Wow, DK-san doing his thing and making it look effortless....just another day at the office for him. Thanks @slidethis for finding this commercial!

Awesome commercial!

iirc some member from Australia posted about this commercial while back... but it might be just in Australia section and not in general FR-S forum

haha i can see the haters saying "oh the 86 rigged that track as its based on how it can turn and perform"

Toyota Aus is still using the "Oh what a feeling" slogan! :bow: WTF America!! Thanks for sharing

like

They took my advice.

I remember saying make a commercial with Keiichi Tsuchiya, print money.

Drift King in Drift Queen ... what else ?

xD

i wait to see tv commercials in my country (only 1 commercial only seen on internet actually ... even if its said its a TV commercial never seen it ...)

(ps : Country : France)

That commercial was epic. I wish I could go to that track.

"When completed"

Did anyone notice that at the end of the video ?

Where in aust ? Annual meet when it's completed ?,!

@kfc
Post it in the aust section.

anyone know the name of the music in the commercial?

I think Toyota Aust. had good intentions for building a track with the release of the 86 as the impetus.

However from the lack of news since June/July when the video was released, I reckon that the plan was mothballed in the end.

In saying that, the "making of video" was only posted 1 month ago by Toyota Aust. So that is actually the most recent news we have... could still happen?

What an awesome ad! Thanks for posting!
I was at the movies yesterday and saw our ad (SA) for the first time on the big screen, way better than tv :)

I thought that was the highlight of the commercial actually

Where ever this track is.. i will buy a holiday house there.

1min 40sec...

Its in Broken Hill.

1000+km's from Sydney. :(

Thats where it was designed.. is there where its being built?

Next Sydney cruise to Broken Hill? :)

Yeah, it immediately caught my attention when I saw it. :w00t:

It's pretty sad that Toyota North America has lost it's fun and cool factor by passing it down to Scion. :thumbdown:

I have no idea who that old Jap bloke is, but if you want do a Toyota commercial driving on dirt in Australia, the driver should be Neal Bates.

i think you missed the point of this car buddy.

That guy is keichii Tsuchiya, he helped make the ae86 famous, which lead to the development of this car, which he also had input in designing.

if you dont know who he is, you need some education..
i suggest watching best motoring..

Target market for the 86 is 35-49 with a household income above $150k (not including your parents).

They made an advertisement pitched at kids who like cartoons and corollas held together with zip ties.

Should have used Neal Bates (who actually speaks English).

Keiichi Tsuchiya is a legendary badass! Loved this!!!

Stop being silly.

:D awesome. So happy I choose Hot Lava.

The target market in this country is me. i prefer KT to neil bates.
if i saw neil bates advertising the 86 i would be like.. you fucking idiots toyota, we dont care about neil bates. but KT? i nearly wet myself.

cool ad :w00t:

I agree..

Drifting is for fat guys and people who cant go around corners properly.

*waits for flame war*

Same here. This is a good commercial, and I get so happy every time I see a review or commercial with a hot lava car.

As a non Aussie, had no idea who Neal Bates is, but you'll be pleased to know that he has bought an 86! :happy0180:

Not putting under the bus here. But Keiichi tsuchiya career started before neal bates. Keiichi career started in in 1977 long before the Ae86 came out and he drove for toyotas=1984 Fuji Freshman series race (Toyota AE86)= 6 wins.
And neal bates ran 1991World Rally Championship 56th Toyota Celica GT-Four Neal Bates Motorsport. Thats when his career started. "CAREER" not driving. So I would see why keiichi tsuchiya would support the ae86. And the community would definitely know who tsuchiya. Im not saying truth, Im just stating facts.
