There’s a formula to launching a sports car; from the fast cut film on Youtube to a series of top reviews from vloggers and journalists. Trouble is, none of these give a true sense of what the car can do to viewers. So we embraced Facebook and Youtube 360° video to let the performance of the car speak for itself. The film challenges viewers to ‘Keep up with the new Toyota Supra’ as the car emerges in and out of the darkness of a vast space from different angles –gamifying the 360° experience. As the Supra weaves around and past the viewer they reveal relevant titled specifications as they turn.
