The camera sits exactly where your hands would be, so the click promises the drive itself rather than a talk about the car. The odd half wheel makes you want to grip it. The title's launch figure warns you the ride will be violent.
How the packaging works
Title
The title supplies the brutal launch figure that the image cannot show.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail puts you in the driver's seat with one hand on the strange half wheel.
Remix this
Use a first-person frame when the experience is the product, because viewers click to borrow your seat for fifteen minutes. Show hands and controls exactly as the driver sees them, and save every number for the title.
The transferable lesson
Point-of-view sells the experience, the title sells the spec.

Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
