“Fast and Furious” is considered cult among car and tuning fans all around the world. Therefore, the DOTZ tuning experts are simmering with excitement in view of April 14 when the Hollywood blockbuster “Fast and Furious 8” will race into theatres worldwide. As cooperation partner for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the innovative rim manufacturer launches various promotions and an ad campaign for the movie release.



“Fast and Furious” kicked off with Part 1 in 2001, and ever since has had a huge fan following around the globe. In Part 8 the popular street racing franchise takes a shocking turn. Dom aka Vin Diesel opposes his “family” when he unexpectedly teams up with criminal Cipher (Charlize Theron). Has he really changed sides or is he just playing a double game? Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell) is there to find out. He mobilizes the gang around Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Roman (Tyrese Gibson) and Tej (Ludacris). Action is guaranteed when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jason Statham, and other superstars, race around the globe.



As “Fast and Furious 8” cooperation partner, tuning rim brand DOTZ is kicking off various promotions and offering great prizes. The current online and print ad motifs have been expanded to include the official movie theme. At the end of March, the cooperation with Universal Pictures, AVIA and DOTZ will announce a prize game at more than 900 fuel stations across Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as on large-format posters.

Worldwide movie release: 14 April, 2017
