Spock takes on Spock in this ultra-geeky Audi ad

It’s the kind of thing usually reserved for geek fantasies or bad fan fiction, but in the world portrayed by a new Audi ad Leonard Nimoy (classic Spock) and Zachary Quinto (Spock in the JJ Abrams Star Trek films) hang out and have a massive competitive streak.

In the ad, Nimoy beats Quinto at chess who then challenges him to a round of golf, adding that whoever gets to the club first has to buy lunch. Quinto has an Audi S7 which, the German marque would have you believe, has features straight out of the Star Trek universe and a boot that’s big enough for golf clubs. Nimoy meanwhile is stuck with a Mercedes that has an inferior boot and is forced to strap his clubs into the passenger seat.

There are Trekkie references galore, including a Vulcan nerve pinch thrown in for good measure.
