City Streets and Fast Cars

February 10, 2014 Posted in  Driving Impressions | Comments: 1

What car enthusiast hasn’t fantasized about driving a fast car at breakneck speeds through a bustling city!  The most famous such escapade was filmed in 1976  by Claude Lelouch, a French director, who staged a highspeed run through the early morning streets of Paris.  This short film has long been a part of underground car lore.

A few years ago, an Austin area couple, spending a month in downtown Paris, researched the route of the original Lelouch film, and decided to follow the same route with their own Paris street chase, featuring a 1972 Ferrari 365GTC/4.

The resulting video can be viewed below. Not recommended for viewers with high blood pressure!  Be sure and strap on your seatbelt, AND for the best experience, click the full screen square in lower RH corner of the video, and CRANK UP THE VOLUME (recorded in full Dolby stereo):
