I don’t know if there are many passionate drivers that would say no to a BMW M5. It’s among the most powerful sedans that one could buy and that makes it a very interesting car. But what do we have here? A BMW M5 ad that won’t show you lines and curves of a car but a funny puppy that was pushed under the seat.
The ad says “The new BMW M5. Never underestimate the influence of the centrifugal force.”
I bet they are trying to say it’s damn powerful and they managed (at least with me).

Centrifugal force is varied on and / or by it’s co-axis, meaning it would only throw the dog out the window, one way or the other, if the force itself where generated on a clockwise or counter clockwise and perpendicular direction to the forward movement of the car itself.
It’s not fictional. One example, a C-type or “Centrifugal” type supercharger, is belt driven and feeds on wasted or unspent energy of the crankshaft, hence a clockwise or counter clockwise perpendicular to the cars forward movement / motion.

Seems like BMW is moving away from the safety angle and addressing the fast and sporty market.

Ehhh…except centrifugal force would throw the dog out of the car through the window, not push it into the backseat. And centrifugal force is a fictional force.
