We have to admit; this is one of the coolest commercials we’ve seen in quite a while. Of course, when it comes to car commercials, no brand comes out with better pieces than Mercedes-Benz->ke187.

“It’s the universal gesture, a way of telling the world you ‘did it’ without saying a word,” the narrator of this commercial says. And to prove his point, we’re treated to clips of people – some famous, some not so – raising their arms in a sign of victory and triumph. Yep, there’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Muhammad Ali, Michelle Kwan, and Roger Federer raising their arms in sheer joy.

Then, the video cuts to the Mercedes SLS AMG opening its gullwing doors. You don’t need to be Einstein to figure out what the symbolism behind that is.

Awesome commercial, Mercedes-Benz.
