While millions of people anxiously await the 2012 Super Bowl between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots, we have gathered all the best Super Bowl car commercials for the time being. The largest car manufacturers have to get their ad spot for the game, because many people focus on the commercials more than the game itself. Last year we saw some great advertisements, but each year keeps getting better, so check out the best Super Bowl car commercials after the jump.

Prindiville Design Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4
Car tuning at its finest has been brought to us by Prindiville Design with their latest package for the all new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. The London-based tuners focused on developing one of the first complete aero kits made of aircraft grade carbon fiber for the V12 supercar. These aftermarket body parts will save up to 65% of the weight when compared to the factory pieces. As you can see, they modified everything on the Lamborghini Aventador, from front to back with unique styling.
Wald International Porsche Panamera Tuning
The Porsche Panamera 4-door sports car is the latest luxury ride to receive new body styling from the notorious Wald International “Black Bison” line of kits. In typical fashion, the Japanese tuners solely focus on the exterior aero parts with very few performance modifications. Upon ordering this package, customers will receive a complete carbon fiber kit featuring a new front bumper, rear bumper, rocker panels, rear lid spoiler, and rear wheel fender extensions. Several new air vents have also been added to give the Porsche Panamara extra aggressive look.
New Acura NSX Will Be Built In US
Acura finally made an announcement at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show of the new Acura NSX set to be produced by Honda R&D America. This means the supercar will be constructed at the plant located in central Ohio, and US citizens will get a first hand look of the finished product in the next couple years. They say this Acura NSX will go on sale within three years, giving it an approximate arrival of 2015. What they didn’t tell us until the unveiling is that is looks VERY similar to the Audi R8.
Marangoni Range Rover Evoque HFI-R
We have a ton of pictures for you of the Marangoni Range Rover Evoque HFI-R. The first thing that jumps out are the red Marangoni tires, but the brunette model spices it up even more. We’re surprised that colored tires have not yet gained popularity among tuners. Maybe because they are hard to keep looking new, or the fact that they are more expensive then regular rubber. These M-Power EvoRed high performance tires are made of a special compound with high silica content that is said to improve fuel consumption as well. The ones you see here were stretched on a new set of O.Z. Racing 20-inch alloy rims measuring 255/30R20.
2011 LA Auto Show: Subaru BRZ STI Concept
Subaru had this tease on display at the 2011 LA Auto Show called the Subaru BRZ STI Concept. Although it is not in production, this is one of the first Subaru sports cars we have seen that is not all-wheel-drive nor turbocharged. While it still holds the famous Subaru four-cylinder boxer engine, this is one of the first live appearances of what the Subaru BRZ STI will look like.
VATH Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG
The tuners at VATH have released an elegant kit for the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG luxury sports car. If you think this car lacks some power, then turn to the German tuning firm who has boosted output from 525 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, to a mind blowing 660 HP and 990 Nm of torque. The result of the Mercedes tuning is a new sprint time from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds, 200 km/h in 12.0 seconds, and a new top speed of 325 km/h or 202 mph.
Novitec Tridente Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale
Put on your sunglasses for this bright yellow paint job, however I’d still rock it since it is a Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale. This is the lighter and more sophisticated Maserati GT since it features a few upgrades the original never saw. Novitec and their Tridente division for tuning Maserati sports cars stepped up to the plate with the 4.7-liter Ferrari engine, hooking it up with a new supercharger and several other goodies.
Design-World Ford Mustang GT
German tuning firm Design-World (Marko Mennekes) has released a brand new package for the American Ford Mustang GT. It started off as a completely black Ford Mustang GT, then the tuners decided to add metallic orange CFC films along with white and black to make it extremely unique. New body parts for the Mustang GT include front and rear bumpers, side skirts, rear diffuser, and a stylish front grille. Performance tuning came next.
G-Power BMW X5 Typhoon Update
G-Power is at it again, this time updating the Typhoon kit for the BMW X5 with the xDrive48i model. This car comes powered by a 4.8-liter V8 powerplant, and has received the SK III supercharger system to boost the figures. After the BMW X5 tuning was completed, the car now produces a stunning 525 horsepower and 600 newton meters of torque. At the track it can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds while reaching an overall top speed of 275 km/h.
Novitec Alfa Romeo Giulietta Complete Kit
Novitec loves to tune Italian cars and has now released a new kit for the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Starting under the hood with the 1.4 TB 16 V engine, Novitec increased the numbers to 141 PS from the factory 120 PS. The 1.4 MultiAir was boosted from the original 170 PS to 195 PS, and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta holding the 1.8-liter turbocharged powerplant received a total of 261 PS and 385 newton meters of torque.
Hennessey Lotus Exige Venom GT
The new Hennessey tuned Lotus Exige called the Venom GT has been debuted at the McCall Motorworks Revival. This was part of the buildup for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and features the Lotus supercar announcement with all of its 1,200 horsepower greatness. Hennessey plans to produce five of these cars per year at a price of $950,000 (€660,190 / £577,850). It may sound like a lot for a Lotus Exige, but with the sports car holding a 6.2-liter V8 powerplant producing 1,200 hp (895 kW / 1,217 PS) and 1,155 lb-ft (1,564 Nm) of torque, we are sure some car collectors will pick this beast up.
