I'm sure some of you have seen it but I bet most haven't ... this 9 min film is a really treat ... "A classic piece of motoring film! Renowned French director Claude Lelouch mounted a camera on the front of his Ferrari (so the rumour goes) and then drove flat out through the streets of early morning Paris, running red lights, dodging trucks, cars & pedestrians and racing down the Champs Elysees at over 100mph." .... i put it on photobucket ... heres a link I hope it works.

I may be wrong, but I believe Nissan remade that film using a 350Z and called it "The Run".

 

that's old. There is a website talking about the video and how the sound was added later. The sound is a Ferrari but some believe it was actually a Mercedes that drove the course. yay...

 

A 1979 Mercedes 300D actually... if you can imagine... which I surely can. We have a winnah!

 

that look soooo amacingly performance enhanced and really good at cornering and crazy acceleration

 

now this mercedes ok i buy it

 

oh la-la! The Cedes Evolution... nice!

 

Maybe it was the crappy computer i used to watch the video, but it really didnt look like the car was going all that fast . . . .

 

Yes indeed very nice. Yeah, I've seen that video too, but always a pleasure to see it again.

 

the whole reason it's cool is that it's a real drive, not special effects or multiple takes with editing it's one take ... this is supposed to be a non-staged, without premission drive. ... the 350z - "The Run" was on a closed course of streets with premission. ... from what I've read about this film the director/driver Claude Lelouch, strapped a gyro equipped film camera on his ferrari and had 2 other people in the car in 1976 at about 6:00am

 

Not Ferrari... Mercedes.

 

the cover of the dvd has a red ferrari on it goto blackwatchracing.com

 

taht guy is nuts regardless.

 

I appoligize it was a mercedes according to the director's site it was a mercedes 450sel ... the ferrari sound was dubbed in later ... but it's still cool

 

I think it was actually a 1986 300ZX turbo from the future... with ferrari engine sounds dubbed in

 

you know it

 

i am still not veddy impressed with mercedes bends anymore--since i have the impression of one still--in the back of my NA.

gay cars--they are into sodomization.
