To celebrate the launch of the 'vRS Treatment' TV ad (see it on the Facebook page) – Skoda is sending a giant ice cream to popular UK beach resorts, to serve up 6,500 servings of (giant, FREE!) ice cream to Brits as it tours the UK over the kid's Summer holidays, starting this bank holiday weekend.
Literally, cool!
The giant vRS ice cream van was launched at Great Yarmouth today, where local children tucked in to huge ice creams. Members of the public will have a chance to sample free ice creams as the giant ice cream van embarks on a national tour in the coming month.
To celebrate the launch of the Octavia vRS – the fastest ŠKODA ever – the company set a team of engineers the task of bringing the same qualities that go into the car to other everyday objects. The result is every child’s dream - a giant ice cream van complete with 5 foot monster truck wheels and four mega speakers.
The giant ice cream van, which measures over 21 feet, weighs in at a chunky 5.5 tonnes. It took the team of engineers over 3 weeks to create and stars in the new advert for the Octavia vRS, which hits TV screens on Sunday 25 August. The ice cream van features alongsideother souped-up versions of everyday gadgets including a giant toy ‘trike’, lawnmower with multiple exhaust pipes and flaming go-faster stripes, and the vRS Man-Pram.
Heidi Cartledge, Head of Marketing at ŠKODA UK comments: "The Octavia vRS is not your average family car, and so we created an ice cream van that is also far from average! The giant ice cream van will be touring the UK handing out up to 6,500 servings of free ice cream, offering members of the public a fun sense of what you could experience if you vRS’d your life."
The giant ice cream van will be visiting and serving free ice cream at:
