"The doll that chose to drive"
The centrepiece of this initiative is a short, animated 3D film called “La muñeca que eligió conducir” (The doll that chose to drive), starring a brave doll who decides to cross the chasm to reach to the toy cars and break with convention by driving an R8 for the first time.
The story is also a metaphor for the gender stereotyping that still exists in the driving world, which starts in childhood with the mistaken belief that toy cars are only for boys. Audi has produced a limited edition toy of the car and the doll. These two toys, usually kept apart by gender stereotypes, have been brought together this Christmas to show that play, like driving, is a gender free area.
