Sam Coleman’s epic new commercial for VW GTI “The power of vrrr pha!”
The Power of Vrrr Pha announces the launch of VW’s next generation iconic Golf GTI. Set to a rousing isiXhosa version of Edith Piaf’s French song No Regrets, sung by Nonku Phiri, Sam’s new piece for Ogilvy Cape Town effortlessly blends the speed and power of the GTI with a humorous take on the effects the car has on the world it travels through.
