The video was shot 400 meters below ground in a European salt mine with the help of World Rallycross Championship driver Elfyn Evans, who was behind the wheel.

The commercial shows the Fiesta ST ripping through dirt and salt as it maneuvers through the 37-mile network of underground tunnels. It can be seen drifting and tearing through the mine at high speeds, showing a whole…
