What’s that smell? Fear, according to Kawasaki Motors Corp., which is preparing to launch ads promoting its new Prairie 650 all-terrain vehicle.

Created by FCB in Irvine, Calif., a 30-second TV spot focuses on the power of the Prairie 650, which Kawasaki claims is the first ATV to feature a V-Twin engine.

The ad opens with a puddle in the forest and the ominous sound of an engine. As the Prairie 650 is shown whipping through the woods, a voice says: “That scent you’re picking up around other riders? It’s called fear.”
