[DeTomaso] NPC Ferrari Shell Commercial

[Damaadams]

I have that one saved to my hard drive. I also have the companion piece "making of" film that shows how they filmed it. Pretty cool stuff.?It makes our US ad spots look?very lame by comparison.?

   This was sent to me at work, enjoy ! 
 
Crank up the sound for this... 
 
 
.. 
 
Here's a link to a Shell commercial shown in Europe. Ostensibly 
they're selling gasoline, but the Ferrari's 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 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 and 
later generation, ending with the banshee-wail of a modern F1 car. 
Even if you're not a gearhead, this video will stir the soul. 
 
There's just something about 3 litres and 14,000 RPM !
