Audi Red Rhombus Escaping Into Real Space
Audi Red Rhombus: From Sketch to Spectacle
This Audi fake out of home ad begins in a bedroom, where glowing text on a wall prompts the viewer to turn their phone. A countdown from three to one runs as a picture frame displays a moving red Audi that transforms into a red rhombus. The rhombus slides out, toppling dominoes, and the camera pulls back to reveal a sleeping man. His headboard becomes a racetrack where the red car races, and a soft, furry grey Audi logo floats above his face before dropping under the bed, waking him. He looks out the window to see someone walking outside.
The scene cuts to a studio where the man, surrounded by art tools, closes a notebook that reopens as a laptop showing a video call with faces distorting like a funhouse mirror. He paints a red rhombus that becomes a clay-like red ball, which he strikes into the form of Audi rings. These fall and compress into a solid red rhombus trailing white smoke. He then browses an Audi magazine featuring vintage 1980 race spreads and archival clips, before turning to the camera with the floating rhombus above his palm. He edits the glowing, spinning shape on a computer, and watches as a phone on his desk displays text about chasing the shape globally, while another phone plays rhombus videos from locations including Iceland, New York, and Paris.
The video culminates with him pulling the red rhombus away from his forehead as a red Audi drives on a road, intercut with racing footage. The ad ends with him holding a phone where the red rhombus dominates the screen, illustrating how a simple sketch evolves into real motion through skill and craft. This dynamic CGI ad transforms a basic geometric idea into a fresh, relatable spectacle, highlighting Audi’s ambition to show how creativity and design can drive imagination into reality.
