Latest Hankook Tire Ad Features E92 M3

Law · 05-06-2016, 11:48 PM

While watching the NBA Playoffs, this Hankook Tire commercial pops up during one of the time-outs.

Features Rhys Millen sliding around in an E92 M3 (with an F8X-esque bumper) on an unidentified stretch of mountain road. It does bear resemblance to SoCal (specifically Glendora Mountain Road).

Ended up finding it on Youtube and thought i'd share

How do you manage to do that with 1.5 PSI off?

Recklessly

Does it sound like the S65 though? Very odd commercial feature given the bumper and exhaust note sounds (I feel like there are 4 different engine sounds lol), but nice to see the E92 getting love still.

Not reckless enough until you catch air.

I agree. It was quite odd at first glance, which is what prompted me to find it on Youtube.
Can't really hear the signature S65 sound.

After seeing both (never had seen the AFE on tv before), the AFE one wins. Definitely some signature S65 engine noise in that one.

Still, both are pretty cool

The AFE ad is nicely executed and cuts to the chase.

A no bullsh*t ad.
