The high-performance coupe made a grand entrance with a television commercial that tells potential buyers to 'go play'. This is being supported by a through-the-line campaign.

Senior Manager for Marketing Communications and Planning, Pieter Klerck, briefed Draftfcb Johannesburg to develop a campaign that showcased the new car's road-holding capabilities and dynamic abilities.

"Positioned in the sports coupe segment, the Toyota 86 is gutsy, sleek and speedy; a true driver's car," he said.

"With design input from a Japanese Drift King, Dorikin Keiichi Tsuchiya, the 86 has been welcomed by the motoring world and hailed as one of the most exciting to break onto the scene this year. The execution needed to convey that."

Moody and performance driven, the resultant ad burst into television lounges around the country with heart-stopping direction and impactful audio.

It was conceived by a Draftfcb Johannesburg team comprising executive creative director James Cloete, creative director Tian van den Heever, copywriter Liam Galt and art director Danni Meneghin off a strategy put together by strategic planner Justin Cloete.

Draftfcb Johannesburg Executive Business Director, Mike Di Terlizzi, commented: "The motoring world has been waiting for a vehicle to shake it out of its doldrums ... and many are predicting the Toyota 86 is it.

"Drifting was the ideal motoring technique to use to showcase its capabilities. Shot at The Rock drifting race track in Brakpan over one day by production house Bioscope, the ad debuted mid-August and is being supported by an extremely edgy print and outdoor campaign."
