Ferrari 275 GTB Ripping Through The Streets of Paris

Filed Under (Cool Stuff, Racing) by Chantal on 10-04-2006

On a cold August morning in 1976, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at insane speeds through the heart of Paris.

Streets were not closed, Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit. Lelouch was arrested when he first pre viewed this to an audience in France. In his defense, he stated that he had taken all possible precautions. This included hiring a Formula One driver to helm the car (refusing to name him).

The Ferrari 275 GTB was one of Ferrari’s classic race cars and also beautiful.

    Actually it wasn’t a Ferrari 275 at all. There was a show documenting the making of this video and it was done with a Mercedes sedan. I think they added engine sounds in postprod.
