Quake effects and some CG car moves.

Lamborghini Aventador from Sehsucht™ on Vimeo.


Sehsucht has produced an impressive range of car ads in the past but this one is a cinematic thrill ride through the Coyote Dry Lakebed in California.

Lamborghini has presented their latest new sports car driving at high speed through the desert dry lake beds. Dodging several obstacles, bit earth bound and atmospheric. I can imagine a price tag on that baby that would make driving on that particular day and location not the best of decisions.  Perhaps the driver has not been keeping up with the current events. I digress.

The Lamborghini Aventador is shown ripping through its gearbox with 700 PS horsepower, looking - powerful and classy just like its namesake, Spanish bull legend Aventador - relentlessly fighting the forces of nature in a cinema release three minute special effect thunderstorm, shot in the Californian desert Coyote Dry Lakebed and directed by Ole Peters.
