The response from BMW was prompt. On the other side of the boulevard, in a very short time a billboard appeared that followed he Audi logic: "Checkmate"

How it all started?

It was in 2006 when BMW published the next ad:

The PR department from Audi responded in short time with the following advertisement that appeared in the newspapers:

Perhaps it would had ended if Subaru wouldn’t have entered the game with the following ad:

The battle of the ads was canceled by an Bentley with an ad that didn’t need any comments:

The vehicle rides on Bentley’s pride: the E85-capable W12 engine delivering 621 brake horsepower, 590 pound-feet of torque and can go from 0 to 60 in only 3.7 seconds. The engine’s sensors will let you know how much ethanol and/ or gasoline is used. That sounds very interesting!

The star of the evening is without any doubt the engine but it couldn’t pulled it off without the rest of the features. For example, the Supersports is 110 pounds lighter than its predecessor, its back seats were replaced by rear deck and is Quickshift-enabled.

Stay tuned for more information after the Geneva event.
