Can
you just imagine the red tape, permits and cost to pull off this commercial? This is very cool.
Here's
a link to a Shell commercial shown in Europe.
Ostensibly,
they're selling gasoline, but the cars used in the video steal the show.
Ferrari
pulled several of their race cars from various ages out of storage, flew them
around the world and filmed them running through the streets of Rome, Rio, New
York, Hong Kong, Honolulu and Monaco.
No
computer graphics, these are the original cars on the original streets.
The
best part is the sound from the basso-profundo notes of the early, front-engine
era, each scene cuts to a later generation, ending with the wail of a modern F1
car. The sounds alone brings a tear to
the eye.
Even
if you're not a gear head, this video will stir the soul.
There's
just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM!
