Well, it seems that the land of the rising sun is home to some of the most creative minds in automotive-related advertising, because the Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG just received a highly imaginative commercial as well.
To celebrate the A 45 AMG's launch, Mercedes-Benz Japan went to a Zen Monastery that for some reason has a huge and perfectly flat parking lot in the back, put some heart and brainwaves monitoring devices on five Buddhist monks and then employed a racing driver to drift around them in the said parking lot while they were practicing Zazen meditation.
With this occasion we also learned that, despite its FWD-based all-wheel drive system, the Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG can actually power drift, even though just on a flat and highly wet surface. Nevertheless, the commercial is at least as cool but obviously more original than the Mercedes-Benz “chicken” ad.
