The new Audi R8 shoots for the moon in new video

Audi has created a new commercial entitled 'The Commander', which will feature during the Super Bowl, the biggest night of American football in the U.S.A. 

'The Commander' tells the story of a retired astronaut who rediscovers his lust for life. Surrounded by memories of the golden age of space exploration, the man sits solemnly, deep in reflection. When his son hands over the keys to a new Audi R8 V10 Plus, he gets behind the wheel and relives the thrill of a rocket-like ride under the stars. Viewers watch as newfound life stirs within the Commander, a reminder that amazing things happen when we shoot for the moon.

Appropriately backed by David Bowie's Spaceman, the commercial is a stirring look at Audi's newest sports car, with the new R8 being the fastest and most powerful Audi of all time. 

Check out the video above for a look at the new Audi R8 and its rocket-like performance.
