Video: Audi’s Vampire Super Bowl Commercial Brings New S7 to the Party

Even if your favorite team didn’t make it to the Super Bowl this year, Audi continues to be a star among automotive enthusiasts- so at least WE have something to cheer about.  In probably one of the cleverest Super Bowl commercials to come from Audi, they demonstrate what happens when the all-new Audi S7 shows up to a party full of vampires.

Audi’s Next Super Bowl Ad Teaser Jumps The Shark: Video

When it comes to Super Bowl advertising, we thought we’d seen it all.

Although the new McLaren MP4-12C may not be every enthusiast’s favorite exotic car, but for Jay Leno, the MP4-12C has a soft spot in his heart no matter how well it stacks up against the competition.
