French auto-maker Peugeot has taken a parody approach to showing off the features of its 208 model in a new ad by BETC Paris.

Whereas most car commercials include show the vehicle zig-zagging around town as a narrator describes its various features, Peugeot’s spot has 9x World Rally Champion driver Sebastian Loeb defying the tyranny of the voice-over. Rather than use the airtime to demonstrate the car’s suite of technologies, Loeb arrogantly pulls off a series of stunts, refusing to play the game.

But his fun and games come to an end as he fails to pull off his final parking stunt – leaving the man behind the voice, who has grown frustrated by Loeb’s defiance, feeling triumphant.
