Volkswagen provides a trip to the surreal side with “Fight”, a television commercial in which a car designer must do battle with his Matrix-style clones. “The Golf sets the benchmark in its segment. So when we set ourselves the challenge to improve on the Golf Mk V our main target was to outdo ourselves. This commercial highlights in dramatic fashion exactly how hard that challenge was,” said Morna Steel, communications manager at Volkswagen UK.


The TV advert is set in the Volkswagen Polo factory in Germany, in the chief designer’s office. Karl Lohr, the engineer, challenges intruder after intruder to the music of the Jeans Team remix of Keine Melodien featuring MJ Lan. After he has defeated the last of his assailants the chief designer is seen looking at the new VW Golf. “Sometimes the only one you have to beat is yourself,” runs the voice over.

Hi,Speaking as a Martial Arts instructor, I would like to know who the main character is in the latest VW advert. He and I are roughly the same age and unless these are special effects, this guy is the real deal. Anyone know who he is?.
