Quoting Del Long (DM/EM car constructor):

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 computer graphics---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 bring a tear to the eye.

Even if you're not a gearhead, this video will stir the soul.

There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM !!!
