Thats pretty cool, but hard to see it being the most expensive add ever created.

well I mean, imagine production costs for flying cars like that along with their respective mechanics/teams to six or seven different major cities, then having the streets shut down to tape it....

They shut down time square as well as major roads in other famous cities. shutting down the ocean front street in Rio? I cannot imagine how much money it took to pay off the local governments.

I am going to suck the BP camel piss out of my car and fill it with V-Power until the earth is dry.

It's got to be very expensive not to have people/cars on these cities streets, plus the cost of production, ie cars and its crews, filming crew, etc.
It's an awesome ad, I already ordered the Shell stickers, but not using Kimi's, I just don't like him.

Its sensational, i heard my first one at the Turkish Grand Prix last summer. You can hear the car start up from like 5 miles away, no joke. Hearing it consume rears was.....wow.

Oh man. Just the old cars = $$. Flying them around and shutting down some of the world's most busy roads? $$$

I was fortunate enough to be at a Symbolic open house this Saturday where they had a 1997 Ferrari F310B Formula 1 car (Eddie Irvine's spare car, for what it's worth). They started it up several times. The smell/sight/sound/feel was simply amazing.

They're only asking $975,000 for it, btw. It says "Comprehensive Rebuild By The Ferrari Corse Clienti"...

Check out a Ferrari Challenge race if it ever comes to a track near you.
There were at least 10 ex-F1 cars (all Ferrari) dating back to the 70's. Nothing like standing in the Homestead Miami Speedway Garages/Pits and hearing Michael's/Rubens 2000-2003 winning cars fired up 3 feet away from you. Not to mention 10 FXX, 20 Ferrari Challenge, and 30+ current/street Ferrari's all in one place. Oh yeah, free food and drinks, and a chance to win a Ferrari Experience track weekend by having the fastest Kart time helped to make for a great day as well.
