There's another short film that you probably haven't seen yet, it's a short film, black and white, that features a beetle. it's sort of the prequel to the first Herbie film. I've only seen it once on TV and unfortunately I can't find it anywhere.
But have you ever seen that Logo with a Gap?? between the V and W. Makes no sense since the 2 always X at their intersection. Hence Volks Wagon. with an O.
@@TheSingularPatriot It’s amazing what you can find quickly instead of typing a comment and expecting others to find out for you. What is a gigawatt? A gigawatt is a unit of power equal to one billion watts or 1,000 megawatts.
Yes, its scary! In some shots, especially where he looks over his shoulder out of the small side window, I'd swear it was 1966 Simon Templar! This guy could have made a fortune as a double if he had just been closer to Moore's age....wrong time and place... Still, he got a charming and very amusing little VW commercial out of it!
This was an ad for the Mexican/Brazilian market long after production ceased for the US market in 1977 (1979 for the Super). The Delorean didn't even exist until 1981.
I don't know whether many people know this, but there are many Film Directors (who for some inexplicable reason) like to have a Volkswagen Beetle at some stage (On Set) whilst they are filming. Car appeals to millions. It's even in a Woolworths Grocery / Car insurance Ad (Australia) whilst writing this. It looks like a Mauve color, possibly a nice '67. Seeing this Clip, I swear that I was watching the (very young) Roger Moore, he's so good that he could be picked (By Chubby Brocoli) for a new Bond Film. A tribute to the real Roger Moore. I've owned a '71 Beetle for 20 years, and used daily. It's now 100% EV and Tesla - Powered.
Not true . 60% of all deloreans are still functional and they are well built long lasting reliable cars the very idea of the car company phylisopy behind delorean . The car was a lame performer as far as speed and acceleration but very reliabe
Etyere Petyere ....lol...My mother worked opposite a dealership in London back in the 80’s and a customer got stuck in one and local fire service had to release him from the car lol
Roger Moore as James Bond jumped in a yellow Citroen 2CV when his Lotus was blown up. Racing the baddies down a mountain side taking short cuts in For Your Eyes Only...
In 1981, I had the privilege of being able to photograph the very first DeLorean to be shipped to America for the purpose of commercials ahead of them being shipped to any dealers. I just took the photos for myself because I love cars and I had never seen anything like this before [real, not just a model] --- I happened to work right next door to the studio in Hollywood which would make the first commercial.
Jajaja no había visto este comercial hasta ahora, que divertido ..!!! si lo hubieran filmado hoy en día, sería el triunfo del auto minimalista vs el hiper tecnológico.
When he first got in the Delorean and closed the door I though the joke was Bond being trapped in the car. Many discovered to their misfortune when the door is pulled shut and you discover a dead battery - you can't open the electric powered inside door locks. And of course you have the keys with you inside! So they can't get you out! :)
La mejor respuesta del DeLorean DMC 12 a la Volkswagen fue a traves de la película de volver al futuro, principalmente en la escena de la persecución entre Marty McFly en el DeLorean y los Terroristas Libios en la VW Kombi en el Twin Pines Mall.
Delorean cars were made in northern ireland from 1981 to about 83 . terrible quality from the start . I lived about 100 miles from the factory where they were assembled . the old beetles were a beauty to drive . not a lot of power , but you always got to where you were going .
The commercial is for the '84 Beetle or even a later model. Keep in mind the Beetle was made in Mexico until 2003 with very little changes. By the way I remember watching this ad back in the days and I had no idea they were using another iconic vehicle (we were introduced in Mexico to the DMC brand thanks to BTTF). And I'd love to have the chance to drive a VW Beetle again if I could...

The reason Bond couldn't start the Delorean was he needed 1.21 gigawatts.
right
1.21 jigawatts!!!!!

Why did this take 10 years to reach my watch list?
I knew I remembered an ad like this in the 80’s. I looked for it for years!
Imagine how De Lorean owners felt! 😁
Don't be sad! It took 14 years for me.
As a DeLorean fanatic and a James Bond fan, this made me chuckle.
And no one forget How Brave a VW was !!!! Since Battlefields in WW2 to Millions famillys around world.
He has every mannerism of Roger Moore, he's an absolute clone.. brilliant

That was the best Beetle commercial ever!!!!
0:45 Beetle had summon way before Tesla haha
Its funny because it’s true. Except maybe the part when Mr. Bond calls the VW with a sort of 80s Apple watch.
Nah people do all sorts of bizarre things with a beetle. For sure someone made a beetle that you can call from a smartwatch

Why choose a VW Beetle over a Delorean DMC 12? It's an iconic time machine. Besides the beetle being an iconic Racing car numbered 53.
NO ONE would expect James Bond in a VW beetle ... the Perfect under-cover vehicle 👓👤

Then he took a 2cv and escaped some bad guys.
The delorean has many problems in real life actually
Yeah It broke down as soon as Marty got to 1955, then again when he was just about to go back to 1985...

B Brunson Please , don’t drink
The bug is probably faster than the Delorean.
LOL!! Love em both... Roger Moore and The VW Beetle 🪲
Lol the Vw Beetle is a classic but I would say the DeLorean, is not the worst car ever
My first car, a '71 in this exact color (used). Including mine we had (4) in the family; a '66, '71, '72, and a '75.

You should share those photos. DeLorean enthusiasts would love to see them.
So a Roger Moore look-alike, makes fun of an over-teched out Delorean years before Doc and Marty?
What si your song
It's for Marty McFly, not James Bond! :D
And for Emmet "Doc" Brown, too.
The low res had me thinking it was actually Roger Moore.
Looks like the 80's
Sure is!
Jajaja no había visto este comercial hasta ahora, que divertido ..!!! si lo hubieran filmado hoy en día, sería el triunfo del auto minimalista vs el hiper tecnológico.
Asi era el vocho,, muy poco complicado, y muy aguantador y rendidor 👏🏻👏🏻👍👍👌
This could apply to today's typical car. Bring back the air cooled beetle.
Bond, the first and last time he didn’t listen to Q.
if James Bond would have headbutted the steering wheel the car would have started.
when the wheels came off the delorean i thought it was gonna fly away. i was pleasantly suprised...
Sin duda.....LA LEYENDA.
Gracias por existir.
La verdad si la mejor compra yo estoy contento con mi Volkswagen beetle
Bro that beep sounded like herbie's beep
I feel like the writers of Specter saw this and took notes
I learned how to drive in a beetle, with no instructor!
Nice detail: The Delorean got its chassis based on the Y-frame of the 70ies Lotus.
VW advert doesn’t seem very Roger Moore and never knew he did a commercial like this
That wasn't him. Just a lookalike.
The Delorian was the Tesla of its day.
Nice music from Goldfinger brah 👍
Maybe they couldn't rent a Lotus Esprit and instead chose a Delorean for resemblance 😅
Why who could ever imagine Jamesh Bongh driving a Volkshwagen?
VW is a nazi car maker!
South American?
Did you ever study geography?
Find out where Mexico is located.
Vw really called out the delorean for being crap here
Brilliant!
Muito legal o James Bond dirigindo o Fusca. Que ano passou este comercial ?
Eu tava lendo os comentarios, e eu vi que é dos anos 80. Provavelmente a metade dos anos 80
Approximately 1982

That guy looks more like roger Moore than roger Moore himself!!!
LOL! Yeah, I have watched this multiple times because the actor is so eerily similar looking to Roger Moore circa 1966 in The Saint.

That Volkswagen acutally comes with a wrist remote control ...
EXCELENTE CAR 👍👍
The footage of the Delorean wasn't scripted, it really was just that unreliable.
Q branch got the last laugh.
This has to be around 1970ish. This beetle is at least a 67. I had a 66. I'd own one again in a heartbeat.

Accurate depiction of a DeLorean
Si Elon Musk vió este comercial últimamente... Debió suspirar de alivio porque el Beetle dejó de fabricarse!!
The air-cooled superiority of SIMPLICITY. The same reason why the Sportster is still on top. At least till the EPA kills it as it did w/ the Beetle.
I always loved those cars, as I hate sedans and sports cars, and a Delorean is one of them.
-No seas tan crédulo Mcfly
Trusty beetle
Roger Less. I mean Moore whoops!
An early Cybertruck prototype, and just as reliable.
Better built than the Cyber truck, which tells you everything you need to know.
Cool 👍
But at least he already has the hover conversion!
Me imagino la reacción de Citroën al ver este comercial, ya que James Bond promocionó mucho el 2CV por la película sólo para tus ojos
my beetle,a mixture from 1957 and 1971 has a WEISER ENGINE with enough power for 007 James Bond.
El fiel y confiable Vocho !!
The one VW ad I didn’t like
und er rollt und rollt und rollt und rollt und rollt und rollt
Very funny especially because it's Roger Moore.
Is it? No.
Well this isn’t James Bond.
Excelente
Bit of an insult to Delorean. M
Who's the Roger Moore lookalike?
Could be his stunt double
It's Herbie Bond😂😂😂😂😂
Classic!
