This is simply amazing.  I do believe a few traffic laws were violated in the making of this video.:rotfl:  It's unbelievable.  I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen.  I wonder when it was done; it appears to be footage from some movie, but I have no idea.  I don't even see that most streets were blocked for the run.  It appears to have been filmed in the mid-late 1970s, and bearing in mind that Europe is rather far north, it could have been done in the very early morning, say about 4:00 am; it gets light around 3 am at the summer solstice, so not much traffic would have been on the road at that time....still....amazing that this stunt was ever attempted.

OK, I found a wikipedia entry describing this film, shot in 1976. Apparently the sound is dubbed from a Ferrari, but the film is real and shot live.

Here's another discussion about the film:

And here's a recent description of how they made the film - interview with the producer.  In French.  He says he did it himself, and he was the driver, in his own Mercedes 450SEL 6.9.

And here's a copy-cat film produced by Nissan advertising the 350Z, done in a city I know very well - Prague.

Somehow, not as exciting.
