Aston Martin is using a viral video contest to market and promote their four door supercar. There are three separate videos that can be viewed and clues can be found throughout them for a chance to win great prizes. Prizes range from $5,000 to a brand new $200,000 Aston Martin Rapide. Not too shabby!
Be sure to check out the cameo from rapper/producer Swizz Beatz in the Aston Martin video contest as well!
