I just saw a thing on Speed channel about it. They said it was shot in Paris and took over 600 takes, which implies that it was actually done and not just CGI. That's hard to believe.

yup thats right, over 600 takes to get it perfect and took engineers 6 months to plan it I believe...really incredible because it is all real, nothing fake

There was some guy that did something like that, one continuous shot and it was over 45 minutes long.

I have trouble dealing with the tires going up the ramp. One seems to almost stop on the way up.

You won't see it on US tv cause its a right hand drive dash. And the tires are weighted on the uphill side with ball bearing, also used in the car. Truly remarkable....

The advertised car is not even sold in the US. It's an EU ad for anEU spec car. Cool commercial tho'

IMHO, there's no way in hell that's real. And them saying it took over 600 takes doesn't necessarily imply it's real either, they would use a real camera and track its movements into the computer, then composite the CG with the real.
