Adam Hashemi of Furlined directed this spot which plays like a heist film, building suspense until the very end when the impending caper turns out to be a mundane slice of life. Turns out when you’re behind the wheel of an Audi S8, it’s natural to heighten every moment–even when you’re just waiting at the curb for your gal to buy a cup of coffee.
