Interesting commercial. I wonder how us Lexus folks can leverage the LFA... Any thoughts?

Inside joke, apparently.

I didn't get it.

What I got from it, VW owns both Audi and Porsche (siblings). The Audi has been in racing LMP for years and now Porsche is returning. So the Audi leaves Ingolstadt and heads to Stuttgart and starts doing donuts in front of Porsche HQ sort of like a welcome back now its on like donkey kong

This is awsome.

Considering the Toyota TS040 hybrid has been crushing both the Audi E-tron and the Porsche V4 Turbo in the World Endurance Series and will probably beat both in the upcoming Le Mans, seems like Audi should have spent more time worrying about Toyota than Porsche.

It really is the passing of the torch, this coming Le Mans : the moment in time when Japanese hybrid overtook German diesel as the mainstream technology for marrying Performance with Ecology.

Since this is a Porsche-Audi commercial there's probably no need to Include the Toyota brand In it.

Yeah that is way Off Topic.

This commercial was just Volkswagen's thinly veiled attempt at tooting its own horn about its supposed "dominance" of FIA WEC and LMP1 : "Look! I have 2 constructor teams (Audi and Porsche) in FIA WEC and Le Mans."

I am merely pointing out the irony that the year it decided to publicize its supposed technological edge is the year that Toyota decided to start kicking German butt from Silverstone to Spa and all the way to Le Mans. Since the FIA World Endurance Championship started this year, none of Audi and Porsche's teams (VW's twins) have taken the podium even once, effectively shut out by Toyota's TS040's.

My point is very firmly on topic.

It's just a promotional piece, Every brand does them.

This post is about porsche joining the race and audi welcoming them back.

Why try to bait response by including toyota with those negative comments that nobody asks for?

That's very cool!

these are LMP1 cars and are in commercial about Porsche joining LMP1 again.

Whats so wrong about pointing that they are battling for #2 place in LMP? It is same as if Ferrari did some cool F1 commercial and someone pointing how Mercedes F1 is way cooler right now.
