    I think we all know the famous Wham track Club Tropicana. In the first 10 seconds there sounds like a chick drives up in a Ferrari, revs it and gets out to walk into the party.

    So here goes. For years I was sure the car must have been something exotic, clearly high revving, short stroke etc. etc. My dreams were shattered when I looked up the video on YouTube. Now to do this properly, you've got to only listen to the video - don't peek until you watch it the second time

    ha ha , me thinks they did some dubbing.

    Ironically those cars are now pretty rare and somewhat desirable.

    Lee,

    Before getting to the car/dubbing, I gotta wonder what you're doing listening to Wham in the first place....

    j/k....

    I think you've lost your mind: 1) You can hardly hear the car; 2) You listen to Wham

    ha ha, don't read too much into the wham thing, but if you happen to have the original track the car sounds really loud.

    Maybe it's the heat over here at the moment :)

    I grew up in the 80's, teach rock music history and thankfully don't know that song. I made it through 3 seconds of George Michael in that clip.

    Sorry guys but of course isn't a Ferrari but a small Citroen Mehari.
    As you know the engine is a twin air cooled boxer cylinder, the same of the famous Citroen 2CV. Not a Ferrari, maybe the sound, but not the car...
    I don't know really why they use a Mehari in the video instead of a beautiful sporty car, as a Ferrari, Lambo or any other. But a Mehari???
