    unless it was a pre war Silver Arrow GP car, i dont think it could have been a benz, the M100 6.3 had an autobox. the 300SL Gullwing does not accelerate like that,

    it can only be an Italian Stallion...no bull...

    Ferrari passion....

    Do a search on here or google and you'll find pics of the Merc in question with the bumper mounted camera with the Director/Driver

    I stand corrected - thanks AndrewG!!

    The car is a W116 6.9 Saloon - these car can be found quite cheaply today. It takes two people to lift the crankshaft.

    heres a link to the article in French - has anyone read the English version?

    http://www.axe-net.be/rdv/presentation.php Pic of car attached from site

    from Wikipedia.org
    "Claude Lelouch - the film maker used a 6.9L Mercedes in the filming of his infamous short film C'était un rendez-vous in 1976. Despite fans speculation about Ferrari models for many years, the film shows an 8-minute drive through Paris in the morning hours, accompanied by sounds of a high-revving engine and squealing tyres that were later dubbed over. It starts in a tunnel of the Paris Périphérique, with an onboard view from a car exiting up on a ramp to Avenue Foch. The driver frightens unwitting pedestrians, scatters birds, runs stoplights at high speed, goes the wrong way down one-way streets, and crosses center lines. The car is never seen, as the camera was attached at the front bumper. "

    The Mercedes angle is a new one to me. The last "other car" theory I saw is that it was a Matra prototype being driven by either Jacques Lafitte or Johnny Servoz-Gavin (who just passed away, btw).

    The thing is it's not that fast when you turn the sound off (which is also just dubbed over sound effect - note the repetitive screeching sounds that are exactly the same... they use 2-3 sounds over and over).

    If you want REAL insanity, check out the Ghostrider bike vids and the Getaway in Stockholm series. Those make this look like a Sunday cruise for ice cream.

    ive seen that video. At first its really awesome cuz u think putting a 275 GTB trough its paces through a quiet city is an awesome idea, and it is. Long video, I was entertained for a while but eventually I just wanted more speed...and I have to say that I found out tire screachin gon the good ol' 275 was a terrible problem. However I never got tired of the screaming V12...3.3liters I think

    NO. It was a pizza delivery guy driving a 2CV that Claude swapped out for the final shot. I have the proof. Send me $20.00 (cash only) and I will send you the proof.
