Every time the vehicle accelerates a catchy promotional tune is played.

A gorgeous villa in the Italian Riviera and a relaxing atmosphere, these are the ingredients of the advertainment site created by Doorn & Roos for Martini in The Netherlands. Visitors to the Mansion can get their private pool with Martini, promoted with two viral videos (1 and 2). If you’re interested in getting the swimming pool, consider you are in The Netherlands, which means you are asked to pay 7€ for the delivery expenses [link via BlogFonk]
