There was a flurry of calls from VW Germany to VW Canada.

The Canadian team said they loved the idea.

The Germany headquarters said, no way in hell.

Eventually, the passion of the Canadian team won out.

Germany held their breath.

Now Duncan had to figure out how to shoot the commercial.

First, a helicopter powerful enough to lift a Volkswagen vertically off the ground had to be found.

Next, six classic VW Beetles were brought in.

Duncan wanted the car to fall right side up.

But when the first beetle was dropped from the helicopter, it fell trunk first because of the weight of the engine.

So, the engine was removed from the second beetle.

But when it was dropped, the wind took it and it fell sideways.

Three more attempts were made, but each time something unexpected happened that ruined the shot.

Now Duncan had five destroyed VW Beetles and only had one left.

Everybody held their breath.

The last Volkswagen was hoisted up by the helicopter and let go.

It fell perfectly.

The other way is to make a new Volkswagen.

The commercial then cut to exciting scenes of a VW Corrado speeding along a twisty road.

New, supercharged, 158 horsepower, 225 kilometer an hour Corrado.
