looks like one of the most expensive TV commercials ever made, and took a month to shoot. Check out the video after the jump.
Nice ad! Yes, Ferrari’s engine noise is music to some ears, but “aurally orgasmic”??? There must must a real good reason to use such innuendo. Rather inappropriate in my opinion.
The lineage is not complete. The cars during the Agip sponsership years are missing! That is almost 20 years of missing link there! The flat12 engined models are not there, the ground effect cars are not there, so are the turbo models and the V12 models. But then again this is about Shell not Ferrari.

from some forest (maybe england), to rome, to new york, to hong kong, to rio, to monaco and to some shell station and back to rio, great stuff, love the engine roar
schummi the red baron won’t be in sepang this april. sorry to dissappoint you. he and his family busy moving and settling in in their new mansion.maybe you just go cheer for kimi next tue for the 3 days test session at sepang.it is free entry for the public.
armand, really the sound “WOW” ah, I view from office computer and there is no speaker. I shall go back to home to view one more time, turn Vol to loud, hopefully I enjoy the “roaring WOW” sound as well!
I know what the difference between aurally and orally and I hope you are not suggesting I did not know the difference. At no time was I insinuating any oral implication and I hope you are not suggesting it either. Perhaps it is your own subconscious needs to be reassessed. All I was opining was that the word “orgasmic” is perhaps not a appropriate journal jargon for a car blog. Plenty of teenagers are readers of this popular blog, we can do no harm to keep it free of innuendos.

Wow … nice. Isn’t the last stop Monte Carlo, instead of London? or maybe you’re referring to the Shell Station in London…
March 23, 2007 @ 7:23 am
The final city actually is Monte Carlo, Monaco. n i don’t think there’s any London landmark.

raptorclans is right.. this clip is good, but cleaner and more fluid transitions would have made it epic.
March 24, 2007 @ 2:21 am
kimi boleh
March 24, 2007 @ 1:39 pm
old school V12…. yuummmmyyy…..
i think having it transform fluidly will make it too predictable and run off the mill…
the F310B running through rio sounds weird though….
March 24, 2007 @ 9:14 pm
WOOOOOOWAWE!!!!!!
