I posted this a while back in the Audi forum - loved it, but to me it simply says that in order to make your R8 V10 sound like it should, you have to rip half the exhaust system away.
If you wanted to be picky, it could rub up against false advertising - people expecting the V10 to sound like that out of the box.

They do sound like that though..?If you wanted to be picky, it could rub up against false advertising - people expecting the V10 to sound like that out of the box.

The R8 advert instantly made me want one when I saw it. What an amazing advert. I bought an A6 because I liked the advert so much and the car once I drove. I'm now thinking about maybe a TTRS.
The Jag advert was great too.
The R8 tagline did instantly make me think of Alan Partridge though, "I evolve but I don't revolve"

Madza's MX-5 add over the pond is one of my favourites:

But the current R8 ad is amazing, love the little pun at the end!

I hate that Peugeot advert. Is the guitar meant to sound like a 4 cylinder engine, or an F1 car, or a bike? As it happens, it sounds like cats fighting, or possibly foxes. Or fingernails down a blackboard.
I was disappointed by that advert too. Every guitaring petrolhead knows you only need the tremolo arm to do car sounds On an angrier note, that guitar / slide sounded utter crap, and the moron playing the guitar seemingly has no idea what a car sounds like to even try to mimic it properly... Dross of the highest (or should that be lowest?) order. He's also had to put a hairband around the strings because he lacks the prowess to properly mute the strings he isn't using.
Audi advert is definitely a nice change, hopefully it starts a trend and they do the same with their other performance engines

Not seen tha Jag advert yet.
the Audi advert however, when I first saw it, or rather heard it, I was gobsmascked, I have never been taken back by the R8, i have always thought it as being dull, and a bit of a show-offs car.
this advert however has completly changed my mind, THE NOISE! Mmmmm

Anyone notice that there is only hydrogen flame from the leftbank at about 45 sec. Deliberate mapping, or a trick of the light?
Hydrogen flame?If you mean the blue surely that is simply a pre-mixed flame. Just like with a Bunsen burner, pre mixed is blue, diffusion flame is yellow and a bit sooty due to incomplete combustion.

Pretty sure it's this. F1 car's rarely spit yellow flames anymore too.....almost always blue backfires which you can see in the night races.If you mean the blue surely that is simply a pre-mixed flame.
