VIDEO: Lamborghini Reventon Roadster Promo Tells us What Are the Chances of Owning One

You would assume that anybody with basic math skills could probably figure out what the chances are of owing one of the 20 (more or less) Lamborghini Reventon Roadster models that are destined for production. However, we must say that this promotional film, which was created by the German agency Philipp und Keuntje for the Frankfurt Motor Show, somewhat confused us.

Bypassing all the other stats mentioned in the ad, it is claimed that the chances of owning the €1,1 million Italian special is 1 in 700,000,000.

Okay, so world's total population is approximately 6,8 billion (not that it matters, but we also learned that there are about 134 million babies born every year).

If we're not making a humiliating blunder, shouldn't it be 1 in 340,000,000? That is, unless Lamborghini is planning to limit total production of the topless Reventon to around 10 examples or the film is talking about the number of vehicles available for sale excluding those spoken for.

Well, either way, someone (yes that is me) spent way too much time on a promo film that to be completely honest, is nothing special, to say the least.

VIDEO: 2010 SAAB 9-5 Sedan Promo Film Plus Frankfurt Show Interview with Saab Boss

Saab has dropped an official promotional video of its 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show star, the all-new 9-5 sedan that will be heading our way sometime in early 2010. You can check it out after the break along with a second video that contains a short interview with Saab's managing director Jan Ake Jonsson. The latter talks about the firm's newest creation as well as the latest developments in the company and in particular about Beijing Automotive's interest in buying a minority stake in the firm that has agreed to buy Saab from GM, Swedish sports car maker Koenigsegg Group.

2011 Hyundai Sonata YF Video Galore with Presentation and Promotional Films

Yesterday, we brought you news and a high-resolution photo album of Hyundai's spanking new 2011 Sonata YF that was presented in its home market of South Korea. And now we have the first videos of the fancy-looking (at least for a mainstream model) mid-size sedan that marks a significant departure style-wise from the previous generations of the Sonata. Whereas the KDM model gets a 165HP 2.0-liter gasoline engine, the North American variant, which will be produced at Hyundai's plant in Alabama from early 2010, will be offered at launch with a 2.4-liter direct-injection four-cylinder unit.

Aside from the two-minute long promotional film, we've also added clips from the official presentation of the new Sonata that took place in Seoul. For more detailed information on the Korean firm's Toyota Camry-fighting saloon check out our previous post here.

VIDEO: New Cadillac Spot Previews Production CTS Coupe

General Motors has released a new 60-second spot for its Cadillac brand called "Re-ignition", which showcases the firm's forthcoming models including the CTS Sport Wagon, the new 2010 SRX crossover and most importantly, at the final segment of the clip, the production version of the CTS Coupe that is due to arrive in U.S. showrooms the summer of 2010.

We only get a quick glimpse of the two-door sports coupe, but from what we can tell, the vehicle's exterior styling has remained remarkably close to the concept car that was shown at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show.

According to a recent announcement from GM, the CTS Coupe's range will include a BMW M3-challenging (we doubt that it will target the more expensive M6 Coupe) "V" model boasting the same 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with 556-horsepower as the CTS-V Sedan.

VIDEO: Clever MINI Cooper S vs the Demon Carts Commercial with a Stephen King Twist

Watching this spot for the MINI Cooper S that was created by agency Butler, Shine, Stern and Partners, the first thing that came to mind was Stephen King's horror novels. The witty commercial tries to show off the crisp and go-kart-like handling of the MINI Cooper S as the driver of the car evades an army of "evil" shopping carts with minds of their own that keep attacking him in a super-market parking lot. Follow the jump to check out the video.

Thanks for the tip Scott!
