One of the most important factors in the ad, apart from the energy drink, was luxury sports cars. These cars were sponsored by Curated, and they made the advertisement more authentic. Bumstead’s crew got hold of vintage Lamborghinis and Ferraris for the shoot.

That?s the money, man.”?Finally, after the behind-the-scenes, the actual footage unfolded at the end of the YouTube video.
