The benefits of independent suspension are evident for all to see in this cheeky Spanish car ad from Nissan. Who’d have thought something so boring could be so beautiful? Careful mind, this is one clip the boss (or the missus) won’t want you to see.
Driving a normal-sized estate car between two metal gates that are about ten feet apart sounds like a fairly achievable goal. Not so for this crazy lady though, who probably struggles with the difficult tasks in life like breathing. This clip begs the question, why the hell did anyone let her behind the wheel in the first place? Toyota reckons its Vios model is frighteningly good.

If you were what’s commonly known as a ‘betting man’ and were asked to wager which would win in a race between a man and a Bugatti Veyron you’d be fairly certain of a hefty pay day right? Wrong! Nevermind that the Bugatti has a top speed of 252 mph and reaches 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds, it’s no mere mortal the car’s up against. When Cristiano Ronaldo and Nike are involved all bets are off. Surely this is one of the most fanciful PR stunts of all time.
