One of the perks of being a sponsor for the upcoming Need For Speed movie for Ford is the opportunity to use the film’ hype to promote their products. In fairness though, the product they are promoting here is an absolute star in its own right. It’s the new 2015 Ford Mustang.
Granted, the film’s hero car is an old-generation, heavily tricked-out Mustang. But the new generation model will make a guest appearance towards the end of the movie, when everything is sorted and Aaron Paul can drive into the horizon with the girl – the perfect cliché.
The Mustang Need For Speed commercial is a good one, but we’re not sure about the message it delivers. How can a car help you forget about getting set up, convicted, and incarcerated? Does the Mustang have some sort of magical power? Or perhaps it comes with some kind of strong drug that helps you forget things!
