When's the last time a car gave you a good eargasm? Corvette Stingray or Porsche 911… forget about that for a second, as Tom Hiddleston has an important message for the nation, and it arrives to the sound of a supercharged V8.
We are of course talking about the latest ad for the F-Type Coupe from Jaguar USA, shot with a stiff upper lip by the guy who played Thor's evil brother Loki.
Gone are the horns and armor, replaced by a sharp suit and talent for everything to do with world domination.
It's nice to see that Jaguar has not given up on playing dirty tricks on the competition. Stuttgart's 911 is made fun of for having the engine in the back. Villainous Tom presses a button and drenches the ground in water, which causes the 911 to spin and crash. How dick Dastardly of him. We also noticed it's coming down the ramp on the wrong side, for Britain that is.
This is an interactive video, so make sure to turn the annotations on for the full experience at the end. We leave you in the capable hands of Tom and with the words of one Shakespearean Richard II:
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
