Brief Explanation

To promote the Trailer Assist feature (makes it easier to back up with a trailer) we built a somewhat special trailer. The trailer makes it look like we are backing up in high speed. What really happens is that the trailer actually has an engine and towes the car.With this vehicle we drove around in different towns in Oslo. A lot of people reacted to it. Later the stunt also became online films, leading to a campaign site where people could book test drives, etc. In other words: An outdoor leading a larger campaign.
