## Overview

Design an automotive hero with full-viewport video (min 600px, max 965px). Ideal for concessionárias de carros, marketplaces automotivos, marcas de veículos, landing pages de lançamento. AI-ready template. The automotive hero section has always been about one thing: making metal feel alive. In the early web era, car brands relied on static photography with dramatic lighting — think BMW's early 2000s campaigns where a single hero shot carried the entire emotional weight. The shift to full-bleed video backgrounds around 2012-2014 changed everything. Suddenly you could communicate speed, engineering precision, and aspiration without a single word of copy.

Tesla's website circa 2015 stripped the automotive hero down to its essence: cinematic video, minimal UI, one CTA. That restraint became the template. But what made it work wasn't the video itself — it was the confidence to let the product speak. Every EV startup since has tried to replicate this, most failing because they layer too much on top. The best automotive heroes today borrow from film direction: shallow depth of field, deliberate pacing, sound design that rewards unmuting. They treat the browser as a theater, not a billboard.

The current generation pushes further with scroll-driven reveals and ambient motion that responds to cursor position, creating a sense of presence that static frames never achieved.
