The commercial was shot using a drone, which starts off following behind the three cars, catching up as they slow for the corner. Then comes the first surprise.

The drone swoops through the passenger window of the middle car, the Toyota 86. Whizzing past the driver's nose, it pops out the opposite side and flies on, camera still rolling.

Staying with the three cars, next the drone dives through the window of the GR86 leading the pack. Hurtling straight through, it goes on to film the car from mid-air. The commercial ends with the text "THE FR" and "GR86" superimposed over the cars.

Just how were these images captured? That question is answered in a behind-the-scenes video released at the same time as the commercial.

The video opens with Takeshi Nozoe, the creative director who dreamed up what some would consider a harebrained idea. He reveals that the project came initially from Morizo (Akio Toyoda's alter ego).
