TURN UP THE SOUND and link to this ad : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_kwxzU4w...re=related



Shell commercial shown in Europe .



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 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 and



later generation, ending with the banshee-wail of a modern F1 car. The sounds alone bring a tear to the eye.



There's just something about 14,000 RPM !
That's a classic, great commercial.
Just gotta love the sounds!
I know that Ferrari used to crush their old race cars (which is why none of the shark nose cars Phil Hill drove the year he won the world championship are still in existence). It's nice that some of them survive.
Simply incredible commercial... Topped only by the Elizabeth Hurley "Deforestation" spot!

One of our own NorCal 968-er ( Arash ) sent me a funny email stating : " that's B.S., I filled up the tank with Shell gas and my car still sounds nothing like a Ferrari ! " <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> To which I replied : " - that's because you don't have a BB catback like mine, sounds far better than any cheap-ass Ferrari does <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> "
Can I just say... "That is friggin' awesome!"
Those sounds make me feel emotion...Chills!!
