[DeTomaso] NPC Shell Ferrari Ad

[Bill Lewis]

So, watching the cars go much slower through the hair pin curves, the question arises, assuming that the car can safely make ANY curve at any speed - what speed is a human driver capable of attaining through these curves?  Wouldn't that be a heck of a simulator ride!    --BILL Lewis

Subj: FW: Shell Commercial . . .
 
 
Can you just imagine the red tape, permits and cost to pull off this
commercial?
 
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.
 
There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM!
