Jalopnik points out an ad for Brazilian automaker Troller Veículos Especiais S/A (aka Troller), which is actually just news footage from the historic floods that have swept the South American country.
In short, a news helicopter catches a Troller (essentially a diesel-powered Jeep) driving through the flooded streets of Sao Paolo, water up to the windshield. Despite being nearly submerged, the rig powers through the flood-ravaged streets as though it were on a leisurely Sunday drive. “We know the vehicle, but we don’t know the driver” reads copy accompanying the ad (above) “This Truck’s Yours?”
Apparently, the driver’s identity is still unknown.
If you’re wondering how a vehicle is capable of driving with its engine under water, the answer is pretty simple. A snorkel. Click here to see what we mean.
