Watch the BMW electric car ad - starring Schwarzenegger and Hayek

For the new model of the car, BMW has released an ad that will be shown at the Super Bowl.

The ad features Hollywood actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Salma Hayek as the Greek god Zeus and goddess Hera.

The two enjoy the sunshine in Palm Springs, California, where meanwhile Zeus is bored helping neighbors and others with their "electrical" problems.


On the other hand, Hera enjoys the pension, but knows her husband's problem. So she buys him a BMW iX while enjoying it.

The ad was shot to promote BMW's electric iX and features the xDrive 50 model. This model is powered by two electric motors that develop 516 hp and 764 Nm of torque, and has a 111.5 kWh battery. The range is between 491 and 521 km.

The offer will also include the iX M60 model, which delivers 610 hp and 1100 Nm of torque in Sport mode. In normal mode, this power is 532 hp and 1015 Nm. The extra power is reflected in the range, which in this case is 450 km. /Telegraph/
