Description
We invited Lexus driver and wingsuit pioneer, Jeb Corliss, to take delivery of the very first RX on Australian soil - from 20,000 feet. Jumping from a cargo plane, he chased a moving delivery truck 20,000 feet below, landing straight on a waiting Lexus. The content became the foundation of an integrated campaign.
