Audi has released its 2016 Super Bowl commercial, featuring the R8 supercar.

The spot tells the story of a retired astronaut who rediscovers the excitement of life thanks a drive in a new R8. The commercial is backed by David Bowie’s , a fitting tribute to the recently deceased musician.

The 2017 R8 is capable of a 205 mph top speed with a 3.2-second 0-60 mph run.
