1M in the hands of Technical Pro Driver

Redadair · 12-28-2013, 11:26 AM

This is what the 1M is capable of in the hands of a Professional driver. Just for fun.

Styrofoam walls??

Redadair · 12-28-2013, 12:03 PM

^ Yes foam walls. I would love to give this a go in their car.

I will probably make a new hole in every wall

I remember this video from a couple of years ago (and another amazing vid of the 1M drifting on a helipad atop a skyscraper). As I recall, both videos were computer generated. In other words, the driver drove on an empty runway and drifted as we see--the walls were added afterwards to fit the drift path using computer animation.

(And, Santa Claus is not real!)

What's with this video suddenly making a resurgence?

3 of my friends have posted it on my Facebook wall in the last 2 weeks and now it's popped up here again...

Not criticizing the OP - there's bound to be people who haven't seen it before - just wondering why it's suddenly everywhere now?

Here are the three notorious 1M commercials that were released when the 1M was already on sale.

"Walls" 1M commercial (thread of June 8, 2011):

"Helipad" 1M commercial (thread of June 28, 2011):

The main reason I re-posed this old video was to remind the few who are on this forum complaining about bad handling issues of the 1M, and how the car isn't the problem, it's the driver.

Not to mention I like watching it.

Lay-Z M3 · 12-30-2013, 11:16 PM

As my mates Japanese girlfriend would say "Ohhh nice!"

Artemis · 12-21-2014, 05:11 PM

Quite likely the M4 flight deck commercial (2014) was put together by the same team as the one of the 1M commercials.

The top gear review is still my favorite video/review of the 1M. Jeremy is hard to please. Almost feels like he was paid handsomely for this.
