When I first saw this I thought it was some nice Photoshop work for a concept/proposal for Mercedes. After looking at the images I realized that BBDO, Toronto, actually built the props and created the blurred wall and sidewalk. That is pretty impressive. I’d like to see this in person to see if looks as good as it does in the photos.

According to the copy on the image, “To launch the Mercedes-Benz 2012 C-Class Coupe, one was parked in front of a motion blurred wall, sidewalk, and billboard that read: “Looks fast. Even in park. The 450hp 2012 C-Class Coupe.” To complete the motion-blur illusion, real 3D models of a motion blurred fire hydrant, parking sign, and mailbox were created to be part of the street scene.
