Ferrari/shell commercial with great sound!
Got this in an email and thought people here would love it!
Here's a link to a Shell commercial shown in Europe. Ostensibly, they're selling gasoline, but the cars used in the video steal the show.
Ferrari pulled several of their race cars from various ages out of storage, flew them around the world, and filmed them running through the streets of Rome, Rio, New York, Hong Kong, Honolulu, and Monaco. No CGI -these are the original cars on the original streets.
The best part is the sound - from the basso-profundo notes of the early, front-engine era, each scene cuts to a later generation, ending with the wail of a modern F1 car.
The sounds alone are awesome
Even if you're not a gearhead, this video will stir the soul.
There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM !

Steve,
I agree. I love the sound of a thundering American V-8, but that super quick rap of a Ferrari is a beautiful sound.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
