On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur. No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit. The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets to meet someone at the end.. Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground until a DVD release a few years ago.

This may have been posted before but I don't check this section too often so don't whinge.

Mighty fine engine note. No doubt the Gendarmerie were in hot pursuit in a fleet of modded Renault 4's:p

Does it seem fake to anyone else? The car is dipping under braking when the sound is still accelerating :confounded:. Anyone that knows, clarify this :innocent:
