Putting the brakes on death

Mercedes-Benz put a funny spin on the concept of death coming to call with an advert showcasing the braking performance of one of its models.

The “Sorry” campaign ran in 2010 and shows the Grim Reaper suddenly appear in the passenger seat of a car while it is being driven along by a man.

However, the driver manages to cheat death thanks to the marque’s Brake Assist Plus, much to the disappointment of his travelling companion.
