"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 ... all » 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."

Anyone know which music video its being used in???? :thinking:

It's a Google video of C'était un Rendez-vous, the eight minute film shot by Claude LeLouch driving through Paris at five in the morning on his way to meeting a lassie.

However, recent detective work has spoiled a bit of the romance. It was originally claimed he was driving a Ferrari 275GTB at speeds of up to 240km/h. Truth is he was using a Mercedes automatic (450SEL?), and never reached higher than about 160km/h. The soundtrack was just overdubbed to make it seem more spectacular.

Still a good watch, and there's now a website that lets you track the route as you watch using Google Maps. Modern technology, eh?

Ahh Yes !! The 1 that ends up at some steps and the bloke getting out and going up the steps to his girlfriend :thinking:

Well, the overdubbing must have been damn good, because it seems fairly well synchronised, including a few wrong gears. Sounds like some V12 music. Certainly not a V8 as in the 450. I wonder if I took the mufflers off my V12 it would sound like that? I recognised a number of locations from when I visited Paris for a couple of weeks in 2001. Cool stuff!
