Sounds like a nasty car, but he doesn't seem to be going too fast.

11/17/2005 2:25:19 PM

Interesting... sounds nice, but looks like the speed of a fast go kart...

... there is one scene at the end with this old lady walking across the street and they almost hit her

11/17/2005 3:24:41 PM

I dont see what's so great about it other than it giving a very nice tour of Paris I'm keeping it just because of that

Definitely needs more front tire grip Do you know what theyre driving?

11/17/2005 3:31:46 PM

I like how many red lights he ran.

here:

Quote :

"On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur. No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit. The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets."

I have a hard time believing that this is a REAL video.

None of the cars are on fire dude.

11/17/2005 4:23:54 PM

cool seeing him fly around the arc de triumph

11/17/2005 4:42:09 PM

im suprised he didnt hit any of them pigeons going that fast. ive hit doves going 50 mph

11/17/2005 5:50:13 PM

140mph? looked like 20mph faster than traffic as far as I saw

140kph

i mean it was filmed in the seventies and the dude is driving a car.

these days it gets a lot faster. ghostrider was averaging something like 140-150 mph in the last couple videos and he had a whole lot more traffic around

I like where he played chicken with that one car and turned into a side street.

my thought exactly

11/17/2005 6:48:21 PM

hell, i would've guessed it to be a shifter kart. not a fucking ferrari.

well, it is a ferrari, but its not a modern one by any means. 275GTB was a great little sports car with a free revving small displacement v12, sounds nice but you could say it talked big and carried a little stick. compare it to a stock s2000 if the s2000 only had 5 close gears.

well then paris definitely needs to lose the slick cobblestones then dont you think? i wonder how many of those streets have been paved since 1978.

11/17/2005 9:38:57 PM

^why 1978?

11/17/2005 9:41:28 PM

dude was killin it

11/17/2005 9:43:42 PM

Here's the part where he almost hit the lady... going 140mph



... and here he is scaring the crap out of pigeons, poor wittle pigeons ... going 140mph of course

^^ Pretty sure he didn't take that corner at 140mph. Sounded like he was in 2nd gear.

a lot of crappy readers for a bunch of college kids.

you guys are fucking dumb. you don't deserve to watch that video. die.

11/18/2005 2:13:46 AM

i thought it looked like he was going pretty fast but i thought it was like a motorcycle or something haha..cool video

11/18/2005 2:50:48 AM

Come on guys, we know he wasn't going 140 MPH around those corners. Only the most retarted person in the world would post a pic and actually believe that he's going 140 MPH around those corners...

... oh, that would be me, hehe

[/self-flame ... and sarcasm]

11/18/2005 9:18:51 AM

I have seen this one before but this is a much better print. Thanks for posting it.
here's another piece of trivia.

Almost everyone knows that the director of "The French Connection" shot the chase scene
with no permits and that Hackman did some of his own driving, but they also filmed one
high speed run using the same stunt driver (Bill Hickman) who drove the charger for "Bullit".
They pretty much mounted a camera on the car, set up the other cameras and drove flat out.

11/18/2005 9:39:34 AM

It's amazing how empty the streets were, especially for a city like Paris. That could never be done today with all the traffic and such

11/19/2005 1:47:04 PM

^ that was probably filmed at like 6AM.

11/19/2005 1:58:37 PM

thats a picture of the long street he was on before the Arc, i took it from on top of the Arc

now it has le defense at the end of it (huge square thing)

11/19/2005 4:48:20 PM

paris does have nice straight away large streets.
