Audi filed more patents than NASA in the development of the A6. That’s the idea behind this effects-filled TV advertisement, “Satellite”. An old man in the mid west of the United States is walking home from work. We then see glints of metal as a metallic craft hurtles through the atmosphere. It looks like a space shuttle re-entering the earths atmosphere but it later reveals itself as the Audi A6. Titles: ‘To date, NASA have filed 6,509 patents. To get to the A6, Audi have filed 9621 patents.” The ad finishes with the car plunging through deep water.
