Audi did win 6 straight, the missing victory you speak of in 2003 was won by Bentley. Bentley is part of Audi. Get your facts straight Prof.

Also, anyone who knows cars agrees BMW’s are for clowns. Enough said.

they’re all fake. notice how behind the lettering like “congratulations to..” it’s a little blurry. that only happens when someone types on a picture in ms paint. at least it happens when i do it… so to the creators: next time use photoshop =D

Subaru’s ad is so out of line it nearly makes me mad. Looks don’t win La Mans, looks don’t win car of the year (it’s a combo of looks, handling, performance and price). And BMW’s V10 won top prize at World Engine of the Year two years in a row!

Booo to Subaru for jumping on the wrong brand wagon with the wrong message.

Thankyou poster ‘Mike’ Being a proud Leonberg boy, and With my duties based here in Germany, I do not get to Converse in English as often as I would like. I as we all do as people enjoy the opportunity to learn. Perhaps you might enjoy to learn the German language!
The Misrepresentation I have remarked to is that We are the winners of ’six cosecutive 24 hours of Le mans’ when in actuality the historic victories took place in the years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Also I belive it could be viewed upon as slanderous to an extent that these pround Companys would engage in banter of this nature.

Thankyou for positve comments regardless posters.

i know for a fact that the BMW ad is real as i saw it in an issue of top gear i believe it was. the audi and subaru ones im not sure of, but the first place i saw the bmw one was a magazine.

only the bmw one is valid coz the the car being advertised actually won the award.

Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn – This is not Slanderous or a misrepresentation, it’s fact and it’s not demeaning the product directly. Also, if you are the “Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn” you claim to be, I would expect you to be able to spell advertisement correctly.

Audi obviously is a superior car when comapred to the two wankers. I do think the ad spat is hilarious though!

And then Microsoft and Disney will give you $4000… These ads look as fake as 90% of everything that’s really “true” on the internet. Put an alien’s head on Nancy Reagan’s body and put it on the cover of Star / National Enquirer / Globe. The internet and photoshop are the new trash magazines. Nothing is real. Or, not as much as people think anyway.

hilarious ad’s, their amazing. Wish Audi had real wheel drive though. I love their cars, but im afraid there is no replacement for rear wheel. Stupid front wheels always have the back end floating around. Ex: mazda 6 at 100km on a strait, slight S in the road, back end starts to lift. and its supposed to be sporty

Andre Neves may I remind you many new technologies have come from race cars such as F1 and Quattro. So dismissing that Le Mans victories isn’t smart.

Regardless of the authenticity (and the Subaru ad looks fake), this is just pathetic. Petty talk from BMW and Audi and then Subaru jumps in? Get a life…….

Yeah, probably fake. But I wouldn’t mind seeing a lot mroe of these.

Yeah I thought the Audi one looked kind of funny thought maybe it was a bad scan or something.

fakes… The Audi ad is a dead give away. Anyone that knows anything about design can easily spot the stretched type in the Audi Ad… These are huge companies and they shell out the big dollars for the top designers… Good designers don’t stretch type…

Also the type for the Subaru ad, although not stretched is just a bad choice. I doubt that type choice would make it to publication…

The BMW ad is the most convincing, but the background does seem suspect.

Nor is that an A4 in the supposed “ad”. Its an A6.

hilarious but the audi one is very weak tho
its not an a4 that actually won the award that they are bragging about.

Funny indeed, but my fav is still Audi (despite working at a BMW dealership. Audi was my favorite before BMW.).

Hey professor Winterkorn, keep up the good work, I’m loving your cars. How did youget the new Allroad to Prince Charles already when it has not been officially released yet?

All three advertizments are indeed fake. BMW AG and Fuji Heavy Industries have been informed by representitives here at Audi AG. It is Audi policy to take a firm stance against misrepresentation and slanderous activities.
