Does anyone have this version of greatest Hits?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Queen-Greatest-Hits-We/dp/B0002M5U88/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1WFDBI3KEBGLJ&dchild=1&keywords=queen+greatest+hits+cd&qid=1594983055&sprefix=queen+greatest+hits+%2Caps%2C192&sr=8-7

One of the bonus tracks is "I'm In Love With My Car (as heard in the Jaguar campaign, Previously unreleased version)". There is a short version of this on Youtube. However, is the version on greatest hits longer? different? worth a listen?
"Queen is the only band in the world that can play so heavily that your nose bleeds, then offer a silk handkerchief to clean up with."
From what I remember (I don't recall why I bought it, except that I was in that phase of "gotta buy everything Queen-related!") I believe it was more or less the "single version", so it had the engines revving in the beginning before the song started. Minor differences and certainly not worth the money I paid for it at the time.
I have the CD but I don't remember where did I put it.
Sorry for my bad English!
It’s a US/Hollywood release. There’s also a two disc version that comes with a DVD. From what I remember, they use the 2001 Peter Mew remasters.

I’m In Love With My Car is the single version.

That is just the Hollywood Records version and nothing to get your knickers in a twist for!

Thanks for the info.

Maybe related, but was that the same CD/DVD that FINALLY had the Innuendo promo video on the DVD? I seem to recall there was one random Hollywood Records release that had it...
The dvd had Somebody To Love with George Michael and The Show Must Go On with Elton John. I think it was The A to Z of Queen that had the dvd with Innuendo.

The A-Z of Queen was released in 2007.

It was indeed “The A-Z of Queen volume 1” that came with a dvd that included, amongst other videos such as A Kind of Magic, Bohemian Rhapsody, Don’t Stop Me Now (the promo videos), the promo video for Innuendo. Other videos were two Queen + Paul Rodgers live tracks, one Live at the Bowl track, one from Wembley and an interview segment from Wembley.
Catalogue number D000049500, released in 2007.
