The Spike Jonze-directed promo shows the rapping duo make a number of modifications to a black Maybach before taking it on a joyride in front of the American flag.
'Otis' - featuring a sample from soul singer Otis Redding - is lifted from the pair's collaborative album Watch the Throne, which was released earlier this week.
Watch the video for Jay-Z and Kanye West's 'Otis' below:
Watch the Throne went straight to number one on iTunes in 23 different countries when it came out digitally on Monday.
Jay-Z and West - known jointly as The Throne - had announced plans to tour the album in North America later this year, but postponed a number of the concert dates last week.
Jay-Z finished ahead of West in the latest Forbes list of hip-hop's richest artists. The '99 Problems' rapper topped the pile with earnings of $35m (£21.6m) in the past year, while P Diddy and West took second and third place respectively.
