A new ad starring Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and Commander Spock (Leonard Nimoy) hit the web on October 2nd to promote Volkswagen's electric vehicles in Germany.

A young Trekkie is thrilled to have Shatner as a new neighbour, so he goes over to see him and discovers a brand new e-Golf in the famous actor's garage. They go for a drive together -- with the Star Trek theme playing in the car, obviously -- and they happen to come across Nimoy, who is driving a diesel-powered XL1 plug-in hybrid.

Who better than two official members of the Enterprise to usher in a new era of e-mobility at Volkswagen?
