Audi describes this spot simply called "Duel" as a political satire, but apart from the badges at the beginning, we fail to see anything political about it.Sure, the two protagonists are a male and a female, and they're clawing at each other's eyes for the whole duration, but if that was the catch, then Audi isn't very good with subtlety.However, maintaining the same parallelism, the German brand does imply that getting to drive an Audi RS7 - even just to park it - is just as important as becoming the President of the United States of America.I'm sure a lot of you fans of the Ingolstadt manufacturers will agree with this evaluation, but the rest of us will just regard it as the kind of exaggeration only the advertising industry could get away with.There isn't too much of an idea behind the spot, but Audi shows that even a bland script can be turned into a Hollywood-style action film with the right production crew.
