The Nissan GT-R Porsche Killer Ad Targets German Drivers

— February 24, 2011 — Autos
Porsche drivers in Germany were the target of the recent Nissan GT-R Porsche Killer ad. Two blonde bombshells cruised the streets of Germany, sticking a decal of the rear-end of a GT-R on the windshields of Porsches.

The Nissan GT-R Porsche Killer ad is ingenious. I can't imagine how German drivers felt seeing a massive decal decorating their front window. Despite the risk, Nissan's guerrilla ad campaign has apparently paid off. Nissan reported a 23% increase in test drive requests over the next two weeks after this campaign aired.
