From the some-automakers-have-more-money-than-sense department comes a new commercial for the Audi RS6 (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/13/spy-shots-audi-rs6-sedan/). The minute-long teaser spot features some kind of synchronized gymnastics routine that we guess is supposed to signify a bunch of people working together like a finely tuned machine. We think there are some gymnasts imitating the pistons in the blisteringly fast RS6 V10, and there was a human crankshaft and some headlights too, but it's hard to tell with it being people in tights and all. The last three seconds is the first indication that this is a car commercial, as the front end of the sledge hammer RS6 is finally shown.

We know it's a teaser ad, but next time we'd like to see a little more sheet metal and a lot less flesh. Besides, didn't Ford just do the people as cars (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/video-ford-of-canada-makes-cars-out-of-people/) thing a couple months ago? Hit the jump to view the minute-long commercial, then let us know what you think in the comments.
