MINI Plug-In Hybrid is the latest car from MINI. Even though it runs on electricity it still has the same unique go-kart feeling as a regular MINI. If you just test drive the car, you'll get it. Since central Stockholm is not the most optimal place to launch a test drive our mission was to create a billboard that showcased the Plug-In Hybrid in it's full glory while alluring people in to book a real test drive.

A billboard campaign was launched in Stockholm city with printed race tracks. Inspired from the scalextric racing game we made a similar game in augmented reality. By blending your smartphone with the racing track you could test drive a 3D MINI Plug-In Hybrid right on the billboard. Perfect for killing time while waiting for the second best way of commuting.

Highlight that MINI is a great car for driving in the city. And get people to test drive the new Plug-In Hybrid by letting them experience a MINI test drive.

The billboard campaign was live around 4 weeks in Stockholm city. We printed a race track on the billboard and build an app for any smartphone. The app recognized the race track by pointing you camera at the race track and landed a 3D MINI on the start line. You used a controller in the app to control the car. Every lap was timed and you could brag about your skills in social media. After the race was done you got an offer to book a test drive at your closest delar ship store.

Thousands of people enjoyed our AR-game while waiting for the bus. The actual test drives increased with 70,5 % compared to the month before.
