Cool Lexus ad spotted! Jeb Corliss straps on this wingsuit and hijacks a Lexus RX on the move!

Lexus invited Jeb Corliss, a wingsuit pioneer, to get behind the wheel of the all-new Lexus RX in Australia and the result is nothing less than an amazing ad

A high-stakes car jacking appears to be the focus of a well-crafted new Lexus ad starring one of the world's foremost wingsuit pilos, Jeb Corliss.

Created by M&C Saatchi, it is supposed to represent the Lexus' "belief in a confident new mindset", with the ad following Corliss as he jumps from 12,000 feet in his wingsuit before landing on the back of a flatbed trailer carrying the new Lexus RX.





While his accomplice lands in front of the truck forcing it to stop, Corliss lands on the back, jumps in the RX and drives it off. The ad can be viewed in full here:



The new film will run on TV, cinema and digital media, while the campaign also enjoys a large social media element. On its launch, Lexus has also taken out a Youtube masthead ad inviting people to view the ad in a 360 degree video format, which you can also watch here (use your touchpad to navigate 360 degrees around the video frame):


In a press release, Jeb Corliss said, "I've been a Lexus driver for over seven years, so when Lexus Australia approached me to come up with a brave and challenging way to get behind the first RX in Australia, I was excited to push limits and take viewers of the film alongside me through a virtual reality rig."

Meanwhile, Andy Dilallo, M&C Saatchi Sydney Chief Creative Officer, said, "It took a brave client to step forward and set up delivery of their first RX in such a daring way. In taking a risk and creating this content, Lexus has produced iconic work with a fresh and unique brand perspective"

For those of you staying this Saturday night, hope you find this Lexus RX ad entertaining.

Cheers

All Lexus
