Rendezvous

Post by Ronnie » 05 Dec 2008 04:04 am

5:00am - 1976 - 100mph - in Paris - in a Ferrari - does it get any better than that?

Best watched on home cinema - but get a taste of it here:

Edit - it was actually a Mercedes with the Ferrari sound track dubbed over the top http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C'était_un_rendez-vous, but that doesn't take anything away from the film

Edit by Chris_C - Fixed - it didnt like underline and link tags around the same thing.

Awesome video - They showed some of it on Top Gear a year or two back. The sound is amazing as well :D

There was a lot of mystery surrounding this - What car was used, was the sound dubbed and who was driving. I expect they're all answered by Wikipedia, but it's a bit less special without the mystery ;)

Also I suspect that there was not used very high speed as at some places it is clearly speeded up.

I would rather like to see original video where sound is taken from ;)

Of course it is nice to see how in old Paris one could see sky at nights, I believe that is something impossible today, one can probably see only orange glow from street lamps.

Car was a Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9 with a 3 speed slush box. Ferrari sound track was dubbed in afterwards. You can hardly blame him for using the Merc - it would be a brave man to bolt that thing on the front of his dream Ferrari.

There is no evidence that film was speeded up - independent analysts suggest that the car was topping out somewhere between 85 and 135mph.
