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. There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM ! http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=1_kwxzU4wL4&vq=medium
Shell gasoline for me from now on! I have watched it 8 times already. That is a great find. Thanks for posting. Curious....How old is the commercial?
WOW, WOW and WOW. I feel like going out in my 355 in the middle of the night and gutting out the exhaust all the way Thanks for the post link
This is the first time I have seen it. I am grateful that it was posted! Hell Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never seen it before I posted it as many other brothers here in the forum haven't. I can't stop watching it. Makes me proud to be part of that heritage. Hey Lambo...watch and learn.
Not sure why you felt the need to call me an idiot for simply stating that it is a great commercial but that it has been posted before many times here on Fchat. Some examples for you: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=320087&highlight=shell+commercial http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=316503&highlight=shell+commercial http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=315903&highlight=shell+commercial http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=313718&highlight=shell+commercial http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=310404&highlight=shell+commercial http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=291637&highlight=shell+commercial http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=278550&highlight=shell+commercial http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=272367&highlight=shell+commercial http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=271876&highlight=shell+commercial http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=143684&highlight=shell+commercial http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=234266&highlight=shell+commercial I'll refrain from stooping to your level on the name calling, have a nice day Michael.
Peace my brothers. Most of those previous posts have been on the general discussions forums, only once on the 348/355 forum and that one posted before I had my 355 and became a member on Fchat. I rarely venture off unless it's NY Northeast or Bradan's forum. So this is why I have never seen it.
Glad you and others who have not seen it before enjoyed it Steve, I love it too. My problem is with someone calling me an idiot for simply saying it was a great commercial but has been posted many times before on this forum (FerrariChat) which it has as I have shown and those examples are just a sample as there are more. Michael's personal attack was uncalled for, plain and simple.
