The largest automobile brand page on Facebook was about to hit 500,000 fans. We wanted to prove to the fans that we like them back. So we invented the social stunt. We took YouTube most celebrated Audi, the Audi R8. Added Le Mans winner Dindo Capello. And sent them on a mission. On a little racetrack he drifted the number “500,000” onto the asphalt. Response was overwhelming. The clip spread and Audi pushed it on TV. The first Facebook film to hit the airwaves. But Audi isn’t a one-trick pony. For our fans we created 20 unique prints using the messed up treads of of the Audi R8 tires.
