Global – In a playful twist on traditional car commercials, Porsche handed creative control to pop star Dua Lipa for its latest ad featuring the electric Porsche Macan.

The two-minute film, co-directed by Lipa and French director Clément Durou, was shot in Mexico City and showcases Lipa’s vivid imagination. The ad begins with the singer contemplating how she would direct a Porsche commercial, leading to a series of unexpected and extravagant scenes: speeding through a city, battling bad weather, outrunning horses and even taking a trip to the Moon.

Poking fun at the traditional tropes of car ads and subverting industry norms, the ad has the potential to attract a wider audience through Dua Lipa’s global appeal. The collaboration marks Lipa’s continuing partnership with Porsche, which began in November 2023.
