Leonard Nimoy, Zachary Quinto Audi Commercial [VIDEO]: Old & New Spock Face Off in 'The Challenge'

We live in a world with two Spocks. Luckily, both actors (Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto) are always up for a good laugh. Audi has taken these two Star Trek actors and put them into a commercial that has them competing against each other. Considering the commercial is for Audi, a car race is involved. The last one to get to the golf club has to buy lunch. But which Spock is better equipped for "The Challenge?"

The advertisement opens with the new Spock, Quinto, making a move on an interactive chess game. He calls the old Spock, Nimoy, to let him know but Nimoy is ready and wins the match. Quinto is not happy with this loss so he invited the original Spock out for a game of golf and some lunch. But there is a catch: whoever gets to the club last must pay for lunch. Nimoy accepts this challenge and they both start the race.

Audi's official synopsis for this commercial, entitled "The Challenge," is as follows:

What happens when old school goes head to head with new school in a battle of speed and wits? Leonard Nimoy takes on newbie Zachary Quinto and his all-new Audi S7.

So Quinto has the upper hand with his new Audi and it is clear that he will succeed. However, the commercial is well thought out and pretty funny. Quinto's scnenes involve cool camera angles and intense music whereas Nimoy has comical music and funny little lines. After Nimoy finally pulls up, he quotes one of his most famous lines from Star Trek 2, which of course is another great addition to the commercial.

So it looks like Quinto wins, right? Well, not exactly. Nimoy has another trick up his sleeve.
