What keeps us going once we are nothing but the best?
Everyone is driven by the urge to improve and seek for perfection in their lives. For over 130 years, Mercedes has been constantly improving their technologies to stay at the top of the game. With climate change as humanities biggest challenge in the 21st century, car manufacturers worldwide are faced with the need to look further and step up their game. This spec commercial visualises Mercedes ambitious goal, to evolve their entire fleet away from fossil fuel into a new future with renewable energies. A car manufacturer can not rest and look back at their past victories but constantly has to try to stay ahead. In a whirlwind of digital and analog images, this spot merges a human athlete with Mercedes top of the line street car GT63s which restlessly tries to break free of its past limitations.
