Lexus LS 460 Commercial: Chain “The Hard Way”

Posted by Kevin on January 14th, 2011

As part of their The Hard Way marketing campaign, Lexus has released a commercial that reinforces the strength of the LS 460 chassis:

Keep in mind, this actually happened — here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the commercial’s creation:

I can’t believe Scott Pruett parks a LFA underneath five cars suspended by a crane. Crazy.

Update: The videos have been updated and should work again.

So, if I'm correct and the five vehicles are:
  • LS: 4,244lbs.
  • RX: 4,178lbs.
  • GS: 3,704lbs.
  • ES: 3,580lbs.
  • IS: 3,527lbs.
That would be a combined total of 19,233 lbs, or 9.6 tons (!!!).

I love how after they try and pull the LS apart at the start, all the doors and bonnet open and close perfectly. That's craftmanship.

Fortunately I was able to view this before the link was locked down. Did Lexus request that it be pulled from your site, or just Youtube in general?

It's weird. The videos still seem to be on the site with the same comments, but yeah... can't view them with the link provided by Krew.

@Mitchell Stroud: btw, Lexus USA posted the videos themselves on their own channel.

I've updated the videos and they should work again -- not sure what happened there!

@krew: Thank you! Btw, you posted the commercial twice instead of posting it once along with the behind the scenes footage.

I'm not sure why my avatar picture didn't show up on my previous comment. Perhaps I typed in the wrong email address, oh well. :-)

This commercial was shown at least twice during the Patriots-Jets football game yesterday afternoon. The distant sound of the LFA's engine note made me point at the screen and say "yeeeah!!"
