Wow! Cork, what a drive. The guy had to be crazy.

I had not seen this clip before. Turn your sound up and enjoy!

On an August morning in 1978, French director 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 driver
barrel-assed all the way from Porte Dauphine (on the city's western edge,
adjacent to the Bois de Bologne) to the Basilica Sacre Coeur in Montmartre .

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 several one-way
streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He
has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground
until a DVD release a few years ago.

Few things in the world sound as wonderful as a Ferrari engine at speed.

Crank up your sound....

Last I checked, it'd been proven that it wasn't a Ferrari but something far=
more pedestrian: a MB450SEL.
