[DeTomaso] NPC-Ferrari Shell Commercial -- Europe

Ferrari Shell Commercial -- Europe

 


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 CGI -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 bring a tear to the eye.

Even if you're not a gearhead, this video will stir the soul.

There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM !
