Its reported to be the most expensive television commercial ever created. Shell filmed a variety of historic Ferrari Formula 1 cars blasting through the streets of some of the world's greatest cities.

The crew visited Rome, Monaco, Rio, Sydney, New York and Hong Kong during the month-long shoot. Called "Circuit", the 2 minute ad celebrates 60 years of Shell and Ferrari working together.

The incredibly vivid commercial is the brainchild of Partizan's Antoine Bardou Jacquet and producer David Stewart.

Shell is reported to have spent about $ 3.9 million for this 2-min ad...

but i've also found these info while searching for the most expensive ads -

1. The Guinness ad 'horses' cost in excess of £5.000.000 ($11.000.000)

2. The most expensive commercial for TV was shot in 2004, for Chanel with Nicole Kidman. It costs in excess of $36 million, with Kidman alone charging $4+ million.

3. The Honda Accord commercial (remember, the car parts chain reaction) cost over $6.000.000 to make.
