Have you noticed how everything sounds a lot sexier if you say it with a Portuguese accent? That even works for a Chinese car with a name we can't fathom.
This crazy car commercial for the Chinese-built JAC J3 shows how a bunch of slightly crazy engineers try to make the car fly by sticking a jet engine and some wings on the roof.
