Getaway in stockholm?
There is side to side roll, but no nose dive on the brakes. If you look, the nose does lift when he accelerates. I put a cam on my bumper and did the same sort of thing. I know what it is supposed to look like. On wikipedia, it says that he used a gyroscopic stabilizing camera. It stabilized the dip with the brakes, but nothing else? It claims that there were no photography tricks used. But he never claims how fast he was going. Estimates have been as low as 80mph, which makes a lot more sense, especially if we assume the soundtrack was heavily edited.
getaway in stockholm II to be exact.
SHHHH
its on the internet, its real life, and it did happen.
YESSSSS!!! thats the one. that vid was awesome
Sound was edited, some elements are just out of place. I doubt camera tricks were used becuase the surrounding enviornment looks constant, no evidence or hints of the footage being sped up or slowed down.
I’m sure the overall video is 100% true. In that long straight section before the circle, according to the link HRK posted, he only hit about 136mph. And although being a Ferrari 275 GTB, it is in 1976. Something like the Civic Si would eclipse that today. Too often people compare what they see to what the know, and that can easily give a false perception.
Cool video overall, especially when you take in to account WHEN it was made.
Sorry, its been a couple years since I have watched any of them.
:tup: always liked this vid. its like street racing snuff film.
very, very impressive. and scary.

On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker 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 course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.

buying the dvd might be worth it… looks like it was remastered quite well:

If you haven’t seen this video full size.
Watch it that way first.

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.”
Combining the popular Rendevous video with Google maps is ingenious. Once the video has buffered a bit, wait until it gets to the 4 second mark and hit the “go” button. I suggest zooming in a bit and using the satellite view.

Saw this on another forum last night… very cool idea to sync the video to the Google map. It gives you a good idea of the distance travelled in that short time.
I love this footage… this is a cool effect. :tup:

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, for the last third of the film, driving the wrong way up real 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
