Em sua campanha para as Olimpíadas de Londres na Holanda, a Volkswagen criou uma corrida de 100 metros para desafiar as pessoas, torcedores holandeses com seu laranja e itens espalhafatosos tradicionais em estádios.
Porém, são duas diferenças básicas: 1. A corrida não é com as pernas, e sim com um carro: o modelo Up!. 2. O carro não tem acelerador.
A única maneira de tirar o Up! do lugar é no grito. Quanto mais alto se grita, mais rápido o carro anda. São provas diárias, e as equipes que obtiverem os melhores tempos no dia levam ingressos para assistir provas e partidas dos Jogos Olímpicos.
Aqui tem todo um making of da tecnologia usada – batizada de Orange Motion em homenagem a torcida holandesa – mas trata-se basicamente de um medidor de decibéis atrelado ao acelerador do carro. Algumas medidas de segurança foram pensadas para a brincadeira: O limite de velocidade é 30km/h, e o co-piloto que acompanha a prova tem freio do lado direito.
A criação é da agência Achtung!. O comercial abaixo promove a ação:
