Ferrari vs Honda...

...in a Battle of the Commercials!

Here's the Ferrari/Shell Oil commercial...

...and here's the Honda spot from a year or so ago.

Ferrari actually shut down streets in major cities around the globe for their commercial (Sao Paolo, Monaco and Shanghai just to name three), while Honda goes out for a jaunt around the English countryside. Ferrari has nothing but engine sounds (turn it up loud, and savor the roar of the V12), Honda has "Dream the Impossible Dream" from Man of LaMancha as the soundtrack for theirs.

Both cool in different ways... but I REALLY dig the Ferrari spot.

1 Only one V12 featured-- the '67 312 F1, which runs through Times Square.

Personally, I like the note of the '70 312 B boxer better.

The other cars were a '52 500 F2, '97 F310B, '03 F2003-GA and '07 F2007, if you were wondering.

2 I thought the Times Square shoot had been cancelled?

Anywho, I HAD been wondering, so thank you for the info! I didn't realize they got the F2007 in there, I had assumed it was the 2-4-8.

Hm. I also assumed (what I now know is) the F310b was a V12 engine. It's quite a bit gruntier than the V10 for the F2003 and the whine of today's V8.
